Working with the Key Biodiversity Areas partnership, this project will accelerate 30x30 in the Congo Basin through the creation of new protected areas, improved management of protected areas, and partnership with Indigenous Peoples and local community groups.
Specific areas of focus include mapping biodiversity hotspots in the Congo Basin. This map would serve as an input to the broader maps developed by the World Conservation Monitoring Centre of United Nations Environment Program that give a baseline of protected areas against which progress can be monitored.
