This study examines the costs of conservation and the value of benefits associated with biodiversity around the QIT Madagascar Minerals (QMM) project area, with a focus on the Tsitongambarika (TGK) forest complex.
There are two principles here, both reflecting the natural world. The first is that natural systems are based on cycles, for example water, nitrogen and carbon. Secondly, there is very little waste in natural systems.

Dans ce volume, vous trouverez les informations les plus récentes sur la distribution des espèces confrontées à un risque dextinction élevé dans certains des écosystèmes les plus importants du monde, et sur les raisons de ce déclin.
Development and implementation of blue carbon-based activities now requires strategic policy and incentive mechanisms for coastal conservation, restoration and sustainable use, and and disincentives to drain or damage coastal systems. Currently no broad, strategic program exists to achieve this.
The purpose of this publication is to provide naturalists, resource managers and scientists with a simple guide to identify all species of seagrasses in the Red Sea. Each species is described in detail using photographs of key and diagnostic features.
This document summarizes discussions that were held during a workshop in December 2011 and which focused on making progress on the identification of Ecologically and Biologically Significant Areas for seamounts in the high seas.

Asia countries have accomplished a great deal in understanding and documenting plant diversity. This edition of the Asian Plant Conservation Report presents readers with progress and successful cases of plant conservation in Asia.
There is a real need for all those who are involved in making and implementing decisions - including central government planners and policymakers, local government administrators, civil society and the private sector - to understand the basic concepts and principles of governance and be able to
Ce livre est le fruit d'un souci commun pour la conservation de la biodiversité et des espaces naturels protégés dans un monde changeant sur lequel pèsent actuellement la menace du changement climatique global et la disparition de la biodiversité qui est à la base de l'existence de notre planète.
