MFE 203: GESTION DURABLE DES RESSOURCES NATURELLES

FORMATION IFED – Juillet 2024

L’accroissement de la population mondiale et la pression sur les ressources naturelles exacerbent les changements climatiques qui s’accompagnent avec de
nombreuses conséquences qui sont de plus en plus visibles telles que de violentes tempêtes, les inondations, les chaleurs et froids extrêmes, le changement des cycles et durée de pluies. Ceci entraine de nombreuses menaces notamment sur les capacités à assurer la sécurité alimentaire, d’éradiquer la pauvreté et d’atteindre le développement durable.

Par ailleurs les différents écosystèmes forestiers terrestres et aquatiques abritent la flore et la faune nécessaire pour nous préserver des impacts des changements climatiques, procurer un meilleur cadre de vie et l’habitat pour les êtres humains et les animaux, procurer les aliments et de nombreux autres services écosystémiques.  Cette diversité floristique et faunique extraordinaire est extrêmement menacée par des actions humaines notamment la déforestation, l’exploitation abusive, le trafic illégal d’espaces fauniques causant ou menaçant l’extension des espèces sauvages.

Cette situation est d’autant préoccupante car les populations les plus vulnérables notamment les jeunes et les femmes des milieux ruraux ont une forte dépendance vis-à-vis des ressources forestières, en particulier des produits forestiers non ligneux (PFNL), pour leur subsistance et leur revenu.
Cette formation internationale sur a gestion durable des ressources naturelles va permettre aux experts de renforcer les capacités. La formation sera articulée autour des points suivants :

❖ Ressources naturelles
Bien comprendre les enjeux, opportunités et défis pour mieux accompagner le développement de la société
❖ Écosystèmes forestiers et fauniques
Importance, distribution et contribution pour l’atténuation des changements climatiques ;
❖ Inventaires et modélisation de la gestion des ressources naturelles
❖ Gestion et transformation des déchets
❖ Gestion minière et impacts sur l’environnement
❖ Écocitoyenneté et développement local
❖ Sorties
• Expérience du Canada sur la gestion des ressources naturelles

Date : 08 au 13 juillet 2024
Frais de participation : 1000 usd (logement inclus pour les 10 premiers inscrits)
Lieu de formation : Kingston, Canada
Date de paiement frais d’inscription : 16 mars 2024

Chaque participant recevra une copie du nouveau livre ‘Gestion durable des ressources naturelles et des écosystèmes forestiers’ et une trousse de formation.
