Resumen
Descripción
In the Sahel Region of Africa, both migratory and resident waterbirds provide a valuable source of food and income for local communities. However, due to a variety of factors, the area covered by the main Sahelian Wetlands is shrinking. Habitat change and hunting impact waterbird populations and it is estimated that between 1960 and 2000 their numbers dropped by 40%. The RESSOURCE Project seeks to maintain the ecosystem services that the Sahelian Wetlands provide to communities by developing innovative approaches to sustainably manage and monitor waterbirds and their habitats.
This 3rd issue aims to inform donors and partners about the main highlights and activities in the countries.
The RESSOURCE Project is co-financed by the French Global Environment Facility (FFEM) and the European Union, is coordinated by FAO and is being implemented by technical partners in five participating countries.
