This report presents findings from an assessment of the biodiversity conservation potential of four project sites: Lobaye, Mambéré-Kadéï, Ombella-Mpoko, and Sangha-Mbaéré located in the Bangui region of the Central African Republic (CAR). This assessment was done using the Species Threat Abatement and Recovery (STAR) metric, which employs  high-resolution imagery and an approach to modelling species’ Area of Habitat (AOH) that was revised after June 2020 among other enhancements.

The Global Species Action Plan (GSAP) is a critical initiative developed to support the implementation of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF), to address the increasing biodiversity loss worldwide. The GSAP outlines strategic interventions and actions to conserve and sustainably manage species while ensuring equitable benefits. Emphasizing the critical role of species in ecosystem stability, human livelihoods, and cultural heritage, the GSAP seeks to prevent extinctions, reduce threats, and ensure equitable benefits from species use.

Our living planet is and has always been on the move. Many species move in search of necessities such as food, water, shelter, reproduction, and safety. In some cases, movements are an adaptive response to environmental stresses and shocks; in other cases, environmental change, whether land degradation, climate change or other forms, may add to other drivers of migration.

The Niger Delta region of Nigeria is facing severe environmental challenges due to widespread oil extraction activities, resulting in recurring oil spills and adverse effects on biodiversity, ecosystem services and livelihoods. This report documents the implementation of protocols of the IUCN Niger Delta Biodiversity Technical Advisory Group (BTAG) on two impacted sites at Adibawa Well 8 S/L wellhead in Joinkrama, Rivers State, and Adibawa North-East 1 wellhead in Tien Biseni, Bayelsa State, both located in the Niger Delta, Nigeria.

El Plan de Acción Mundial para las Especies (PAME) ha sido desarrollado para apoyar la implementación del Marco Mundial de  Kunming-Montreal para la Biodiversidad (MMB) al definir las intervenciones estratégicas clave y las acciones necesarias para lograr resultados exitosos en materia de conservación y uso sostenible de las especies alineados con la Misión, los Objetivos y las  Metas del MMB.

Le Plan d’action mondial pour les espèces (PAME) a été élaboré pour soutenir la mise en oeuvre du Cadre mondial de Kunming-Montréal pour la biodiversité (CMB) en définissant les principales interventions et actions stratégiques nécessaires pour obtenir des résultats positifs en matière de conservation et d’utilisation durable des espèces dans la mission, les objectifs et les cibles du CMB.

The golden monkey, Cercopithecus mitis kandti, an Endangered subspecies of blue monkey, is found in only two small populations in the central part of the Albertine Rift region in Central/East Africa. Since the 1950s, the habitat of golden monkeys has been lost or degraded in the Virunga massif (Democratic Republic of the Congo,  Rwanda, Uganda), including a reduction of approximately 50% in the Volcanoes National Park (VNP), the Rwandan part of the Virunga massif, and by a staggering 98% in the Gishwati forest located in Rwanda.
