English and French By Center for Conservation Innovation/Conservation Strategies Unit, 2002, World Wildlife Fund (WWF) Based on 1993 national census data, the maps present overlays of population growth, migration, urbanization, and ecological data for the ecoregion. Women's literacy data from the village and commune levels were also mapped to explore the linkages between the existence of educational opportunities for women, population growth, and forest loss. The resulting map series help to identify critical areas where high-priority biodiversity, significant population pressures, and vulnerable socioeconomic conditions meet, and where integrated conservation and development interventions are needed.
