FORWARDThe protection of natural resources and conservation of biological diversity formed the key focus of a National Action Plan for Guinea's Environment which was adopted in September 1994. In fact, Guinea has participated in all the phases of negotiation regarding the Convention for biological diversity, before signing it in 1992 and ratifying it in 1993. Thus, Guinea, being involved in the formation of the Convention and being a party to the contract, has been a recipient of GEF a national commission made up of representatives from the public and private sector working for the conservation and sustainable development of biological resources, and for the equitable distribution of benefits to participants. To set up the strategy and action plans, the Ministry of the Environment set up a consultation group entitled "Unité Nationale pour la Diversité Biologique (UNBio)” which is a national commission that is a multinational and multidisciplinary comprised of representatives from the public and private sector, an NGO (Non Government Organization) to oversee the distribution of funds and to focus on the conservation and development of biological diversity. The preparation for a plan of action started with the development of a monograph document for the national review of biological diversity. This was prepared with the following information:
This information was gathered by:
The analysis of their information resulted in the proposition for a national strategy for Guinea, the goal for biological diversity by 2015, and the uses and sharing of biological benefits toward the welfare of future generations. Workshops in Conakry and in the four largest national regions of the country put together fifty recommendations allowing debate and amendments that used their expertise. All of these various reports have been studied and grouped in order to produce a good vision of the objectives. The final report was sent to the national workshop in Labé, who adopted it with the following recommendations: 1 - Conservation of land and water ecosystems and their biological diversity. Create and develop protected areas representative of the diverse ecosystems for biological diversity of land and water; Encourage participation in the conservation and use of similar systems outside of the protected areas; Reinforce human capabilities and natural assistance for the conservation and use of biological diversity; Reinforce local, regional and international cooperation for the conservation of all ecosystems related to biological diversity.
Fill the judicial void concerning access to the biological resources and the equitable sharing of revenues for development; Clearly outline the responsibilities for all levels of management and their access to revenues for developing biological diversity;
Develop researchers in many disciplines and many sectors for better understanding of the potential of biological diversity from different ecosystems; Inform and sensitize all participants on the actual state of the degeneration of ecosystems and the grave consequences of their loss; Identify and promote all possible steps to sustain ecosystems of biological diversity for long-lasting use by future generations. 4 - Reinforcement of legal institutions. Revise and harmonize existing legal language and acts that impact on the sustaining and protection of ecosystems for biological diversity; Create a system for information, education and communication for everyone concerned with the use of ecosystems for biological diversity; Assess the availability and use of human resources. These recommendations served as a guide for the national strategy and the action plans for the conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity contained in this document.
