La République démocratique du Congo (RDC) est l’un des pays présentant la biodiversité la plus riche au monde. Il abrite plus de 10 000 espèces de plantes et une faune emblématique comme le gorille de montagne, le bonobo, l’okapi et l’éléphant des forêts. Ses écosystèmes comprennent les vastes savanes, zones humides, forêts montagneuses et forêts tropicales du bassin du Congo, qui, pour beaucoup, sont d’importance mondiale.

The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is one of the world’s most biodiverse countries, home to over 10,000 plant species and iconic wildlife like mountain gorillas, bonobos, okapis, and forest elephants. Its ecosystems include the vast Congo Basin rainforest, savannas, wetlands, and montane forests, many of which are globally significant. However, this biodiversity faces significant conservation challenges, exacerbated by socioeconomic instability.

Le Cameroun abrite une biodiversité riche qui s’étend sur ses savanes, ses forêts et ses écosystèmes d’eau douce. Celle-ci soutient plus de 9 000 espèces de plantes, 900 espèces d’oiseaux et près de 300 espèces de mammifères, notamment des animaux en danger emblématiques comme l’éléphant des forêts, le gorille de plaine de l’Ouest, le chimpanzé, le lion et le lamantin.

Cameroon hosts rich biodiversity that stretches across its savannahs, forests, and freshwater ecosystems, supporting over 9,000 plant species, 900 bird species, and nearly 300 mammal species, including iconic and endangered animals like forest elephants, western lowland gorillas, chimpanzees, lions, and manatees.

This document provides an overview of IUCN’s Resolutions and policy positions relating to pollution, organized in four main areas:

This compendium, developed by Ipieca and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), aims to encourage the exploration of co-use opportunities in solar and wind energy projects, focusing on onshore projects. The main co-use strategies typically fall into several key categories, depending on the secondary land use integrated with renewable energy projects. Co-use could include co-locating two or more types of renewable energy generation on one site.

The Restoration Opportunities Assessment Methodology (ROAM) was developed by IUCN and the World Resources Institute (WRI) to assist countries in identifying opportunities for forest landscape restoration (FLR), analysing priority areas at a national or sub-national level, and designing and implementing FLR interventions.

This guidebook is based on an understanding that social equity refers to fairness and justice with respect to the ways that people are recognised, treated, or impacted by conservation initiatives. It is also grounded on a common framework for assessing equity that includes six dimensions: recognitional, procedural, management, environmental, distributional, and contextual and structural equity.

Ce recueil sur les savoirs traditionnels en matière de conservation des mangroves s’inscrit dans le cadre du projet Natur’ELLES, mis en oeuvre par l’UICN-PACO et la SOCODEVI, avec l’appui financier du gouvernement canadien.

This guidance introduces a practical tool designed to support the identification and assessment of OECMs in China. It is structured in three parts: Section 1 provides an overview of the global OECM framework, relevant Chinese policy context, and maps potential OECMs across ecological, agricultural, and urban landscapes. Section 2 presents a set of 11 tailored indicators for assessing OECMs in China, adapted from IUCN’s international criteria.
