Between 1993 and 2001, the Union of the Comoros adopted a political framework which resulted in the development and adoption of a National Environmental Policy, an Action Plan Environmental, and a national strategy and action plan for the conservation and sustainable management of biodiversity.
A legislative and regulatory framework was put in place with the adoption and promulgation, in October 1994 (decree No. 94/100/PR), of the framework law on the environment and some implementing texts relating in particular to the creation of the Mohéli marine park, the protection of species and environmental impact studies (EIA). The framework law takes into account sustainable development, impact studies, biological diversity, protection of the terrestrial and marine environment, protected areas.
The three main international conventions directly concerned with the conservation of biological diversity have been ratified, namely the Convention on Biological Diversity (June 5, 1992), the Convention on Climate Change (June 4, 1992) and the Convention to Combat Desertification .
The national environmental policy was developed and adopted in 1993 by Decree No. 93-214/PR, based on the document "Diagnosis of the state of the environment in the Comoros"
