Key Biodiversity Areas Process Overview
Center for Biodiversity Conservation
Conservation International
Madagascar
CI contribution to KBA Process
CBC, CEPF, USAID (MIARO), GCF and
others
Provide financial support to identify priority sites for biodiversity conservation (with partners’ collaboration):
• Threatened species research, studies and inventories
• Species distribution mapping
• Global Species Assessment
• Sites research
• Vegetation mapping
• Publication
Previous site prioritization initiatives
• GEF prioritization workshop in 1995
• Important Areas for Bird Conservation by Birdlife International in 1999
• Plan GRAP by ANGAP (Identify Potential Protected areas)
• CI Total Biodiversity Coverage workshop in 2001
• Regional priority workshops
• Assessment of Priority Areas for Plants Conservation (APAPC) by MBG in 2005
• Implementation of Durban Vision: Prioritization committee –Combination of the above

Application of KBAs irreplaceability criteria
• Important Bird Areas by Birdlife International : 10 sites out of 84 IBAs sites
• Assessment of Priority Areas for Plants Conservation by MBG: 77 sites (1,200Plants or 10% of Madagascar flora, 2,900,000ha)

164 Key Biodiversity Areas identified by CI and partners based on multiple taxonomic groups (IBAs, APAPC, KBAs)
Existing protected areas plus Durban Vision new protected areas created in 2005-2006:
62 out of 164 identified KBAs
As of now, 11 of 15 AZE sites are protected
Key Issues
• KBAs delineation/ Freshwater KBAs• Incomplete IUCN assessments of taxa: reptiles, plants,
insects• Fluid taxonomy, especially for plants• Multi-species analysis/ Marxan analysis• KBAs prioritization • KBAs identification within the Indian Ocean Islands• Lack of data: reliability, application of irreplaceability
criteria • KBAs - communication and engagement of partners in
concept- viewed as an internal institutional process for the moment
