Description:
The main objective is the preparation of the
National Strategy and Action Plan for Biodiversity, as well as the

pressures on biodiversity, priorities for conservation, and actions
required to ensure the conservation of biodiversity.

- Conduction of two national workshops to discuss and gather opinions;
- Conduction of several regional workshops to present the thematic studies and gather input;
- Collection of additional information through sectoral meetings
and the establishment of partnerships with institutions involved in
biodiversity conservation and management issues;
- Activities of public consultation and dissemination of project information.
Target Area:
The project’s target area is the Angolan national
territory, with emphasis on the areas with higher biodiversity
including protected areas.
