The UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Centre provides information for
policy and action to conserve the living world.
Our programmes concentrate on species, forests, protected areas,
marine, mountains and freshwaters; plus habitats affected by climate
change such as polar regions. We also address the relationship between
trade and the environment and the wider aspects of biodiversity
assessment.
UNEP-WCMC, in partnership with the public and private sector, is
undertaking a major project in the development of a decentralized
knowledge management system. The system is being developed as Project
Proteus and throughout 2004 and beyond users of this website will see
the impact of the project.
