Planejamento e gestão de Áreas Protegidas e Conservadas para a conservação de ecossistemas de águas continentais e da biodiversidade
    Moberg, Tara | Abell, Robin | Dudley, Nigel | Harrison, Ian | Kang, Shiteng | Rocha Loures, Flavia | Shahbol, Natalie | Thieme, Michele L. | Timmins, Hannah

Os ecossistemas de águas continentais – incluindo lagos, rios e córregos, bem como áreas úmidas como brejos e turfeiras – estão entre os mais ameaçados do planeta. Desde 1970, as populações monitoradas de espécies de água doce registraram uma diminuição média de 85%, superando significativamente o ritmo de declínio das espécies marinhas e terrestres. Atualmente, quase um terço das espécies de água doce enfrenta risco iminente de extinção. O relatório a seguir resume esses principais desafios e evidencia a diversidade de soluções em desenvolvimento ao redor do mundo, conduzidas por povos indígenas, comunidades locais, órgãos governamentais e organizações da sociedade civil. A iniciativa é impulsionada pela meta do Marco Global de Biodiversidade de Kunming-Montreal (KM-GBF) de conservar 30% das águas continentais globalmente, tendo como objetivo central apoiar o cumprimento desse compromisso ao servir como um guia consolidado para profissionais do setor.
Synergies between the IUCN Red List of Ecosystems and SEEA Ecosystem Accounting
   

This booklet provides practical guidance on how the IUCN Red List of Ecosystems (RLE) and the System of Environmental-Economic Accounting (SEEA) Ecosystem Accounting can be produced and used in combination for policy, decision-making and monitoring, with a focus on implementation and monitoring of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. The Red List of Ecosystems focuses on the risk status of ecosystems from a biodiversity perspective, while SEEA Ecosystem Accounting foregrounds the contributions of ecosystems to people and the economy. The booklet encourages collaboration between practitioners and agencies tasked with developing programmes of work for the Red List of Ecosystems or SEEA Ecosystem Accounting to co-invest in shared datasets and align workflows, reducing duplication of effort, strengthening national capacity and
enhancing outcomes for biodiversity, ecosystems and people.
Recognising ICCAs–territories of life overlapped by protected areas
    Stevens, Stan

This Summary is an expanded version of the Executive Summary of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) World Commission on Protected Areas (WCPA) Good Practice Guidelines on Protected and Conserved Areas Series volume on Recognising territories and areas conserved by Indigenous peoples and local communities (ICCAs) overlapped by protected areas.
It provides an overview of the IUCN WCPA good practice guidance on recognising and respecting ICCAs–territories of life, and particularly those which are overlapped by protected areas. It also provides guidance on alternatives to creating overlaps or undermining custodians’ governance, management and use of their ICCAs–territories of life. This guidance also largely applies to recognising and respecting ICCAs–territories of life which are overlapped by ‘other effective area-based conservation measures’ (OECMs) that are not themselves governed by IPs or LCs.
The Summary provides overviews of the Guidelines volume’s key messages, guiding principles, key approaches or pathways for achieving recognition and respect for overlapped ICCAs–territories of life and key good practices. It highlights good practices with illustrations of outstanding examples from around the world.
Maintaining, enhancing and restoring ecological integrity in conservation planning and action
    Jones, Kendall R. | Nicholson, Emily | Robinson, John G. | Andrade Pérez, Angela | Annagylyjova, Jamal | Czúcz, Bálint | Gonda, Catalina | Grantham, Hedley | Halpern, Benjamin S. | Mackey, Brendan (Brendan G.) | Maina Mbui, Joseph | Rao, Madhu | Sankaran, Mahesh | Santos, Julianna | Sarira,Tasya | Starkey, Malcom

This IUCN WCPA Technical Report results from the deliberations of an IUCN Task Force on Ecological Integrity, and aims to provide guidance on how to successfully incorporate ecological integrity into conservation policy and practice. Ecological integrity, together with several related concepts (e.g. ecosystem integrity, ecological condition, ecological degradation, resilience, ecosystem health), are grounded in a long history in the scientific literature. Ecological integrity is referenced in multilateral environmental agreements, especially those derived from the 1992 Rio Declaration on Environment and Development: the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), and the UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD). In particular, the CBD’s Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KMGBF) systematically refers to ecological integrity in its goals and targets. Ecological and ecosystem integrity are also widely referenced in the IUCN 2026–2029 programme, ‘Nature 2030. One nature, one future’, as well as several IUCN Standards (including the IUCN Red List of Ecosystems Standard, the Key Biodiversity Area Standard,
Global Standard for Nature-based Solutions, and the FAO-IUCN Standards of Practice to Guide Ecosystem Restoration).
IUCN Global Standard for Effective and Equitable Protected and Conserved Areas
    Woodley, Stephen | Wilson, Joanne | Geldmann, Jonas | Hockings, Marc | Karibuhoye, Charlotte | Mejia, Paola | Palla, Florence | Manopawitr, Petch | Seleem, Nadine

First introduced as the IUCN Green List Standard for Protected and Conserved Areas, the IUCN Global Standard for effective and equitable protected and conserved areas version 2.0 (Global PCA Standard) provides this common framework. It establishes an internationally recognised benchmark for assessing and improving effective governance and management of protected and conserved areas, with the overarching objective of increasing the number of sites that deliver successful conservation outcomes. The Global PCA Standard supports conservation practitioners, governance authorities, Indigenous Peoples, local communities, private actors, and other rightsholders and stakeholders in strengthening the governance and management effectiveness of protected and conserved areas.

Guidance and toolkit for impact assessments in a World Heritage context (Ukranian translation)
    Court, Sarah | Jo, Eugene | Mackay, Richard | Murai, Mizuki | Therivel, Riki

As the World Heritage Convention celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2022, over 1100 sites around the world are recognized as World Heritage - places  that are so valuable to humanity that there conservation has been deemed our collective responsibility. Yet many of these exceptional places face  increasing pressure from diverse types of development projects within and around the sites. Assessing the impacts of such projects is essential to both prevent damage to World Heritage and identify sustainable options. This Guidance and toolkit explains the process for achieving these goals. Offering practical tips and tools including checklists and a glossary, it provides a framework for conducting impact assessments for cultural and natural heritage sites.

Las Áreas Protegidas y Conservadas (APC) salvaguardan la biodiversidad y proporcionan servicios ecosistémicos esenciales para la salud humana y animal, desde la filtración del agua hasta la regulación del clima. Sin embargo, las APC también pueden ser lugares donde surgen o se propagan enfermedades infecciosas entre personas, fauna silvestre y animales domésticos. Estas dinámicas hacen que las APC no solo sean vulnerables a las amenazas de enfermedades infecciosas, sino también aliadas fundamentales para prevenirlas y mitigarlas. Al reconocer los riesgos y beneficios de las APC, los sectores de conservación, salud pública y salud veterinaria trabajan cada vez más dentro del marco de Una Sola Salud, un enfoque que integra y optimiza la salud de las personas, los animales y los ecosistemas. Esta guía entre pares ayuda a que los administradores de PCA aprovechen sus amplios conocimientos especializados y prácticos para implementar Una Sola Salud, con una especial atención en la prevención y el manejo de enfermedades infecciosas. La caja de herramientas ofrece marcos adaptables para evaluar los riesgos de enfermedades infecciosas (MAP), reducir los riesgos de enfermedades infecciosas (ACT) y evaluar y desarrollar la capacidad a largo plazo de Una Sola Salud (CREATE). Los administradores pueden utilizar la caja de herramientas para identificar sistemáticamente las actividades existentes de Una Sola Salud y determinar dónde y cómo se podría mejorar la capacidad de Una Sola Salud en cada APC o sistema de APC. Fundamentada en el consenso de expertos y probada con administradores en diversos contextos, la guía presenta diversos ejemplos, lecciones aprendidas y el consenso actual sobre las mejores prácticas —sin ser prescriptiva.
Évaluer et réduire les risques de maladies infectieuses dans les aires protégées et conservées
    Hopkins, Skylar R. | Olson, Sarah H. | Colchao, Paulo | Desvars-Larrive, Amélie | Izza Dwiyanti, Evita | Fairbank, Hannah | Lester Finley, Nina | Hayman, David T. S. | Justinek, Ziva | Karryyeva, Shirin | Muylaert, Renata L. | Mitchell, Brent A. | Morand, Serge | Nelson, Alexandria P. | Nova, Nicole | Pontel de Almeida, Anna | Prist, Paula R. | Puspitarani, Gavrila Amadea | Redford, Kent H. | Salkeld, Dan | Walzer, Chris

Les aires protégées et conservées (APC) préservent la biodiversité tout en fournissant des services écosystémiques fondamentaux pour la santé humaine et animale mais ces mêmes APC peuvent servir de foyers d’émergence ou de propagation de maladies infectieuses. Conscients des risques et avantages inhérents aux APC, les secteurs de la conservation, de la santé publique et de la santé vétérinaire inscrivent de plus en plus leurs travaux dans le cadre « Une seule santé », une approche intégrative visant à optimiser la santé des personnes, des animaux et des écosystèmes. Le présent ouvrage aide les gestionnaires d’APC à mettre à profit leur solide expertise et leur expérience de terrain pour traduire cette approche dans les faits, en mettant l’accent sur la prévention et la gestion des maladies infectieuses. La boîte à outils s’articule autour de cadres adaptables qui permettent d’évaluer les risques de maladies infectieuses (outil MAP), afin de les réduire (outil ACT), mais aussi d’évaluer et de renforcer les capacités à long terme liées à l’approche « Une seule santé » (outil CREATE). Les gestionnaires peuvent l’utiliser pour recenser systématiquement les activités existantes relatives à cette approche et déterminer précisément où et comment rehausser les capacités connexes au sein de chaque APC ou réseau d’APC. Fondé sur un consensus d’experts et testé auprès de gestionnaires dans des contextes variés, l’ouvrage met en exergue divers exemples, des enseignements tirés, et l’état actuel du consensus sur les meilleures pratiques, sans être prescriptif.

Case study: An assessment of the conservation effectiveness of species, habitat and community livelihood approaches
   

This document summarises findings from two independent programme-level assessments that provide a consolidated analysis of the effectiveness of conservation approaches under SOS AWI, with a particular focus on large African carnivores, the habitats they depend on and associated community livelihood support activities. It is intended as a synthesis of study findings, project results and learnings from across the SOS AWI portfolio of projects.
Global risks to mangrove ecosystems
   

Despite being among the most productive and valuable natural ecosystems, mangroves face significant human pressures, making it essential to know their status for effective conservation and management. This global assessment of mangrove ecosystems represents a landmark effort to understand the status and trends of mangroves worldwide. It is the first time that all occurrences of a single Ecosystem Functional Group have been assessed. The work has been made possible due to the collaboration of 232 scientists, as well as the increasing availability of spatial data and growing knowledge on mangrove ecology. A global approach is particularly valuable as many of the key ecological functions and services provided by mangroves are transboundary and regional in scope.

Agricultural standards and Nature Positive
    Bhasin, Medha | Curet, Florence

Agricultural standards and associated certification schemes can play a critical role in mainstreaming biodiversity conservation within farming practices. However, the diversity of standards and criteria makes it difficult to understand how effective they are in raising ambition for biodiversity conservation and delivering contributions to the Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KMGBF). To address this, 11 voluntary standards relevant to dsm-firmenich’s supply chains – and other buyers of natural ingredients across sectors – were assessed against biodiversity-specific criteria. This assessment aims to guide dsm-firmenich and other companies in understanding which criteria are important to deliver Nature Positive outcomes and how standards align with them. Additionally, the assessment aims to help standard bodies enhance their frameworks in alignment with the Nature Positive goal to halt and reverse nature loss by 2030 and achieve full recovery by 2050.

Set di strumenti per rafforzare il nostro patrimonio 2.0
   

World Heritage properties are internationally recognized as places of Outstanding Universal Value that should benefit from the highest level of management effectiveness. The Toolkit 2.0 offers a self-assessment methodology to evaluate management effectiveness in a World Heritage property or other heritage place. It contains 12 tools that can be used separately or collectively to understand in detail what is working well and what can be done better. The Toolkit supports managers in identifying ways to improve conservation practices, management processes and resource allocation – particularly if used before reviewing or updating management plans. While there is a focus on World Heritage, it can be applied to all heritage places, whether natural, cultural or combinations of both.
