As the global coverage of protected areas increases, it is becoming more important to ensure that today's managers have the necessary qualifications and skills to effectively manage protected areas.
Connectivity conservation is essential for managing healthy ecosystems, conserving biodiversity and adapting to climate change across all biomes and spatial scales.

The high amount of land used for cultivation and livestock farming has dramatically shaped landscapes in Europe and throughout the rest of the world. Agriculture is a fundamental human activity that intrinsically depends on nature and at the same time poses a threat to it.
In 2016, IUCN uplisted the western chimpanzee, Pan troglodytes verus, from “Endangered” to “Critically Endangered”, reflecting the subspecies’ increasingly dire conservation status.

Para que la restauración de paisajes forestales (RPF) sea sostenible y responda a las múltiples necesidades medioambientales y del desarrollo, es necesario que exista diálogo y coordinación entre los diferentes sectores, agentes e instituciones.
This report seeks to share understanding of the roots of plastic polymer pathways to the Baltic Sea, then moves to defining the nature and extent of the problem, then passes to the impacts on sea ice habitat and marine species of the region.
Illegal trade in wildlife has increased dramatically over the past decade; however, so have enforcement efforts aimed at mitigating this threat. Successful enforcement often involves the seizure and confiscation of wild species from diverse taxa of plants, animals and fungi.
Ein Habitatbaum ist ein Baum, der mindestens ein Baummikrohabitat trägt. Baummikrohabitate sind klar abgegrenzte Habitatstrukturen, die von teilweise hochspezialisierten Arten oder Artengemeinschaften während zumindest eines Teils ihres Lebenszyklus genutzt werden.

Le plastique a pénétré chaque aspect de notre vie : des vêtements aux peintures en passant par les véhicules et les produits d’hygiène. Le plastique est bon marché, durable, léger et malléable, ses usages sont donc quasi illimités.
Plastic pollution originates from various sources. While many industries are taking steps to reduce their dependence on plastic, there is currently no reliable methodology to forecast specifically the extent of the marine plastic leakage from an industry or a country and map potential leakage hot
REDD+ is vital for global efforts to combat climate change. The UNFCCC specifically recognized the GCF as a key funding avenue for channeling REDD+ RBPs. The GCF began offering such payments in 2017, and funding activities that are necessary to achieve REDD+ results since it started to approve fu
