Biodiversité

Our new landmark Forest Pathways report sets out the action we must take to bring our forests back to life.

Forests suck up one third of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions, are home to 80% of the world’s land-based animal and plant species, and provide livelihoods for 1.6 billion people. The need for us to protect forests is the basis for many international pledges and targets. Yet, deforestation and forest degradation have continued.

Area-based conservation, including protected areas and OECMs, is the primary approach used to address biodiversity decline and now covers 8% of the world’s oceans and 17% of its lands. As it is set to diversify and expand under the 30x30 target to protect30% of the planet by 2030, we take stock of the approach, including its history in global policy and performance. We outline three priority directions to ensure area-based
conservation contributes to securing a sustainable and just future.

Organisé par le CEDETE (université d’Orléans), l’université de Bambey (Sénégal) et le Groupe d’histoire des zones humides, en étroite collaboration avec la SNPN, le colloque examinera les situations, les expériences gestionnelles et les actions conduites dansles villes du Nord et des Suds pour affronter ce paradoxe fragilité croissante-utilité renforcée. Il part dupostulat que les solutions seront d’autant plus pertinentes qu’elles seront nourries d’un regard croisé entre les différentesaires culturelles et sociales

Remettre en cause l’idée que toute nature devrait être travaillée, c’est revenir sur un principe qui a guidé les activités humaines de très longue date.
