2022 marks The Restoration Initiative’s (TRI) fourth full year of implementation. While the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic still lingers across the world, including for TRI partners, the year was full of successes for programmatic objectives. As travel restrictions were lifted and further collaboration was made possible, TRI partners were able to coordinate to achieve cross-programmatic goals and learn from one another. Just as 2020 and 2021 were full of transitions and “new normals”, 2022 provided a new opportunity for all TRI partners and implementing organizations to re-emphasize the need for locally led restoration, community engagement and renewed perspective.
Though the pygmy hippopotamus has been designated as a flagship species of West African forests (meaning that by raising conservation efforts for a single species, an entire ecological region could benefit), very little research has been published on the animal. They are solitary, nocturnal, and highly evasive, and until recent developments in "camera trap" technology, they were considered the least-photographed large mammal species in the world.

This book considers the issue of biodiversity in developing countries in relation to intellectual-property rights, community rights and human rights.

L'année 2022 marque la quatrième année complète de mise en œuvre de l'Initiative pour la restauration. Alors que l'impact de la pandémie de covid-19 perdure encore dans le monde entier, y compris pour les partenaires de l'Initiative, l'année a été riche en succès pour les objectifs programmatiques. Avec la levée des restrictions de voyage et une collaboration accrue rendue possible, les partenaires de l'Initiative ont pu coordonner leurs efforts pour atteindre des objectifs interprogrammatiques et apprendre les uns des autres. Tout comme 2020 et 2021 ont été marquées par des transitions et de "nouvelles normes", 2022 a offert une nouvelle opportunité à tous les partenaires de l'Initiative et aux organisations de mise en œuvre pour réaffirmer la nécessité d'une restauration dirigée localement, d'un engagement communautaire et d'une perspective renouvelée.
