Quick Facts In Central African Republic, 46 thousand people were living on degrading agricultural land in 2010 - an increase of 16% in a decade, bringing the share of rural residents who inhabit degraded agricultural land up to 2% of the total rural population. Land degradation can severely influence populations' livelihood by restricting people from vital ecosystem services (including food and water), increasing the risk of poverty.

    AFRICAN LEADERSHIP COMMITMENT TO SUPPORT FOREST LANDSCAPE RESTORATION Kigali Declaration Kigali Declaration African Leadership Commitment Kigali Declaration Kigali Declaration on Forest Landscape Restoration in Africa We, Ministers of African countries and representatives gathered in Kigali on July 26th and 27th, 2016 for the Africa High Level Bonn Challenge Roundtable, hosted by the Government of Rwanda, in collaboration with the East Africa Community and the International Union for Conservation of Nature Acknowledging that african countries are among the most affected regions in the world by effects of climate change even though the continent bears a minimal responsibility with regards to the causes of this global phenomenon; Recognising that forest landscape restoration has an important role in the pursuit of sustainable development in African countries, by maintaining and rebuilding countries’ natural capital in order to deliver essential societal and economic benefits to rural and urban communities alike; Recognising that forest landscape restoration is an effective mechanism to operationalize key elements of global processes, notably the Sustainable Development Goals, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Aichi Targets, and the United Nations Convention on Combating Desertification; Aware that forest landscape restoration offers multiple benefits that align directly with African Nations economic growth and poverty reduction plans.

  • Pan-African Action Agenda on Ecosystem Restoration for Increased Resilience
    Pan-African Action Agenda on Ecosystem Restoration for Increased Resilience 1. Background Terrestrial and marine ecosystems and their biodiversity underpin economic growth, sustainable development and human wellbeing in Africa. However, many ecosystems in the region are facing severe degradation leading to the decline or loss in biodiversity and the impairment or disruption of ecosystem functions and services, thus threatening Africa’s ability to realize the African Union Agenda 2063 goals and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its Sustainable Development Goals. Land and ecosystem degradation affect human livelihoods, the cultural identity and traditional knowledge of communities and the productive capacity of African economies as underlined in recent reports by the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES). Direct causes of land and ecosystem degradation in the region include conversion of forests, rangelands, wetlands and other natural areas for food production and urban development among other land use changes. Land and ecosystem degradation is also accelerated by climate change, rapid population growth, unplanned urbanization, infrastructure and industrial development, pollution and waste and an increased demand for services (including water, food and energy supply).1 The recent IPBES regional assessment of biodiversity and ecosystem services for Africa (IPBES, 2018) noted that investing in avoiding land and ecosystem degradation and in restoration activities makes sound economic sense. While the cost of land degradation has reached about US$ 490 billion per year globally, this is much higher than the cost of action to prevent it (UNCCD 2013, De Groot et al 2013). The benefits, including the prevention of species loss and extinction, maintenance of key ecosystem services and of bio- cultural identities, contribute to enhancing resilience.
