class=\"title-3\">Under-funding for West African protected areas<\/h2>\n<p>Even though the number of protected areas in West Africa is increasing, there are still not enough funds available to meet their management requirements. The lack of a true plan for funding protected areas and the lack of efficient techniques and resources to assist in the implementation and oversight of existing mechanisms are two of the main causes of this underfunding. <\/p>\n<p>Protected areas cannot accomplish their goals of preserving biodiversity and upholding the ecosystem services that support the welfare of the local populations without sufficient funding. Protected areas must be incorporated into long-term planning and funding plans in order to be managed successfully. <\/p>\n<p>There is a lack aggregated information regarding the funding deficit for protected areas in West Africa. Since they receive funding from a variety of sources, it is challenging to obtain a comprehensive picture of the situation.

Through two to three-day training sessions in each of the following countries, BlueSeeds and Baastel assisted the managers of 37 protected areas in West Africa in creating their business plans: in The Gambia, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Mauritania, and Senegal. <\/p>\n<p>To ensure realistic management and development of protected areas, we assisted them in planning medium- and long-term financial requirements, identifying current funding sources, and combining the financial data available for each protected area.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"ep-section-eql-height elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-8a30e3f elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-min-height elementor-section-content-middle elementor-reverse-tablet elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-items-middle\" bdt-height-match=\"target: .ep-section-eql-height .elementor-widget-wrap\" data-id=\"8a30e3f\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-64c1084\" data-id=\"64c1084\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-18b393e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"18b393e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"subtitle\">Our achievements<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"title-3\">Assessing the financing gap of conservation in West Africa<\/h2>\n<p>The business plans of the 37 protected areas in question were combined by BlueSeeds and Baastel. This made it possible for us to evaluate the total amount of money lacking for West African marine conservation. This study is the most thorough on the region&#8217;s protected areas&#8217; financial requirements to date. Through this work, the RAMPAO will be able to establish a regional funding strategy for marine conservation in West Africa in addition to adopting pertinent and suited funding guidelines for MPA managers at the local level.   <\/p>\n\n<p>An estimated 6 million euros will be needed to close the funding gap in order to accomplish the conservation goals outlined in the management and development plans for the protected areas in the RAMPAO network between 2022 and 2030. The need to establish new MPAs in order to achieve the 2030 targets of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, which was signed in 2022, is not included in this estimate.
