The global map shows total number of carcasses by MIKE site.
The regional and national tabs report aggregated statistics and the local tab shows the number of carcasses by protected areas involved in MIKE programme.
All MIKE sites but one overlap with protected areas included in the World Database of Protected Areas (UNEP-WCMC), either entirely or partly.
Check the Regional and National tabs for more details.
In the regional and national tabs, maps show the normalised average PIKE over the activity period for each protected area in MIKE programme and included in the selected region/s or country/ies.
In the local tab, the time series of annual PIKE is presented for each protected area in MIKE programme.
The commitment of countries in mainstreaming biodiversity into sectoral policies throughout their post-2010 NBSAPs has been reviewed for 144 countries that have submitted new NBSAPs (by October 2017), including 55 ACP member states (Whitehorn et al. 2019). Five criteria were assessed in order to obtain a qualitative national-level indicator for comparing levels of commitment among countries: 1. Which actors have been involved in the development of the NBSAP? (public, private, civil society, other) 2.
STATUS OF DEVELOPMENT OF NATIONAL BIODIVERSITY STRATEGIES AND ACTION PLANS OR EQUIVALENT INSTRUMENTS (NBSAPS)
The indicator is calculated as the average percentage of illegal killing in observed carcasses over the reporting period, normalized by yearly mean carcasses number (= total carcasses/years of reporting) to account for the different magnitude of carcass numbers found across sites.
A Transfrontier Conservation Area (TFCA) is defined as a component of a large ecological region that straddles the boundaries of two or more countries encompassing one or more protected areas as well as multiple resource use areas. TFCAs are founded with the aim of collaboratively managing shared natural and cultural resources across international boundaries for improved biodiversity conservation and socio-economic development.
The Global Soil Organic Carbon Map (GSOCmap) is not just a map! It is also a consultative and participatory process involving 110 countries, which makes this map totally new and unique!
The GSOCmap provides users with very useful information to monitor the soil condition, identify degraded areas, set restoration targets, explore SOC sequestration potentials, support the greenhouse gas emission reporting under the UNFCCC and make evidence-based decisions to mitigate and adapt to a changing climate.
How much potential impact may agriculture land use in a protected area have on the habitats, species and ecological processes therein? By identifying protected areas with low pressure from agriculture, it is possible to highlight locations that are likely to better conserve the ecosystems, species and ecological processes that are associated to more pristine conditions and that are more sensitive to the direct and indirect impacts from this form of human land use.
