L’offre de données, d’informations et d’orientations peut améliorer la prise de décision et la planification relative aux aires protégées au niveau régional, national et du site. Les Observatoires régionaux fournissent précisément les services qui permettent aux planificateurs et aux décideurs d’accéder à l’information la plus exhaustive et à jour sur les aires protégées et la gestion des ressources naturelles, grâce aux Systèmes d’informations de référence. La production de rapports périodiques sur l’état de la biodiversité et d’autre matériel en soutien, ainsi que la fonction de réseau des Observatoires, bénéficient aux planificateurs et aux décideurs du domaine de la conservation.

State of Protected Area Reports

BIOPAMA will produce periodic status reports on biodiversity and sustainable resources management. The information available in these publications is drawn from the Reference Information Systems and analysed to portray the state of protected areas in African, Caribbean and Pacific regions. These publications are tools to guide decision making and investments in protected areas management and governance.

Policy briefs, publications and infographics

The knowledge generated through the use of the BIOPAMA tools and services is presented in different formats that support planning and decision making and the capacity development endeavours of the BIOPAMA programme. They include case studies (PANORAMA), situation analysis, country and protected area reports, technical briefs and other guiding publications.

In the first phase of the BIOPAMA programme (2011-2017), several publications targeting directly decision makers at all levels were developed. BIOPAMA also contributed to the production of international reports, such as “Protected Planet”.

Networking

BIOPAMA endeavours to connect with the regional, national and local actors and ensure the programme addresses needs and gaps, wherever identified. The format of those engagements is diverse, from roundtables and trainings to effective bilateral relations and participation in relevant fora. BIOPAMA aims at organizing regular roundtable dialogues to share with decision makers and the wider conservation and donor community the policy and planning recommendations resulted from the use of BIOPAMA tools.
