Biodiversity Analysis for Africa

Analyzing initiatives, strategies, and approaches for biodiversity conservation.

The Biodiversity Analysis for Africa (BAA) project was designed to advance biodiversity conservation and meet human needs by analyzing biodiversity conservation initiatives, strategies, and approaches. The first phase of the project resulted in the publication of African Biodiversity: Foundation for the Future (pub nos.1, 42). During the second phase, capacity-building grants were given to projects exploring key issues and innovative techniques involved in monitoring and evaluating biodiversity conservation efforts (summarized in Grant Abstracts, pub. no. 177). Participating countries included Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Congo, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ghana, Kenya, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Namibia, Nigeria, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
