While many species of fauna and flora have lower adaptive capacities than the current rate of climate change. What about endemic fauna and flora, whose range is naturally reduced? Would it be necessary to place all endemic species "ex-situ" in order to preserve them?

It is not easy in any case!

It is therefore necessary to intervene strategically in a spirit of holistic sustainability to preserve these species in their natural habitat. Hence the place of the Endemic Biodiversity Conservation Network (EBCN) in a context marked by the erosion of biodiversity, the emergence of infectious diseases and climate change.

I am an Agricultural Engineer in Natural Resources Management: Fauna and Flora from the University of Kinshasa. I did my academic internships respectively at the Congolese Institute for Nature Conservation (ICCN) where I was assigned to the zoological garden of Kinshasa, and at the National Institute of Study and Agronomic Research (INERA) at the station of Mvuazi in the province of Central Kongo.

I followed online training courses provided by the African Protected Areas and Conservation Program of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), where I passed online exams on protected area management in Africa and species conservation in African protected areas.

Currently, I am a volunteer member of the International Union for Conservation of Nature in the World Commission on Protected Areas, but also responsible for the commission: Conservation of Nature and Climate Change within the NGO Kimbala Development.

Following the World Youth Summit of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) in April 2021 in which I participated; under my initiative and some African comrades from other countries, we are in the process of setting up a Conservation Network of Endemic Biodiversity of Africa (CNBEA) whose main objectives are the following:

To create an active solidarity around the conservation of the endemic biodiversity of Africa;
Establish a space for sharing knowledge, opportunities, common challenges and innovations around the conservation of Africa's endemic biodiversity;
To constitute a representative network of lobbying for the conservation and the research of the endemic species of Africa;
Valuing Africa's endemic biodiversity through the promotion of ecotourism;
To promote African traditional knowledge on the conservation of Africa's endemic biodiversity;
To promote environmental education.

In addition, I am the designer of a project whose reference theme is: the study of the impact of human activities on the African manatee and its natural habitat. This project suffers from a lack of funding to date. I have also completed a thesis entitled: chronological analysis of daily rainfall as an indicator of climate change in the city of Kinshasa.
