APACT

Africa's systems of protected and conserved areas are the backbone of the natural infrastructure underpinning the development aspirations set out in Agenda 2063 - and integral to global goals for addressing climate change, biodiversity loss, and desertification... Unfortunately, the vast majority of Africa's over 8,600 protected and conserved areas are under-resourced, leaving them vulnerable to encroachment, conversion, and degradation.
