Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureNamibia champions sustainable and certified charcoal production for better Miombo-Mopane landscapes 2023
Also available in:
No results found.The Impact Program works across three eco-regions within drylands, namely: the Miombo-Mopane landscapes of Southern Africa, the Savannas of East and West Africa, and the Great steppes of Central Asia. The 11 countries involved will be working towards the achievement of land degradation neutrality through gender responsive sustainable forest and land management best practices and green value chains. This brochure presents the One Country, One Champion Approach in the Namibia. -
Book (series)Working paperValuing, restoring and managing “presumed drylands”: Cerrado, Miombo–Mopane woodlands and the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau 2022
Also available in:
No results found.The study "Valuing, restoring and managing presumed drylands: Cerrado, Miombo–Mopane woodlands and the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau" confirms the existence of 1 075 million hectares of presumed drylands that are under threat from unsustainable use and climate change. This is in addition to the 6.1 billion hectares of official drylands that already cover 41 percent of the planet’s land surface and are home to 2 billion people. All these areas contain high levels of biodiversity and are home to a large number of people reliant on agriculture to sustain their livelihoods, this is why it's so important to research, analyse and work to protect them. The report contains concrete information on the environmental and ecological value of these dryland areas, and key recommendations for actions to limit land degradation, sustain biodiversity and mitigate climate change. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical reportSafety at sea – Baseline survey report
Saint Lucia
2021Also available in:
No results found.This report summarizes the findings of a fisheries safety at sea baseline survey carried out in Saint Lucia. The baseline survey investigated the safety practices, attitudes and legislative understanding among a selected group of 100 fishers in Saint Lucia. The survey methodology was developed and managed by the FISH Safety Foundation and FAO. The survey was implemented in 2020 by the Department of Fisheries of Saint Lucia, FSF and FAO and the findings were disseminated and used for fishers’ safety training in 2021. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe number of forest- and tree-proximate people
A new methodology and global estimates
2022Also available in:
No results found.Mapping the spatial relationship between forests, trees and the people that live in and around them is key to understanding human-environment interactions. First, quantifying spatial relationships between humans and forests and trees outside forests can help decision-makers develop spatially explicit conservation and sustainable development indicators and policies to target priority areas. This study combined tree cover and human population density data to map the spatial relationship between forests, trees and people on a global scale providing estimates of the number of forest-proximate people and tree-proximate people for 2019. The methodology relies on spatial overlays that combine global-scale remotely sensed data on tree cover (as a proxy for forest cover) and gridded human population data to identify people that live in or close to forests and trees. Evidence on the number and spatial distribution of people living within or near forests and trees outside forests may, therefore, support decision-makers to 1) target projects in priority areas; 2) prioritize among alternative sites; 3) reduce the cost of achieving environmental or socio-economic objectives; 4) improve the effectiveness of monitoring, including by estimating the numbers of people who will be affected or have been affected as a result of an intervention, or affected by biophysical changes to forests (e.g. deforestation, fire or floods); and/or 5) more effectively and assuredly reaching target populations. -
