The Protected Planet Report 2018 provides an update of progress towards Aichi Biodiversity Target 11 at the global scale. With two years to go until 2020, the Protected Planet Report 2018 confirms that significant progress has been made to accelerate protection of biodiversity on land and in the

Ante un mundo cambiante, en el que aumentan y se aceleran las presiones sobre la biodiversidad –situación que pone en riesgo el mantenimiento y uso de los servicios ecosistémicos esenciales para el bienestar humano y que incrementa los conflictos socioambientales e intersectoriales–, es fundament

This report is the second in a series that describes IUCN’s work with independent scientific and technical advisory panels.

A biodiversidade é inerente à restauração da paisagem florestal.

La biodiversidad es inherente a la restauración de paisajes forestales.

L’analyse de situation se concentre principalement sur les palmiers à huile dans le contexte de la conservation de la biodiversité à partir de la littérature publiée avant le 31 janvier 2018, et vise à fournir une alternative constructive pour relever les défis de durabilité rencontrés par l’indu

La biodiversidad y el carbono orgánico en los suelos determinan en gran medida el papel de la tierra en la producción de alimentos, el almacenamiento de agua, y la mitigación del cambio climático.

Soil biodiversity and soil organic carbon are vital to the way ecosystems function and they largely determine the role of land in producing food, storing water, and mitigating climate change. This report highlights how soil organic carbon and soil biodiversity provide the foundation for terrestri

Biodiversity is inherent in forest landscape restoration. As global initiatives like the Bonn Challenge and New York Declaration on Forests inspire nations to pursue sustainable landscapes and economic growth, on the ground, biodiversity binds people and nature to their shared future.

These Guidelines on business and KBAs have been developed by the KBA Partners to support businesses in managing risk to biodiversity. They will be of use to business and certification scheme operators, financial institutions, civil society organisations, and public authorities.

Sport can have significant negative impacts on biodiversity, through the construction and use of sports venues and the staging of sporting events.

Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) are areas contributing significantly to the global persistence of biodiversity. KBAs need to be managed to ensure environmental flows are sufficient to support these fragile freshwater ecosystems.

Biodiversité et Grande Muraille Verte explore la dépendance de l'humanité vis-à-vis de la nature et l'importance de la biodiversité pour le bien-être et le développement durable au Sahel.

The Global Soil Biodiversity Atlas is a collection of images, text, and figures presenting the importance of soil biology to policy makers, experts, and general readers alike.

Key highlights include:

This report assesses the overall state of conservation in the Pacific Islands region of Oceania, that is, the 21 countries and territories covered by SPREP plus Pitcairn Island (see Figure i.1).

With the increasing threats that disasters present there is an urgent need to prioritise proactive disaster risk reduction over reacting to disaster events.

The interdisciplinary situation analysis (ISA) presented in this document is the first of its kind and pilots various analyses of secondary data that may be drawn upon to inform the second phase of the landscape assessment, which involves primary data collection.

The Protected Planet Report 2016 assesses how protected areas contribute to achieving the Aichi Biodiversity Targets and relevant targets of the Sustainable Development Goals, and highlights current research and case studies as examples of the role protected areas play in conserving biodiversity

La Liste Rouge des Écosystèmes de l’UICN est un nouveau cadre mondial pour surveiller l’état des écosystèmes.

In this discussion paper, we undertook an analysis guided by three questions relevant to food and nutritional security for the project site of Sixaola on the Costa Rica – Panama border.

This study was commissioned by IUCN Programme Aires Protégées – UICN-PACO in late 2014 to develop comprehensive understanding for the scaling potential of the “small grants for biodiversity” model, and to improve the design and/or targeting of future investments.
