Beitrag zum sinnvollen Management von Ramsar-Gebieten in der Republik Guinea

The aim of this study is to contribute to the rational management of the Ramsar sites in the Republic of Guinea, particularly the Cavally wetland, which represents an area of great diversity. Wetlands are among the richest habitats on our planet due to the diverse ecosystem services they provide for the well-being of all humanity. Despite this benefit, they are threatened by anthropogenic interventions and climate change. In the Republic of Guinea, these threats are evident due to the inefficient management of Ramsar sites. This leads to a continuous deterioration in the quality and quantity of these areas due to agricultural use and uncontrolled logging. The designation of the Cavally wetland as a Ramsar site is based on the findings of this study and its significance for ecosystem services, as it meets the criteria of the Ramsar Convention due to its ecological diversity. In light of anthropogenic pressure, the neighboring countries must establish a fundamental management plan that takes into account the conservation of their resources.
