Valuing the net benefits of ecosystem restoration : the Ripon City Quarry in Yorkshire, Ecosystem Valuation Initiative case study no. 1
    Olsen, Nathalie | Shannon, Delia
Aggregate Industries UK, a subsidiary of Holcim, restores ecosystems as part of its quarrying operations. In support of a request to extend an existing quarry in North Yorkshire, the company proposed to create a mix of wetlands for wildlife habitat as well as an artificial lake for recreation, following the extraction of sand and gravel from land currently used for agriculture. Stakeholders were consulted to determine their preferences for restoration. In collaboration with IUCN, ecosystem valuation was undertaken to assess the types and scale of economic benefits associated with wetland restoration.

Guidance on the preparation of retrospective Statements of Outstanding Universal Value for World Heritage properties
   

This guidance sets out the suggested procedures for compiling retrospective Statements of Outstanding Universal Value (OUV) and for submitting them for approval by the World Heritage Committee. It aims to show that the process should be manageable for most properties using the materials available at the time of inscription, and that the outcome is of great benefit to all those involved in the protection, management and promotion of World Heritage properties, and to the World Heritage Committee and the Advisory Bodies. Based on this Guidance, the Advisory Bodies and World Heritage Centre aim to provide support and advice to States Parties on preparing retrospective Statements of OUV, when requested.

Are the mangroves for the future?
    Baig, Saima | Iftikhar, Usman Ali
This study focuses on Damb Village, Balochistan, which is a site of a naturally occurring mangrove forest in Miani Hor lagoon. The latest mangrove vegetation map prepared by SUPARCO using SPOT imagery in 2003 suggests that 86,727 ha are under mangrove forests along Pakistan’s coast. Most notably it can be seen that 4.68 percent of mangrove forests in Pakistan exist in Balochistan (Miani Hor, Kalmat Hor and Jiwani) of which Miani Hor contains 84 percent of the total area under mangroves in Balochistan. The study attempts to undertake an economic valuation of the Miani Hor mangrove ecosystem.
