Promouvoir le bambou comme ressource alternative pour réduire les pressions anthropiques en vue d’une meilleure conservation des écosystèmes forestiers

Description

Le Bénin regorge de peuplement de bambou qui sont très peu valorisés. Il s'agit pour le Bénin de faire la promotion des bambous

Please outline the main policy measures or actions that will be taken to achieve this national target.

Les mesures à entreprendre sont les suivantes : Faire le monitoring des peuplements de bambou dans tout le Bénin pour connaitre leur état de conservation; Intégrer le bambou non traçant dans les zones tampons des forêts classées et les paysages agroforestiers afin de réduire la pression sur les forêts naturelles; Développer des filières durables (y compris les coopératives d'entrepreneurs, de communautaires, d'industries et d'investisseurs) du bambou créatrice d'emplois verts pour les jeunes et les femmes et Mettre en place des mécanismes de suivi, de recherche et de renforcement des capacités

Contribution to global Goals

GBF-G-A. Ecosystems are conserved, extinctions are halted and genetic diversity is maintained

GBF-G-B. Biodiversity is sustainably used and its contributions to people are maintained, enhanced or restored

Alignment with global targets

Global Targets	Degree of Alignment
GBF-T04. Threatened species are recovering, genetic diversity is being maintained and human-wildlife conflict is being managed GBF-T04. Threatened species are recovering, genetic diversity is being maintained and human-wildlife conflict is being managed Ensure urgent management actions to halt human induced extinction of known threatened species and for the recovery and conservation of species, in particular threatened species, to significantly reduce extinction risk, as well as to maintain and restore the genetic diversity within and between populations of native, wild and domesticated species to maintain their adaptive potential, including through in situ and ex situ conservation and sustainable management practices, and effectively manage human-wildlife interactions to minimize human-wildlife conflict for coexistence.

GBF-T09. Management of wild species is sustainable and benefits people GBF-T09. Management of wild species is sustainable and benefits people Ensure that the management and use of wild species are sustainable, thereby providing social, economic and environmental benefits for people, especially those in vulnerable situations and those most dependent on biodiversity, including through sustainable biodiversity-based activities, products and services that enhance biodiversity, and protecting and encouraging customary sustainable use by indigenous peoples and local communities.

Which of the “considerations for implementation” in Section C of the GBF have been taken into account in developing this national target, and the actions to implement it

Ecosystem approach

Science and innovation

Please explain how these considerations have been taken into account

Le bambou du Bénin attend d'être valorisé à travers une meilleure utilisation. Il a aussi besoin d'une recherche approfondie pour mieux connaitre les différentes espèces présentes au Bénin.

Explanation, including which aspects of the goal or target are covered

Les aspects de conservation génétique sont évoqués dans l'objectif formulé. Une gestion durable est importante aussi pour permettre aux populations de bénéficier de la biodiversité.
