Marine invasive species can have a disastrous impact on biodiversity, ecosystems, fisheries, human health, tourism and coastal development, and they can be extremely difficult and costly to control.
Le présent ouvrage met l'accent sur la restauration des paysages forestiers et offre des orientations sur sa contribution potentielle à une gestion intégrée des ressources en eau et des ressources forestières qui puisse offrir des avantages tangibles aux populations, à la nature et au climat de l
The present document emphasizes the forest landscape restoration approach and provides guidance on its potential to contribute to integrated water and forest resources management that provides tangible benefits for people, nature and climate in the Mano River Union.
Les récentes initiatives mondiales en matière de restauration d’écosystèmes offrent une opportunité sans précédent d’améliorer la conservation de la biodiversité ainsi que la santé et le bien-être humains. Les écosystèmes constituent une composante essentielle de la biodiversité.

This Guidance for using the IUCN Global Standard for Nature-based Solutions accompanies the Global Standardto provide the scientific basis and guidance for users.
Mountains are at the frontline of climate change, exacerbating existing vulnerabilities and socio-economic inequities for both mountain communities and those downstream. However, mountain communities have the capacity to adapt to these changes and mitigate the impacts of climate change.
As florestas do Patrimônio Mundial são alguns dos habitats mais ricos em biodiversidade da Terra e desempenham um papel fundamental na regulação do clima ao absorver dióxido de carbono (CO2) da atmosfera.
Les forêts du patrimoine mondial comptent parmi les habitats dont la biodiversité est la plus riche sur Terre. Elles jouent un rôle crucial dans la régulation du climat en absorbant le dioxyde de carbone (CO2) de l’atmosphère.
NbS are increasingly seen as a way to meet the objectives of several global agreements and can be central to a just transition – if the right mix of just transition policies are implemented. But there is currently no guarantee that NbS will generate decent work.
The wide-reaching effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have included immense loss of life and serious health and economic consequences across communities and ecosystems.
Protected and conserved areas (PCAs) are affected by disease risks and impacts in wide-ranging ways, as demonstrated by recent epidemics and the global COVID-19 pandemic.

In this publication, we take stock of the knowledge and know-how induced by the BIODEV2030 project’s first step, which is to assess the main threats to biodiversity and provide elements to address the following specific questions: how were main threats to biodiversity identified and ranked and as
Nature-based Solutions (NbS) are seen as a response to many societal challenge. It is becoming increasingly obvious that protected and conserved areas (PCAs) are a major vehicle for NbS and essential to their success in many situations.

Com base no volume de rejeitos lançados e na extensão das áreas atingidas, o rompimento da Barragem de Fundão, em Mariana, Minas Gerais, foi o maior desastre ambiental de todos os tempos na mineração brasileira, e um dos mais graves do mundo.
Based on the volume of tailings releases and the distance they travelled, the Fundão Dam failure in southeast Brazil (Mariana, Minas Gerais state) was the largest ever environmental disaster in Brazil’s mining industry, and one of the world’s most serious.
Given the vital role of power lines for social development, the rapid spread of such infrastructure worldwide and the fact that power lines can be one of the main causes of direct mortality for several species of birds and other wildlife, including mammals, it is essential to have suitable tools
