La Commission de la Sauvegarde des Espèces (CSE) de l'Union Internationale pour la Conservation de la Nature (UICN) décrit par la présente sa position par rapport à l'incidence et l'ampleur croissantes de l'utilisation de poisons qui a provoqué un déclin catastrophique des populations d'animaux sauvages en Afrique, au cours des dernières années. 

This position statement was published by the IUCN Species Survival Commission to outline its position in relation to the increasing incidence and scale of the use of poison causing catastrophic declines in wildlife populations across Africa in recent years. 

This report is the seventh iteration of the biennial listing of a consensus of the 25 primate species considered to be among the most endangered worldwide and the most in need of conservation measures. The list includes 5 species from Africa, 6 from Madagascar, 9 from Asia, and 5 from the Neotropics. This publication includes comprehensive information about the threats facing these primates, with bibliographic references cited in the text.

This book describes how the four-year GEF-funded project “Removing Barriers to Invasive Plant Management in Africa” was instrumental in developing ways of limiting the severe ecological, social and economic impacts in different parts of Africa of a number of particularly devastating alien plant invaders.
