Déscription
UNEP WCMC was established in 2000 as the world biodiversity information and assessment centre of UNEP. The UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Centre provides information for policy and action to conserve the living world.
The Centre’s main activities include:
- Assessment and analysis of global biodiversity to identify trends and emerging threats in support of international cooperation and action
- Support for policy and agreements at national, regional and international levels to promote biodiversity conservation and sustainable management
- Providing expertise, tools, techniques and information for public awareness, education, capacity-building and cooperation
- Knowledge management to enable easy access to wide-ranging information and analytical services.
Projets
1. Commercialisation of Non Timber Forest Products in Mexico and Bolivia: Factors Influencing Success (CEPFOR): The purpose of this project is to evaluate the contribution that NTFPs make to the livelihoods of forest dependent rural poor in developing countries (http://quin.unep-wcmc.org/forest/NTFP).
2. UNEP Coral Reef Unit: The UNEP Coral Reef Unit, one of the biodiversity-related programmes hosted by UNEP WCMC, was established in 2000 as the focal point within UNEP and the UN system to promote policies and actions to protect coral reefs.
3. ICRAN: The International Coral Reef Action Network (ICRAN) is a collaborative effort designed to reverse the decline of the world’s coral reefs. Supported by the United Nations Foundation (UNF), ICRAN consists of a set of inter-linked, complementary activities that will facilitate the proliferation of good practices for coral reef management and conservation (www.icran.org).
