GEO BON is delighted to announce at COP16 in Cali, Colombia a new partnership with the government of Guinea to support biodiversity monitoring and indicators to guide conservation planning and action.
This milestone agreement between Guinea’s Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development, GEO BON, Habitat, and UPA Développement International will formalize a collaboration that will support Guinea’s implementation of indicators to measure progress toward their national biodiversity strategy and action plan under the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KMGBF).
GEO BON will implement BON in a Box for Guinea and so provide indicators to assess the effectiveness of their expanding protected area network to protect biodiversity and support the livelihoods of local communities. This agreement will ensure the sustainability and transferability of the knowledge Guinea requires in the long-term.
