✦ Synopsis

Guinea islands arising from a workshop held in Jersey in 1993. The current state of the main habitats on all the islands, pressures acting upon them, existing institutions and actions taken so far are reviewed. The 24-point Action Statement was produced as a framework for future international initiatives in biodiversity research and conservation in this part of Africa. Attention is drawn to the progress made by the governments of the region in legislation and institutional support. The workshop recommended the establishment of a regional programme of research and conservation in conjunction with the Governments of Equatorial Guinea and of S5o Tome and Principe.
