The Moroccan population of the Great Bustard Otis tarda, a Vulnerable species according to the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™, is small and declining, surviving mainly in two breeding areas (leks) and numbering some 40 to 50 birds.
The following action plan details a strategy for protecting 80% of the surviving chimpanzees in West Africa at a cost of US$9 million. The plan resulted from a recent workshop in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, where an international group of 72 biologists, protected areas managers, government officials, and other experts met to discuss priority actions for protecting chimpanzees in West Africa.
Conforme hábitats e ecossistemas se tornam cada vez mais alterados e as populações cada vez mais impactadas por atividades humanas, um número crescente de espécies irá exigir alguma forma de manejo de seus indivíduos e populações para garantir sua sobrevivência. O manejo ex situ é uma opção possivel, que pode contribuir para a conservação das espécies ameaçadas.
A medida que los hábitats y los ecosistemas se vuelvan cada vez más alterados, y las poblaciones se ven afectadas para siempre por actividades humanas, un número cada vez mayor de especies requerirá alguna forma de gestión, tanto de individuos como de poblaciones, para asegurar su supervivencia. La gestión ex situ es una opción posible que puede contribuir a la conservación de especies amenazadas.
Ce document est le fruit d'un consensus entre les agences de gestion forestière et de conservation de la faune au Nigeria et au Cameroun, des organisations non gouvernementales locales et internationales de conservation et des chercheurs affiliés à des universités, réunis lors d'ateliers organisés dans les deux pays pour formuler un ensemble d'actions, qui, si elle sont mises en place, pourraient amélior les chances de survie du chimpanzé du Nigeria-Cameroun.
This document represents the consensus of views from forestry and wildlife conservation agencies in Nigeria and Cameroon, local and international nongovernmental conservation organizations, and university-based researchers who met at a series of workshops in Cameroon and Nigeria to formulate a set of actions that, if implemented, will increase the long-term survival prospects of the Nigeria-Cameroon chimpanzee.
The action plan lays out a conservation strategy for gorillas and chimpanzees in Western Equatorial Africa. The Endangered central chimpanzee Pan troglodytes troglodytes and the Critically Endangered western lowland gorilla Gorilla gorilla gorilla are undergoing a dramatic decline due to poaching, disease and habitat loss, driven by demands for bushmeat, a lack of law enforcement, by corruption, and by increased access to their once-remote habitat -- like the recent expansion of ind
As the need increases for sound estimates of impending rates of animal and plant species extinction, scientists must have a firm grounding in the qualitative and quantitative methods required to make the best possible predictions. Extinction Rates offers the most wide-ranging and practical introduction to those methods available.
