In Africa where population growth continues to grow at one of the fastest rates in the world, PHE projects have demonstrated benefits to conservation.

The panel discussed issues on the benefits of Population, Health and Environment (PHE) approaches for Africa’s biodiversity conservation that included Population dynamics and environment in Africa: Implications for PHE, World Population Data Sheet 2021 highlights, ABCG PHE lessons learned in Cameroon and ABCG PHE insights on Benefits for conservation.
