IUCN Green List

Certification of Sango’s ecological management practices

Sango Wildlife Conservancy, as a conservation area, is listed as a potential site under the IUCN Green List Standard, hence recognising it is achieving ongoing results for people and nature in a fair and effective way

Any protected and conserved area that gains ‘Green List’ status demonstrates:

Respect: for the local community through fair and meaningful engagement of rights-holders and stakeholders.

Design: planning that identifies the needs to secure the important values of the area.

Effective management: monitoring of the status of these important values.

Successful conservation results: for nature and for people.

Clear contribution: to climate change responses, health and well-being and other challenges.

The IUCN Green List is a global campaign for successful nature conservation, it provides a global benchmark for how to meet the environmental challenges of the 21st century by helping achieve fair and effective nature conservation results in protected and conserved areas. It works toward guaranteeing that wildlife and ecosystems can survive, thrive and bring value to communities everywhere

In order to remain certified, Sango will have to undergo the verification process every five years.

It is today  the global authority on the status of the natural world and the measures needed to safeguard it. It is involved in data gathering and analysis (ex. IUCN Red List Species and Ecosystems), research, field projects, advocacy, and education. IUCN’s mission is to „influence, encourage and assist societies throughout the world to conserve nature and to ensure that any use of natural resources is equitable and ecologically sustainable“.
