Biodiversity conservation. CRC helped establish and/or strengthen community-based MPAs in Asia, Africa, and Latin America and designed and piloted a first-of-its-kind certification program for MPA Professionals (MPA PRO) in the Western Indian Ocean region endorsed by the IUCN World Commission on Protected Areas, International Ranger Federation, World Wildlife Fund, and Park Ranger Association of Africa. This competency-based approach will be applied to the SFMP to develop the capacity of fisheries law enforcement officers and FC field officers.
Biodiversity conservation. Since the main threats to the biodiversity of the St. Xxxxxxxx are habitat loss and fragmentation, the introduction of invasive alien species and the impact of climate change, the joint actions will focus on the following three orientations:
Biodiversity conservation. Habitat loss and alteration are the greatest threats to biodiversity. When a habitat is lost or altered for whatever reason, the species that depend on it eventually experience population reduction. Wetlands are a particularly sensitive habitat and are very important to both animals and plants, because they host many species through all or part of their life cycles and help purify water and regulate water levels. The marine biodiversity of the St. Xxxxxxxx also requires special attention, because the marine ecosystems are under constantly increasing pressure. Invasive alien animal and plant species are another major threat to biodiversity. They can cause a decline in native species and irreversibly upset the natural balance that existed before they were introduced. Climate change also disturbs the natural balance and may exacerbate threats to biodiversity, affecting both species and habitats. Biodiversity conservation involves the preservation, restoration and sustainable use of the natural environment, and promotes variability in ecological complexes, ecosystems, habitats and species of all origins, including inter- and intraspecific diversity.
Biodiversity conservation. We will conduct a general monitoring survey to ensure appropriate management of the natural forest, where red-listed plants grow naturally. Wood transport
