Elevated fires during COVID-19 lockdown and the vulnerability of protected areas
No full textThere is little robust, quantitative information on the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the extinction crisis. Focusing on Madagascar, one of the world’s most threatened biodiversity hotspots, we explore whether the cessation of on-site protected-area management activities due to the pandemic were associated with increased burning inside protected areas. We identify monthly excess fire anomalies by comparing observed fires with those predicted on the basis of historical and contemporary fire and weather data for all of Madagascar’s protected areas for every month 2012–2020. Through to 2019, excess fire anomalies in protected areas were few, short in duration and, in some years, coincident with social disruption linked to national elections. By contrast, in 2020, COVID-19 meant on-site management of Madagascar’s protected areas was suspended from March to July. This period was associated with 76–248% more fires than predicted, after which burning returned to normal. At a time when international biodiversity conservation faces unprecedented challenges, our results highlight the importance of on-site management for maintaining protected-area integrity
Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN) : quarterly MEL report - 1 September 2021-31 March 2022
No full textThe CDKN Knowledge Accelerator Programme aims to create an enabling environment for implementation of gender responsive and socially equitable climate actions that enhance the quality of life for the poorest and most vulnerable to climate change. To achieve this, the project has three medium-term objectives: increasing accessibility and relevance of knowledge on climate and development, maximizing the uptake of this knowledge, and enhancing leadership and collaboration. This report will capture the reflections on learning and gender and social equity in the programme and the progress to achieving the targets set out in the KPI framework.Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherland
