Conserving the Cross River Gorilla Landscape: Piloting a landscape-scale approach to Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD)
18-Aug-2010
|
+more
| abstract: | The Gulf of Guinea is an area of known high biodiversity importance. Despite the presence of a host of endangered and endemic species, biodiversity is under increasing threat from a number of human activities. This project aims to protect both highland and lowland corridors in the Cross River Gorilla landscape in order to effectively manage unprotected forests, and the ecosystem services they provide, thus securing local livelihoods and preserving important carbon sinks. |
| benefits: |   |
| objectives: | Strengthen management of existing protected areas; Conduct feasibility study, estimating potential emission reductions; Reduce deforestation. |
| area impacted: | The Project area falls within the 4,300km2 Takamanda-Mone Technical Operations Unit (TOU). Within the TOU, three protected areas exist, the 676km2 Takamanda National Park, created in 2008; the 538km2 Mone Forest Reserve, created in 1951 and the 19.4km2 Kagwene Gorilla Sanctuary, created in 2008. |

02-Jul-2010
|
+more
| abstract: | The Lossi Fauna Reserve is a community-based conservation satellite of the Odzala-Kokoua National Park. The main goal of the project is to strengthen the participation of local communities in the management of the protected area, thus ensuring more effective conservation of the natural resources and ecosystems in the area. Additionally, the project seeks to contribute to the preservation of highly endangered gorilla species in support of the ECOFAC conservation program in the Odzala-Kokoua National Park. |
| benefits: |   |
| objectives: | Develop conservation enterprises that would benefit local communities and increase connectivity between landscapes, ecosystems and habitats; Preserve endangered species; Sponsor education and training for protected areas scientists and staff; Strengthen the management of the community-based Lossi conservation area. |
| area impacted: | The Odzala-Kokoua National Park (OKNP) is located in the Congo Basin and is the second largest rainforest in the world after the Amazon. |

Reboisement intensif dans la zone de haute altitude du Parc National de Kahuzi-Biega
29-Jul-2010
|
+more
| abstract: | The Kahuzi-Biega National Park is one of the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s five world heritage sites and harbors the Eastern Lowland Gorilla. One of the most crucial problems of the park is the management of a buffer zone where communities in the vicinities can access natural resources in a controlled manner, to guarantee their participation in the effort of conservation. The high altitude zone of the Kahuzi-Biega National Park is surrounded by a high population density, and all forests surrounding this part of the park have been converted to agriculture and ranching. A strong pressure is now exerted on the park’s forests. In order to target a high erosion rate and avoid the deforestation of the park’s forests, this expression of interest proposes to reforest areas surrounding the park. |
| benefits: | |
| objectives: | Train nursery staff in the community to ensure the sustainability of the project, produce plants to benefit communities, plant trees on the hills identified by the communities |
| area impacted: | Area surrounding the high altitude part of Kahuzi-Biega National Park. |

Renforcement de la surveillance dans les aires marines protégées de la Guinée-Bissau
16-Aug-2010
|
+more
| abstract: | Due to its geographic location, the coastal area of Guinea-Bissau remains remarkably enriched with biodiversity and relatively abundant natural resources. These resources play a vital role in ensuring food security and producing economic benefits for the local population. In order to preserve the biodiversity, the Government of Guinea-Bissau created a system of protected areas, covering 12% of its territory. Unfortunately, the institution responsible for the management of these protected areas, the Institute of Biodiversity and Protected areas, faces difficulties ensuring effective monitoring of these protected areas. This project aims to strengthen the management and create effective monitoring of 3 marine protected areas in Guinea-Bissau. |
| benefits: |  |
| objectives: | Develop mechanisms to ensure effective marine monitoring system in 3 marine protected areas; Promote the participation of local population in the monitoring process |
| area impacted: | 3 Marine Protected Areas in Guinea-Bissau:
Parc National des îles d’Orango
Parc National Marin João Vieira-Poilão
