What is BIOPAMA
The Biodiversity and Protected Areas Management (BIOPAMA) Programme assists the African, Caribbean and Pacific countries to address their priorities for improved management and governance of biodiversity and natural resources. BIOPAMA provides a variety of tools, services and funding to conservation actors in the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries.
The Biodiversity and Protected Areas Management (BIOPAMA) Programme contributes to improving the long term conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity and natural resources in Africa, Caribbean and Pacific regions in protected areas and surrounding communities through better use and monitoring of information and capacity development on management and governance.
BIOPAMA is an initiative of the Africa, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States financed by the European Union’s 11th European Development Fund.
