Líneas eléctricas y vida silvestre
   

La infraestructura eléctrica, y especialmente las líneas eléctricas, está presente en muchos de nuestros paisajes y es parte integral del desarrollo socioeconómico de nuestras sociedades. Además, el tan necesario despliegue de fuentes de energía renovable para hacer frente al desafío del cambio climático también lleva asociado necesariamente el desarrollo de líneas eléctricas que transporten la electricidad desde esos nuevos puntos de generación. Sin embargo, si las líneas eléctricas, tanto de transmisión como de distribución de la electricidad, no se planifican, diseñan y gestionan adecuadamente, los impactos negativos sobre la naturaleza pueden ser muy significativos, y en concreto pueden causar graves impactos directos sobre determinadas especies de fauna en los ecosistemas que atraviesan. La presente obra analiza de forma integral las interacciones entre las líneas eléctricas aéreas y la fauna, integrando conocimientos técnicos del sector industrial con enfoques ecológicos y de conservación de la biodiversidad, proporcionando la mejor información disponible.

    Veríssimo, Diogo | Ribeiro, Edgar | Perry, Laura | Wyman Roth, Noëlle | Ribeiro, Yuri

El Grupo de Trabajo sobre el Cambio de Comportamiento de la CSE y CEC de la UICN realizó esta evaluación de necesidades para entender las barreras y oportunidades para integrar el cambio de comportamiento en la conservación de la biodiversidad dentro de la red de la UICN y más allá, contribuyendo así a los esfuerzos globales de conservación de la naturaleza.
Policy and legal enabling conditions for sustainable agriculture
    Hannam, Ian | Mezzacapo, Enrico | Chicoma, Jose L.

The dominant model for agricultural development has not adequately considered environmental and social externalities, leading to their insufficient integration into decision-making processes that shape agriculture and food systems. There is a critical need for comprehensive regulation of the agricultural sector to design and implement concrete transition pathways towards more sustainable agriculture and food systems at various scales,
from local farms to national, regional, and global levels. The purpose of this report is to identify and assess key areas of law and policy that require renewed attention to support the development and implementation of sustainable agriculture, particularly at the national level. The assessment spans international law and policy, regional instruments, and necessary updates to national laws and policies to enable, support, and effectively implement sustainable agriculture programmes over the long term. It encompasses key areas such, as biodiversity conservation, climate change adaptation and mitigation, land use planning, environmental regulations, and farmer support, to understand the importance of sustainable agriculture and adopt innovative practices.
กีีฬาและความหลากหลายทางชีีวภาพในเมืือง
    Wheeler, M. | Grossinger, R. | Ndayishimiye, E. | Spotswood, E. | Galt, R. | Carbone, Giulia

Investing in nature and Nature-based Solutions is an important pathway to address the current ecological crisis. The loss of biodiversity, with around one million animal and plant species threatened with extinction, is putting at risk our economies, livelihoods, food security, health, and quality of life worldwide. Diverse and innovative measures are needed to reverse this decline and to restore healthy ecosystems. The magnitude of the challenge calls for the collaboration and contribution of all actors, including non-state actors, such as businesses, local authorities, civil society organisations, and individual citizens. Sports and urban biodiversity identifies the opportunities for sports federations and sport venue owners and operators to develop the seven elements essential for supporting nature in cities. Case studies from Europe, North America, Australia and South Africa capture the biodiversity actions taken by a variety of sports, from Olympic city planning to local projects at stadiums and practice facilities. These examples also reveal ways in which improvements to urban biodiversity elements can offer a better sporting experience for event participants and spectators.
We are nature
    Camargo, L. | Segovia, N.

This paper presents nature-based education (NbE) as a critical solution, positioning nature at the heart of learning to foster a deep recognition of the interconnectedness between humanity and the natural world. NbE is integrated by diverse strategies such as environmental education, Indigenous knowledge and experiential learning to cultivate a profound sense of belonging, responsibility and active stewardship towards nature. This approach yields numerous benefits, including heightened awe and wonder, enhanced understanding of ecological systems, sharpened sensory awareness and significantly improved pro-environmental behaviours, ultimately leading to healthier, happier and more cohesive communities. Additionally, the paper discusses the challenges and enablers of implementing NbE. It emphasises the need for political commitment, improved educational frameworks, greener learning spaces and well-prepared educators. By recognising the intrinsic connection between humans and nature, we are nature, NbE offers a pathway toward activating our capacity to create a more regenerative and resilient future for both people and the planet.

Case study: managing invasive alien species in Africa
   

Invasive alien species (IAS) are a major, accelerating driver of biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation across Africa, with growing implications for water security, food systems and rural livelihoods. The IUCN Save Our Species (SOS) African Wildlife Initiative (SOS AWI)—funded by the European Union—supports locally led, science-based action to reduce key biodiversity threats, including IAS, through practical management, restoration and capacity strengthening.
This case study document synthesises four AWI-supported interventions that illustrate “field-tested” IAS responses spanning terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems in South Africa and Cameroon. Collectively, these interventions combine mechanical removal, fire-based control, regulated biological control, ecological restoration, and community engagement to restore habitat condition, reduce invasive pressure on threatened species, and build local stewardship and technical capacity.

Urban-rural linkage: an ecosystem governance perspective
   

This publication focuses on ecosystem governance in the context of urban-rural linkages, analysing nine case studies to develop principles for ecosystem governance. Ecosystem governance utilises the ecosystem approach, adopted by the Convention on Biological Diversity, which emphasises the interconnectedness of ecosystems and the importance of integrated management for the analysis of the case studies.
The work highlights the importance of local and regional action in reducing conflicts and achieving effective action for the sustainability of both social-ecological systems. Dialogue among stakeholders, the use of an adaptive ecosystem approach and devolution of decision-making to the lowest level, such as a community, are among the possible elements to enhance the sustainability of both systems. The publication emphasises the need for local authorities to balance social, economic, and environmental factors to prevent conflicts and land degradation. The case studies specifically examine issues such as water governance, social and behavioural challenges, energy, planning, and farming within these urban-rural ecosystems.
Systematic conservation planning with connectivity for Jordan’s protected areas network
    Faselt, Jamie | Creech, Tyler | Keely, Annika | Boulad, Natalia | Alrabee, Ateff | Haddad, Hanna | Bghdadi, Savinaz | Dabaneh, Ola | Mohamedou, Cheikh

Jordan is situated at the intersection of three continents and is home to a variety of ecosystems and rich biodiversity. Maintaining this  biodiversity in the face of climate change and human land use will require a representative and well-connected system of protected areas. This report utilises connectivity modelling and systematic conservation planning frameworks to: (1) identify movement corridors for focal species in the current landscape; (2) identify corridors among enduring physical features that could serve as movement routes for biotic communities under future climate regimes; (3) identify gaps in conservation features in the existing protected area network; and (4) present spatial prioritisation scenarios for expanding the network.
Fondo de acción para la conservación de la Fondation Segré
   

Las especies son los pilares fundamentales de los ecosistemas. Garantizan la salud, la estabilidad y la resiliencia de los sistemas naturales que sustentan la vida en la Tierra. Cuando estos pilares comienzan a colapsar, debido al declive o la extinción de especies, ecosistemas enteros pueden desmoronarse lo que desata una serie de efectos en cadena sobre la biodiversidad, el bienestar humano y la salud ambiental mundial.
Hoy en día, estos pilares fundamentales se encuentran bajo amenaza. A medida que los ecosistemas se deterioran, se debilita su capacidad para proporcionar servicios esenciales como el almacenamiento de carbono, la purificación del agua y la seguridad alimentaria. Se necesitan esfuerzos de conservación urgentes y focalizados para salvaguardar las especies y preservar la integridad estructural de los ecosistemas que sustentan.
En respuesta a este desafío, el Fondo de Acción para la Conservación de la Fondation Segré destinó sus recursos allí donde podían marcar una mayor diferencia: hacia las especies más amenazadas del mundo, aquellas clasificadas como Vulnerables (VU), En Peligro (EN), o En Peligro Crítico (CR) en la Lista Roja de la UICN.
Fonds d' application pour la conservation de la Fondation Segré
   

Les espèces sont les éléments de construction des écosystèmes. Ils assurent la santé, la stabilité et la résilience des systèmes naturels qui sont au fondement de la vie sur Terre. Lorsque leurs populations s’effondrent, que les espèces déclinent, voire s’éteignent, les effets en cascade de ces effondrements sur la biodiversité mettent en péril des écosystèmes entiers, le bien-être des êtres humains et l’ensemble de la santé environnementale. 
Aujourd’hui, ces « éléments de construction » sont menacés. La destruction des habitats, le changement climatique, la pollution, les espèces invasives, la surexploitation et le commerce illicite de la faune sauvage accélèrent la perte de biodiversité à un rythme alarmant. À mesure que se dégradent les écosystèmes, leur aptitude à fournir des services aussi essentiels que le stockage du carbone, la purification de l’eau et la sécurité alimentaire s’étiole. 
Pour faire face à ces périls, le Fonds d’action pour la conservation de la fondation Segré a alloué des ressources là où elles sont susceptibles d’avoir le plus d’impact : vers les espèces les plus menacées du monde, celles qui figurent dans les catégories vulnérable (VU), en danger (EN) et en danger critique d’extinction (CR) de la Liste rouge de l’UICN.

This report evaluates the impacts of climate change on biodiversity and local communities across six protected areas (PAs) in Jordan, as part of IUCN’s project “Enhancing Climate Resilience for Biodiversity Hotspots in Jordan.” The assessment integrates climatic data from ground stations, global climate models, and satellite sources with field observations and stakeholder consultations to provide a comprehensive analysis of climate-related threats and socio-economic vulnerabilities in the selected PAs.
Managing world heritage
Boîte à outils améliorer notre patrimoine 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.
Perkembangan terkini mengenai kesehatan populasi, pengendalian penyakit, dan tanggap wabah pada kera besar
    Gilardi, Kirsten V. K. | Düx, Ariane | Gillespie, Thomas R. | Kalema-Zikusoka, Gladys | Leendertz, Fabian H. | Nze-Nkogue, Chimène | Patrono, Livia V. | Raphael, Jane | Sulistyo, Fransiska | Kambale Syaluha, Eddy | Whittier, Christopher A.

Since publication of the 2015 Great Ape Health Guidelines, great ape tourism has continued to gain in popularity, and landscape conversion continues on a steep trajectory. In addition, there has been a tremendous amount of new scientific research on pathogens that infect wild great apes. Furthermore, the world experienced epidemics of Ebola (in West Africa from 2014–2016 and in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) from 2018–2020) and the COVID-19 pandemic (2020–2023). The purpose of this Supplement is to provide protected area authorities charged with the conservation of great ape populations, and other stakeholders working in great ape habitats, with new and additional content to the 2015 Great Ape Health Guidelines, based on new papers published through 2022, with a specific focus on: an update on health issues of concern in great ape populations, new technologies, tools and approaches for surveillance and diagnosis of infectious diseases in great apes, and great ape disease prevention.
