Complete summary of the scientific knowledge currently available on closing of the knowledge-implementation gap in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.
In rangelands and grasslands, land degradation has an immediate and local impact by disrupting ecosystems from functioning, threatening livelihoods and negatively affecting social cohesion.
Land is the basis of human life. With climate change, the mass extinction of biological diversity and an often dysfunctional food system, we are experiencing three colliding global crises that are directly linked to the way we manage land.
International Treaties in Nature Conservation provides a unique insight into the inner mechanisms of international treaties – their history, development, successes and failures – from those who have spent their lives working with them.
This study aims to contribute to global and regional gender-climate policy data; enrich regional and national information to better target assistance to countries, their stakeholders and supporters; and inform more robust gender-responsive policymaking, knowledge and action at greater scales.
Increasing interest in measuring, modelling and valuing ecosystem services (ES), the benefits that ecosystems provide to people, has resulted in the development of an array of ES assessment tools in recent years. Selecting an appropriate tool for measuring and modelling ES can be challenging.
Recent developments have seen forest landscape restoration (FLR) become widely recognized as an important means of not only restoring ecological integrity at scale but also generating additional local-to-global benefits.

Este informe Conflicto y conservación se centra en los conflictos armados y la naturaleza. El tema es muy oportuno, ya que los conflictos armados causan grandes daños económicos y sociales, así como daños ambientales en todo el mundo.
Ce rapport Conflit et conservation met l’accent sur les conflits armés et la nature. Le sujet est tout à fait opportun, car les conflits armés causent de graves dommages économiques et sociaux, ainsi que des dommages environnementaux, partout dans le monde.
This summary for policy makers synthesises key issues, findings and recommendations from IUCN’s Gender-based violence and environment linkages: the violence of inequality (Castañeda et al., 2020).

World Heritage forests are some of the most biodiversity-rich habitats on Earth and play a crucial role in climate regulation by absorbing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. However, these forests are under increasing anthropogenic pressures, including climate change.
Recent developments have seen forest landscape restoration (FLR) become widely recognized as an important means of not only restoring ecological integrity at scale but also generating additional local-to-global benefits.

Em novembro de 2018, tal situação foi resolvida quando, na COP 14 da CDB, as Partes adotaram uma definição de “outra medida efetiva de conservação baseada em área”, bem como os princípios orientadores, as características comuns e os critérios para a identificação das OMECs (CDB/COP/ DEC/14/8).
