En Afrique de l’ouest, la principale, sinon la seule, activité industrielle susceptible d’avoir un impact sur les aires protégées est l’industrie extractive au sens large. En effet, pour pouvoir pleinement remplir leur rôle écologique, les aires protégées sont généralement localisées loin des agglomérations et donc loin des zones industrielles. Seules les mines, en raison des spécificités géologiques locales, sont susceptibles de s’implanter à proximité d’aires protégées.

This report represents a summary and analysis of work that has been carried out over the past decade or so, to assess and implement the environmental flow requirements of four river basins in Tanzania. These basins are the Pangani, Great Ruaha, Wami and the Mara (shared with Kenya).

During recent years there has been increasing interest in restoring the forest landscapes of Lebanon. A number of initiatives supporting different reforestation activities are being developed in the country. Most initiatives, however, have been focusing on no more than three tree species, partly because of the lack of technical references for native species production.

The Western Ghats is one of the world’s most heavily populated biodiversity hotspots providing for and supporting 400 million people through water for drinking, transport, irrigation, and hydroelectric power, together with food and resources to sustain livelihoods.

Of the current 750 marine and coastal protected areas that have been created in the Mediterranean, two thirds of these are along the northern coast of the sea. Therefore important habitats along the eastern and southern coast are under-represented. The Mediterranean Representative Areas and Species (MedRAS) project aims at identifying priority habitats and species in these under-represented areas to be managed and protected. The focus of the present report is on Libya.
