Continued update of the Regional ID cards for the website
Initial draft planning for BEST activities for South Atlantic hub
South Atlantic Hub
Future Planning / Next steps
• Priority – Internal training of BEST Ecologist on Ecosystem Planning
Workshops: • Organising visits to Ascension Island and St Helena for 2015 • Organising workshops within Ascension Island and St Helena with an interactive
presentation sent to Tristan da Cunha • Organise local stakeholder meetings (South Atlantic Hub and FI and SGSSI) • Contact regional and local media; including newspapers, MercoPress

(25/07) + Amazonian quick off meeting (08/10) → establishment of a local SC Presentation of BEST project to private sector (several meetings) and in each
territory of French Guyana (5 territories before 31/12)
Ecosystem profile Training on EP: 28/08 + early December for Amazonian hub team Validation of EP process by regional scientific committee (CSRPN): 26/11
AMAZONIAN Hub
Ecosystem profile on the Amazonian hub Focus on ecosystem services Application of KBA+ methodology
Working groups 4 WG: Marine issues and ecosystem services, Terrestrial issues (KBA
identification), Terrestrial ecosystem services, Threats Next meetings: Marine issues and ES (16/12), Terrestrial ES (18/12)
Participatory process Integration of Amazonian territories vision into the works of WG, mainly into the
WG3 (terrestrial ES) Involvement of regional cooperation (Guiana Shield Facility)
AMAZONIAN Hub
Expression of needs
Methodological support for the application of KBA+ methodology, mainly on ES
Stakeholders mobilization is quite long to be sure of the appropriation of the process → need to extend the time spent by the EP expert (assistant) in the hub
Be careful on communication about BEST with OR's (regarding BEST 2.0)

Updates Deliverables Contact list: updated following meetings with partners in Reunion,
Mayotte, and added some related to BIOT and Scattered islands Factsheet: First version completed (Nov. 2014), to be consolidated soon
with references, protected areas maps and update some figures Ecosystem Profile: Gathering strategic docs from various territories
(biodiversity assessments, management plans, etc.), scientific literature review to fill gaps, identified regional CEPF ecosystem profiles
BEST meetings Nov. 2014: met partners from Reunion & Mayotte and updated them
about BEST III’s work plan (Local authorities, decentralized national institutions, Reunion National Park, Coastal protection agency, scientific key experts).
INDIAN OCEAN Hub
Next steps 1. Complete the important docs list and sort out literature review
2. Move forward to shaping the definitive contact group that will review and validate the ecosystems profiles (EP) during its collaborative elaboration process
3. Periodic stakeholders meetings throughout EP elaboration and thematic workshops (marine, terrestrial environments, ecosystem services)
4. Thematic workshops preparing EP’s writing
5. EP writing process and collective validation with the various regional partners

Terres Australes et Antarctiques Françaises www.taaf.fr The French Southern and Antarctic Lands (TAAF) are spread out along an exceptional latitudinarian gradient, which runs from the tropics to the south pole. Thanks to its geographic isolation and limited occupancy the territory’s scientific and environmental issues are of significant value. Over several decades the TAAF have hosted many research projects on all five districts. Research ranges from life sciences to universe sciences. On average, 225 French and foreign researchers are present every year on the stations to work on about sixty different programs.
