International Biodiversity Day 2022 – BIOPAMA Webinar / Journée internationale de la biodiversité 2022 – Webinaire de BIOPAMA
Le Secrétariat de la Convention sur la diversité biologique (CDB) a annoncé le slogan de la Journée de la biodiversité 2022 : » Construire un avenir partagé pour toute forme de vie » (Building a shared future for all life). Ce slogan a été choisi pour continuer à créer un élan et un soutien en faveur du cadre mondial pour la biodiversité post-2020 qui sera adopté lors de la prochaine Conférence des Nations Unies sur la biodiversité. Le programme BIOPAMA dont l’objectif est d’améliorer la conservation à long terme et l’utilisation durable des ressources naturelles dans les aires protégées et les communautés avoisinantes, souhaite saisir cette occasion pour partager les résultats clés obtenus après 5 ans d’implémentation. Il s’agira de présenter un résultat spécifique qui est la mise en place en Afrique de l’Ouest et le renforcement en Afrique Centrale d’observatoires régionaux pour la biodiversité. Ces observatoires sont des outils qui renseignent sur l’état de la biodiversité dans les aires protégées et conservées, mais aussi en dehors de ces espaces afin que des données fiables et pertinentes soient au coeur des prises de décision aux niveaux local, national et régional. Ils aident également à renseigner sur la portée des stratégies et politiques de gestion de la conservation tout en facilitant la rencontre entre les différents acteurs. Le programme BIOPAMA organise un événement public en ligne dans le but de présenter les principales fonctionalités de cet outil aux décideurs, journalistes, bailleurs actuels et futurs, universitaires, organisations de la société civile et d’autres acteurs des secteurs de la conservation et du développement.

The slogan was chosen to continue to build momentum and support for the post-2020 global biodiversity framework to be adopted at the upcoming UN Conference on Biodiversity. The BIOPAMA programme, which aims to improve the long-term conservation and sustainable use of natural resources in protected areas and surrounding communities, would like to take this opportunity to share key results achieved after 5 years of implementation. One specific result will be the establishment in West Africa and the strengthening in Central Africa of regional observatories for biodiversity. These observatories are tools that provide information on the state of biodiversity in protected and conserved areas, but also outside these areas so that reliable and relevant data are at the heart of decision-making at local, national and regional levels. They also help to inform the scope of conservation management strategies and policies and facilitate the meeting of different stakeholders. The BIOPAMA programme is organising a public online event to present the main features of …

Inaugural meeting of the BIOPAMA Latin America and Caribbean METT Support Network
The Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool (METT) is used widely throughout the Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) region for assessing Protected Area Management Effectiveness (PAME); and representatives of protected area agencies from Antigua and Barbuda, Peru, Ecuador, Venezuela, Saint Lucia, Guyana, Belize, Jamaica, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines confirmed interest in connecting in order to share experiences and learn from each other. To that extent on April 20th 2022, the BIOPAMA Caribbean team organised an inaugural event to establish the LAC METT implementation support network aimed at supporting colleagues in biodiversity conservation in implementing and applying the METT Tool and recommendations from assessments. Forty-two (42) individuals from over thirty (30) government and non-governmental organisations attended the session. Hyacinth Armstrong Vaughn, Regional Coordinator for the BIOPAMA Caribbean programme at IUCN indicated that the initiative emerged from conversations around METT tool implementation and the METT exchange hosted by the National Service of Natural Areas Protected by the State (SERNANP) in January 2022. This meeting built on momentum from regional discussions on the post 2020 global biodiversity framework and negotiations of the 2030 targets as countries work towards improved management effectiveness. Jose Courrau, Thematic Expert at IUCN presented on the history of the METT Tool, explaining that based on the Global Database on Protected Area Management Effectiveness (GD-PAME) over 500 METT assessments have been conducted in the LAC region. Justin Springer, Technical Assistant at IUCN shared the Terms of Reference for the network stating that the network aims to provide a forum for METT users and practitioners to share experiences on the METT, provide access to technical support on METT implementation, and offer capacity development on best practices for successful METT implementation. Next steps include the establishment of a Facebook group that will facilitate peer-to-peer engagement and information sharing. The proposed group activities will include but are not limited to capacity building and training opportunities. Persons interested in joining the network that did not register for or participate in the information session can contact the BIOPAMA Programme personnel at Hyacinth.ARMSTRONGVAUGHN@iucn.org, Jose.COURRAU@iucn.org, and Justin.Springer@iucn.org for more details.
