Happy World Wetlands Day 2024!

2 February 2024

To celebrate this year’s World Wetlands Day, we are glad to launch our latest 3D virtual photographic exhibition update with a room exclusively dedicated to the RESSOURCE Project’s work in the wetlands of the Senegal River delta. 

Wetlands are critically important ecosystems that contribute to biodiversity, climate mitigation and adaptation, freshwater availability, world economies and more. The theme for 2024 is ''Wetlands and human wellbeing'', which recognizes wetlands as critical to people and nature, underscoring the intrinsic value of wetland ecosystems and their benefits and services, including contributions to sustainable development and human wellbeing.

The RESSOURCE Project, has been working in Senegal, Mali, Chad, Sudan and Egypt to improve the sustainable use of the ecosystem services and the resources that the Sahelian wetlands provide, in particular waterbirds, for the many rural communities that depend on them.

Learn more by visiting the 3D exhibition here: https://www.swm-programme.info/virtual-exhibition

Happy World Wetlands Day to all!

À l’occasion de la Journée mondiale des zones humides nous sommes heureux de vous présenter notre dernière exposition photographique virtuelle en 3D avec une salle exclusivement dédiée au travail du Projet RESSOURCE dans les zones humides du delta du fleuve Sénégal.

Les zones humides sont des écosystèmes d'importance critique qui contribuent à la biodiversité, à l'atténuation du changement climatique et à l'adaptation à celui-ci, à la disponibilité de l'eau douce, aux économies mondiales et à bien d'autres choses encore. Le thème de 2024 est «Zones humides et bien-être humain», qui reconnaît que les zones humides sont essentielles pour l'homme et la nature, soulignant la valeur intrinsèque des écosystèmes des zones humides et leurs avantages et services, y compris les contributions au développement durable et au bien-être humain.

Jusq'à présent, le travaille du Projet RESSOURCE au Sénégal, au Mali, au Tchad, au Soudan et en Égypte a contribué  à améliorer l'utilisation durable des services écosystémiques et des ressources que les zones humides du Sahel fournissent, en particulier les oiseaux d'eau, pour les nombreuses communautés rurales qui en dépendent.

Bonne Journée mondiale des zones humides à tous!

New Publication out!

26 January 2024

We are happy to share with you a recently published scientific paper focusing on the ecology of river turtles in Guyana.

''Approximately 61% of all turtle species are threatened with extinction or already extinct (Lovich et al., 2018), and freshwater turtles are one of the most threatened vertebrate taxa (Gibbons et al., 2000). Therefore, understanding the condition of success of nest protection and hatching is essential to promote a turtle population increase. In the Rupununi region, the local community of Yupukari and Caiman house, have been pioneering the first river turtle conservation program in Guyana. This program includes in-situ and ex-situ conservation actions, focusing on the eggs and hatchlings' stages of development in 9 sand beaches in the North part of Rupununi River.''

The article clearly explains the challenge of low-income rural countries and regions in coping with food insecurity and the sustainable use of wildlife resources.

How can we strike a balance between conservation and the well-being of local populations?

Insights from the Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme were shared highlighting the importance of developing a deep understanding of what’s happening in each ecosystem, community, and country.
