The article emphasizes how the Sahara and Sahel Observatory (OSS) uses scientific collaboration, technical know-how, and capacity building to advance biodiversity conservation throughout Africa. It demonstrates how OSS mobilizes climate and biodiversity funding to convert national priorities into successful conservation and restoration initiatives while assisting nations in implementing National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs) through the use of tools like remote sensing, natural capital accounting, and South-South knowledge exchange.
