WHY AN ATLAS? STRUCTUREBIOTA (BIOdiversity Transect Analysis, www.biota-africa.com) Africa started in the year 2000 as a co-operative and interdisciplinary research project, initiated and funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The project developed into a unique network of German and African scientists aiming at creating scientific support for decision makers for conservation planning and as a holistic contribution towards feasible and sustainable management of the use of biodiversity. BIOTA Africa meets the obligations of the UN conventions on biodiversity (UN-CBD) and climate change (UNFCCC), of the Johannesburg Plan of Action of the World Summit on Sustainable Deve-lopment (WSSD), and the New Partnership for Africa’s De-velopment (NEPAD). In BIOTA West, one of four regional sub-projects, more than 150 researchers collected data on various aspects of biodiversity on different scientific fields in Burkina Faso, Benin and Côte d’Ivoire.
The data presented in the Atlas of Biodiversity is derived from BIOTA West research projects and is supplemented by national experts of the involved African countries. The over-all goal was to better understand the conservation statute, distribution or way of life of the different organism groups in order to sustain the manifold species richness still found or to restore already degraded eco-systems. In some stu-dies recommendations for sustainable use of selected or-ganisms were proposed. The expansive data have been analysed and the results published in more than 600 sci-entific publications in journals specialized in the respective fields. But BIOTA was also aimed at a broad application of its research based results and recommendations. It addres-ses ministries, NGOs, National Park managers as well as teachers, students and the interested public alike. In order to preserve this comprehensive data, to make it accessible out side of the research community and to “translate” re-search results into a language understood by a broader pu-blic, this Atlas of Biodiversity of West Africa was compiled.

CONFLICTS AND PERSPECTIVES OF BIODIVERSITY CONSER-VATION IN WEST AFRICA | Biodiversity development in the face of Climate Change | Conflicts of land use and biodi-versity in the upcoming decades in West Africa | Environ-mental impact of cotton cultivation | Cacao and vegetation diversity | Perspectives and importance of the protected areas in West Africa
Each of the three involved countries – Benin, Burkina Faso and Côte d’Ivoire – is facing different problems regarding sustainable biodiversity. The Atlas is therefore organized in three national volumes. Each volume contains identical chapters (Chapters 2 & 3) dealing with basic data affecting biodiversity at the West African level and the current state of biodiversity found there. Chapters 4 to 8 are a national focus on biodiversity co-vering the major influences on biodiversity, the current sta-te of biodiversity in the respective country, areas of special importance for conservation, and conservation strategies of the future. Anticipated changes under the pressure of climate and land use change for all three target countries alike are discussed in chapter 9. The last chapter (Methods) gives an insight into field methods used in the studies of BIOTA for surveying plants, ants and termites, fish, amphibi-ans, and bats.To ensure the comprehension the BIOTA atlas is bilingual: French and English.
