Upcoming activities
• National workshops on linking climate and climatic variability to the health of particular species populations, in Francophone countries
• Regional consultant to consolidate national studies on the links between PAs, climate change and communities
• Integrated vulnerability assessments for the region detailing which PAs are most likely to be impacted by climate change, including a regional map of the PA network vulnerability, and a range of national maps
