Protected Areas in Cape Verde
According to the information provided by UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Center, in 1992 no protected area existed in Cape Verde, even if several areas had been considered for their creation. Therefore, already in 1992 the future establishement of protected areas was on the program in areas characterized by ecosystems typical of the islands or by habitats with rare and/or endemic species.
According to the data of the updated World Database of Protected Areas, from 1992 to today, Nature Parks and Reserves, Integral Reserves, Protected Landscapes, Natural Monuments, and other protected areas you will find in this page have been established.
Protected Areas Project - UNDP/GEF Project Number CVI/03/007, in collaboration with Ministerio do Ambiente, Agricultura e Pescas - Direcção Geral do Ambiente
The goal of this project is to establish Cape Verde’s first network of protected areas with the purpose of conserving globally significant biodiversity. A sample of unique ecosystems have been chosen to represent just a fraction of the countries captivating beauty. The project is designed to educate and empower the citizens of Cape Verde so that they may restore and conserve their unique island ecosystem against further degradation.
