Les aires protégées et conservées (APC) préservent la biodiversité tout en fournissant des services écosystémiques fondamentaux pour la santé humaine et animale, allant de la filtration de l’eau à la régulation du climat. Toutefois, ces mêmes APC peuvent servir de foyers d’émergence ou de propagation de maladies infectieuses entre les populations humaines, la faune sauvage et les animaux domestiques.

This document summarises findings from two independent programme-level assessments that provide a consolidated analysis of the effectiveness of conservation approaches under SOS AWI, with a particular focus on large African carnivores, the habitats they depend on and associated community livelihood support activities. It is intended as a synthesis of study findings, project results and learnings from across the SOS AWI portfolio of projects.

Despite being among the most productive and valuable natural ecosystems, mangroves face significant human pressures, making it essential to know their status for effective conservation and management. This global assessment of mangrove ecosystems represents a landmark effort to understand the status and trends of mangroves worldwide. It is the first time that all occurrences of a single Ecosystem Functional Group have been assessed.

Agricultural standards and associated certification schemes can play a critical role in mainstreaming biodiversity conservation within farming practices. However, the diversity of standards and criteria makes it difficult to understand how effective they are in raising ambition for biodiversity conservation and delivering contributions to the Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KMGBF).
