THEME – 5 Climate change, agro-biodiversity and food security in West Africa
This document summarizes a presentation on climate change, agro-biodiversity, and food security in West Africa. It discusses the environmental challenges facing the region, including decreasing rainfall and increasing temperatures from south to north. It outlines the potential impacts of climate change on biodiversity, such as species loss and reduced crop yields. Two climate change scenarios for 2050 are presented based on different climate models, both showing declining rainfall along coastal areas and potential yield increases or decreases depending on the crop and location. The presentation concludes with an overview of agricultural research in the region conducted by CORAF/WECARD to promote sub-regional cooperation and solve common agricultural problems through research programs focused on key sub-sectors and cross-cutting issues like
PPT OF BIODIVERSITY
This document provides an overview of biodiversity, including its definition, types, distribution, benefits, threats, and conservation. It discusses how biodiversity represents the variety of life on Earth and is vital to sustaining human life. The three types of biodiversity are genetic diversity, species diversity, and ecosystem diversity. While biodiversity is threatened by habitat loss and other human impacts, conservation efforts aim to protect biodiversity through protected areas, restoration, and environmental policies.
Study: The Future of VR, AR and Self-Driving Cars
We asked LinkedIn members worldwide about their levels of interest in the latest wave of technology: whether they’re using wearables, and whether they intend to buy self-driving cars and VR headsets as they become available. We asked them too about their attitudes to technology and to the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the devices that they use. The answers were fascinating – and in many cases, surprising.
This SlideShare explores the full results of this study, including detailed market-by-market breakdowns of intention levels for each technology – and how attitudes change with age, location and seniority level. If you’re marketing a tech brand – or planning to use VR and wearables to reach a professional audience – then these are insights you won’t want to miss.
Role of international forestry organizations
The document discusses the roles of various international forestry organizations in promoting sustainable forest management and conservation. Some key organizations mentioned include the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), which works to conserve forests and advocates zero net deforestation; Community Forestry International (CFI), which supports community-based forest management; Friends of the Earth International (FoEI), which works with local communities on forest conservation; the Global Environment Facility (GEF), which funds forest conservation projects; the International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO), which promotes forest science; and the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), which certifies sustainably managed forests. Many of these organizations aim to reduce deforestation and forest degradation

A personal take on forest landscapes restoration in Africa
Presented by Robert Nasi, Director General of Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) at the Global Landscapes Forum Nairobi 2018, on 29 August in Nairobi, Kenya
Wwf pr450pptpresentation
The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) is an international conservation organization whose mission is to conserve nature and ensure human needs are met in harmony with the environment. By 2020, WWF aims to conserve 19 of the world's most important natural places and influence global markets to protect nature. WWF works in over 100 countries on projects like ecosystem services, sustainable resource use, and pollution reduction. In response to the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill, WWF is monitoring the situation, offering assistance to local partners, and encouraging donations to support cleanup and wildlife rehabilitation efforts.
Forests
Forests cover one-third of the Earth, provide three-fourths of freshwater, and are home to over half of the world's plant and animal species. Approximately 1.6 billion people rely on forests for their livelihoods. However, 13 million hectares of forest are destroyed annually, reducing biodiversity and exacerbating climate change. Forests play a vital role in regulating climate, supporting livelihoods, and maintaining ecological balance, yet they face serious threats from deforestation, urbanization, and unsustainable agricultural practices.
How to get involved in wildlife conservation
Wildlife conservation organizations provide many opportunities for people to get involved from a local to global level. Locally, people can volunteer with organizations like Wildlife Trusts and RSPB, create wildlife gardens, join conservation groups focused on specific species, and participate in community conservation projects. Globally, people can support large NGOs focused on issues like rainforest protection, ocean conservation, and ending illegal wildlife trade through donations, advocacy, and volunteer opportunities.
Deforestation: Environmental Problems
What is deforestation? Details on historical background, areas of concern,effects on the environment and ecological community, ongoing conservation efforts, possible solutions, and much more, with pictures.
Présentation ONG en anglais R MEYER mars2016
L'Homme et l'Environnement was established in Madagascar in 1994 by a world crocodile expert to address the damage caused by deforestation and preserve biodiversity. It coordinates conservation, reforestation, research on medicinal plants, improved agricultural techniques, and environmental education. The NGO works with local communities on seven sites to improve living conditions while preserving the environment. It manages two natural reserves under a 10-year contract to control illegal logging and demonstrate how enhancing natural resources can benefit communities and protect habitats.
Director General's report to the 53rd BOT Meeting
The document discusses the history and future of agroforestry research. It describes how agroforestry was initially studied in the 1970s and championed by organizations like ICRAF. It notes ongoing threats of agroforestry being marginalized within forestry and agriculture. However, it presents the concept of "Evergreen Agriculture" as a way to position agroforestry centrally in reinventing agriculture for climate change mitigation and adaptation. Examples of Evergreen Agriculture projects and opportunities for further research are provided.
Wildlife in india
This document discusses wildlife conservation in India. It notes that India is home to significant biodiversity and many threatened species. National parks and wildlife sanctuaries aim to preserve this wildlife, while the Wildlife Protection Act of 1972 and Project Tiger provide legal protections. However, habitat loss and fragmentation from human activities like deforestation, grazing, and infrastructure development threaten Indian wildlife. Increased awareness and community involvement are important for effective long-term conservation.
Madagascar_lhh
Madagascar is home to many unique species found nowhere else, but deforestation through slash-and-burn agriculture is reducing habitat and threatening biodiversity. While ecotourism could boost the economy and fund conservation, concerns include resistance from Malagasy and increased disease. Alternative proposals include creating more nature reserves paid for by research institutions, allotting land ownership to encourage stewardship, and improving agriculture, education, and employment opportunities to reduce population pressures on the environment. Successful long-term conservation requires addressing both environmental and economic issues through collaborative approaches that respect Malagasy culture.
The Impact of Population Growth on Natural Forests in Rwanda
Deforestation is a growing problem in many parts of the tropical world and one of the affected countries is Rwanda. The general objective of this study is to assess the effect of population growth on natural forest resource in Rwanda in general. Thus, this research focused on assessing the impact of population growth on natural forest of Rwanda. It critically examines how the population growth can impact natural forest. To achieve the set objectives, a cross sectional research design was combined with qualitative and quantitative approach. We collected secondary data from National Statistics Institute of Rwanda (NSIR), Ministry of Environment (MOE), Rwanda Environmental Management Authority (REMA), etc. The study adopted descriptive approaches in processing data. The findings show that above 45.27% of natural forests have been lost from 1984 to 2015 due to the high rate of population growth in Rwanda. As a recommendation, faced with a dense and rapidly increasing population on a fragile land resource, Rwanda must take steps towards transforming the economy and eliminating poverty through a Green Growth program. Family planning must be also adopted in reducing the impact of population growth on natural forestry preservation.
GESG Press Kit 2014
The Grupo Ecológico Sierra Gorda I.A.P (GESG) was founded in 1987 in response to deforestation in the Sierra Gorda region of Mexico. Through environmental education and community projects, GESG engaged over 600 communities in conservation efforts. By 1997, one third of the state of Queretaro was protected as the Sierra Gorda Biosphere Reserve, the first protected area established through grassroots organizing. Today, GESG leads alliances to support education, restoration, sustainable development, and ecotourism that benefits local communities in the biodiverse Sierra Gorda region.
Edouard-UNREDD-2013-Tenure-Governance-Mesoamerica
This document analyzes REDD+ and other forestry incentive programs in Mesoamerican countries and their potential interaction with recognition of indigenous land rights. It discusses forest resources and indigenous populations in Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Panama. It also examines natural resource management systems of indigenous groups, advances in recognizing indigenous territorial rights and environmental policies, lessons from community forestry initiatives and payments for environmental services programs, and opportunities and limitations for REDD+ processes in indigenous territories in the region.

1) Conserving and planting trees may be our only hope to save the planet from the impacts of climate change according to an expert.
2) Many environmental problems are worsening due to issues like air pollution, deforestation, biodiversity loss, and soil degradation caused by factors like industrialization and unsustainable development practices.
3) Increasing tree cover and restoring forests can help absorb greenhouse gas emissions, reduce disasters, and provide valuable ecosystem services that support livelihoods and biodiversity. Commitments made under international agreements and national plans need local implementation through green initiatives across all sectors of society.
Madagascar
The document provides a lesson plan on Madagascar that includes pre-reading, reading, and post-reading activities. The pre-reading activities involve a discussion about Madagascar's climate, population size, crops, and the movie "Madagascar." Students then take a multiple choice quiz to test their guesses. They will listen to the teacher read a short text on Madagascar to check their answers. The reading activities involve cloze exercises and comprehension questions about passages discussing how the movie "Madagascar" could increase tourism and help conserve forests. Post-reading activities include vocabulary work, an opinion discussion, and researching Madagascar.
Wildlifeinindia
Wildlife conservation in India is important because India is home to a high percentage of the world's biodiversity. However, human activities like exploitation of land and forests have led to the extinction of many species. Conservation efforts aim to preserve threatened species and their habitats through protected areas like tiger reserves and by raising awareness of the importance of wildlife. Community involvement is key to promoting tolerance for wildlife and sustainable practices.
ESD
Human activities like deforestation, pollution, and expanding cities threaten global biodiversity. Deforestation removes habitat and species face extinction as forests hold most of Earth's species diversity. In Malaysia, oil palm plantations expanded by clearing forests, reducing habitat and unique species. Deforestation in Madagascar eliminated habitat rapidly and its unique species cannot be found elsewhere, showing how human impacts can drive species extinction.
Esd 14
Deforestation is a major threat to global biodiversity. In Madagascar, the rapid deforestation of rainforests due to population growth, cattle ranching, and mining has devastated endemic wildlife, eradicating many species found nowhere else. Similarly, in Malaysia deforestation for palm oil and timber plantations, occurring at one of the highest rates globally, is destroying peatland forests and endangered species' habitats. Deforestation disrupts nutrient cycling, removes tree cover critical for many species, and causes soil erosion and genetic diversity loss, threatening biodiversity. Strong government protection and alternative economic models are needed to curb deforestation and conserve ecosystems in biodiversity hotspots.

This study was conducted to assess population structure and threat to the sustainable management of woody species in the various ago-ecosystems in Dutsin-Ma Local Government Area (LGA) Katsina State, Nigeria. Purposive and stratified random sampling techniques were used to collect data from 21 randomly demarcated 100m × 100m sample plots. All woody plant species found in the sample plots with stem diameter >2 cm at 20cm above ground, were recorded. Population structure was summarized by diameter classes. For the identification of threats, field and questionnaire surveys were used. A total of 50 questionnaires were distributed at ten questionnaires per ward in five out of the 11 wards in the LGA. The highest numbers (350) of small diameter trees (0.1-1.0cm) were recorded in the agrosilvopastoral system. This was followed by silvopastoral and agrisilviculture systems with 89 and 85, respectively. However, the highest number of large diameter woody tree species was recorded in the silvopastoral system followed by agrosilvopastoral and agrisilviculture systems. The regular reverse J-shaped and fairly regular reverse J-shaped size class distribution observed for agrosilvopastoral and silvopastoral respectively, suggest a recuperating population. Over exploitation, debarking, de-branching, root- digging, leaf harvesting, seed harvesting, poor regeneration, slow rate of growth, wind effect and bush burning were the major threats to sustainable management of woody plant species in the study area. The implications of our findings for sustainable management of woody plant species in the study area are discussed and recommendations made.

Madagascar intro karen freudenberger - slash and burn
- 1. USAID’s Environmental Program in MadagascarA 25 year Retrospective Karen Freudenberger A presentation to the Africa Biodiversity Collaborative Group 20 July 2010
- 11. A hectare of forest lost in Madagascar has a greater negative impact on global biodiversity than a hectare of forest lost virtually anywhere else on earth. U.S. Forest Service
- 12. From 1975 to 1985, Madagascar’s forests were cut at a rate of ~ 400,000 ha per year. In 1984 USAID opened its mission in Madagascar and launched a prolonged and strategic effort to protect Madagascar’s vanishing biodiversity and the forest resources on which that biodiversity depends.
- 14. In spite of efforts by USAID and other donors, since 1990, Madagascar ... and the world ... have lost nearly two million priceless forest hectares. Just 15 years ago, Madagascar had 11 million ha of forest and 11 million people. Today, she has about 9 million ha of forest and 20 million people.
- 15. I am no objective reporter, no outsider throwing stones at those doing battle in the ring. Like many of you, I was an engaged participant in the programs described here. My observations and critiques come with no hint of omniscience ... only with sadness at the limits of our determined efforts. Let us together step back to assess our collective accomplishments and shortcomings and to consider what these imply for future interventions in Madagascar ... and for the environment and people we hold dear.
- 16. from her 2010 album Zebu Nation by Razia Said “Slash and Burn”
Editor's Notes
- I was a participant in this process; this is not a case of an outsider throwing stones at those doing battle in the ring. These critiques are spoken with no hint of arrogance or superiority, but only sadness at the limits of our collective and in some cases truly heroic efforts.
