decision_makingThe RRH contributes to effective, equitable and sustainable management and governance of protected and conserved areas. The provision of data, information and guidance can enhance the protected area decision-making and planning at regional, national and site levels.

The Regional Observatories provide these services that allow planners and decision makers to access the most updated and comprehensive information on protected areas and natural resources management using the Reference Information Systems. The production of periodic status reports on biodiversity and other policy support materials, as well as the networking function of the Observatories benefit conservation planners and decision makers.

State of Protected Area Reports

The RRH is producing together with BIOPAMA team the State of Protected Areas in Eastern and Southern Area. The goal is to keep it as a regional periodic status reports on biodiversity and sustainable resources management . The information available is drawn from the Reference Information Systems and analysed to portray the state of protected areas in the region.
