Florence PALLA

Biography

Regional Vice Chair, West and Central Africa. Coordinator of the regional project to support the Central African Forest Observatory with a focus on the observation of Protected Areas in synergy with the BIOPAMA programme (including marine ones). I was from 2019 to 2021 in support of the RVC for Central Africa. I am a member of NatureForAll and work closely with other PA networks, especially those in West Africa. Through the activities of the Observatory, there is a strong contribution to the updating of the WDPA for the data of the 10 Central African countries.Since 2023, I am also a member of IUCN Green List Standard Commission and Management Effectiveness Specialist Group.
