Towards sustainable fisheries law : a comparative analysis
    Winter, Gerd
With the growing scarcity of fish resources, instruments of fisheries management become crucial. This publication suggests a legal approach to this isssue, and focuses on six case studies: Indonesia, Kenya, Namibia, Brazil, Mexico and the EU. The case studies are preceded by an analysis of the international law requirements concerning fisheries management, with a focus on fisheries in Exclusive Economic Zones. The final part of the book summarises the case studies and develops a proposal for a ‘legal clinic’ for fisheries management.
Derecho ambiental en Centroamérica, tomo 1
    Aguilar Rojas, Grethel | Iza, Alejandro

Derecho Ambiental constituye una de las disciplinas más eclécticas y, por cierto, discutarget_idas del Derecho.

Covering ABS : addressing the need for sectoral, geographical, legal and international integration in the ABS regime: papers and studies of the ABS project
    Young, Tomme | Bailet, François | Blazkiewicz, Bernard | Chishakwe, Nyasha

This final book of the ABS project provides focused research papers on issues that have not been agreed internationally, and which were beyond the scope of the first four ABS books: 1) ABS issues in sectoral ministries and instruments; 2) legal issues and experiences relevant to designing an ABS framework that is functional within countries and across boundaries; 3) relationships between ABS and international frameworks addressing social welfare issues; 4) concerns regarding inter-framework issues and relationships; and 5) the need to include ABS components relating to technology transfer in discussions and implementation mechanisms.
An integrated wetland assessment toolkit : a guide to good practice
    Allen, David | Darwall, W.R.T. | Springate-Baginski, Oliver

For billions of people throughout the world – especially the poorest – wetlands are critical for livelihoods. Wetlands are also home to an enormous diversity of wildlife, much of it unique to freshwater habitats. Traditional separate biodiversity and livelihood assessment and economic valuation fails to present the full value of a wetland in the face of alternative wetland uses, and as a result wetlands are lost through development activities. Developed through case studies in Cambodia and Tanzania, this publication presents a process for integrated wetland assessment, bridging for the first time the disciplinary divides between the development, economic and conservation sectors. The Toolkit provides a set of practical and policy-relevant methods for information collection which can be used by those involved in wetland conservation and development planning.
Rights-based approaches : Exploring issues and opportunities for conservation
    Campese, Jessica | Sunderland, Terry | Greiber, Thomas | Oviedo, Gonzalo

The links between human rights and biodiversity and natural resource conservation are many and complex. The conservation community is being challenged to take stronger measures to respect human rights and is taking opportunities to further their realisation. ‘Rights-based approaches’ (RBAs) to conservation are a promising way forward, but also raise a myriad of new challenges and questions.This volume gives an overview of key issues and questions in RBA. Experience and dialogue will add to a fuller understanding of the promises and challenges of RBAs to conservation. The aim of this volume is to contribute to that discussion.
Guidelines for the re-introduction of Galliformes for conservation purposes
   

Re-introductions are increasingly being used as a wildlife management tool to restore extinct or depleted wild populations into suitable habitats. These guidelines have been developed to provide guiding principles for the restoration of viable Galliformes populations in the wild for conservation purposes.
Wildlife in a changing world : an analysis of the 2008 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species
    Hilton-Taylor, Craig | Stuart, S. N. | Vié, Jean-Christophe

Wildlife in a Changing World presents an analysis of the 2008 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Beginning with an explanation of the IUCN Red List as a key conservation tool, it goes on to discuss the state of the worlds species and provides the latest information on the patterns of species facing extinction in some of the most important ecosystems in the world, highlighting the reasons behind their declining status. Areas of focus in the report include: freshwater biodiversity, the status of the worlds marine species, species susceptibility to climate change impacts, the Mediterranean biodiversity hotspot, and broadening the coverage of biodiversity assessments.
Training manual on gender and climate change
    Aguilar Revelo, Lorena

In 2007, IUCN, UNDP, UNEP and WEDO recognized the need for a coordinated strategy among global institutions working on gender and climate change. The result was the establishment of the Global Gender and Climate Alliance (GGCA). The primary goal of the GGCA is to ensure that climate change policies, decision making, and initiatives at the global, regional and national levels are gender-responsive. The GGCA has developed this training manual to increase the capacity of policy and decision makers so that efforts to mitigate and adapt to climate change are gender-sensitive.

Marine menace : alien invasive species in the marine environment
    De Poorter, Maj

More than 70% of the earth is covered by oceans and major seas and there are more than 1.6 million kilometres of coastline. Yet our marine world is under threat: the most insidious is the one posed by marine invasive species. This booklet does not present new or primary information, but rather a synthesis of current issues and trends, including several examples of some of the worst marine invasive species, their spread and impact. It is targeted at the general public to highlight an important but often overlooked issue, and to serve as a source of information and inspiration.
Environmental guidance note for disaster risk reduction : healthy ecosystems for human security
    Ash, Neville | Sudmeier-Rieux, Karen

Investment in sustainable ecosystem management can offer cost-effective solutions to reducing community vulnerability to disasters. Healthy ecosystems are beneficial to local populations for the many benefits and products they provide, whilst acting as natural buffers to hazard events for flood abatement, slope stabilization, coastal protection and avalanche protection. This publication was developed to provide guidance on the benefits of, and ways to integrate environmental concerns into disaster risk reduction strategies (DRR) at the local and national levels. The field of disaster risk management has evolved to recognize the need for addressing development issues for reducing risk, but the environmental dimension has yet to receive adequate attention and practical guidance.
Protected areas management in the Caribbean : core themes for education, awareness, and communication programmes
All along the watchtowers : field guide for the south eastern European Green Belt
    Strauss, Andrea | Pezold, Tomasz

The southwestern part of the Balkan Peninsula is a global hot spot of biodiversity. High mountain areas show an outstanding diversity of plant species, while the region is one of the last remaining retreats of large European carnivores, such as bear, wolf and lynx. The border areas in the project region, as in many countries adjoining the European Green Belt, represent some of the last intact nature sites. Cooperation of border police and nature conservation authorities can help to enhance law enforcement, prevent illegal activities that damage the natural resources of the border areas, and monitor populations of threatened species. Civil conflict prevention is also a high priority in these areas. Transboundary cooperation in the field of nature conservation and environment protection can be regarded as an important instrument for mitigating tensions and re-establishing friendly neighborly relations. This publication is an output of the project “Civil-military Cooperation for the Promotion of Transboundary Nature Conservation along the European Green Belt (South Eastern Europe)” and was prepared in English, Albanian and Macedonian, in order to facilitate transboundary cooperation, and communication between different partners from different ethnic and professional backgrounds working or living near the border regions.
European Red List of reptiles
    Temple, Helen J. | Cox, Neil

The European Red List is a review of the conservation status of c.6,000 European species (mammals, reptiles, amphibians, freshwater fishes, butterflies, dragonflies, and selected groups of beetles, molluscs, and vascular plants) according to IUCN regional Red Listing guidelines. It identifies those species that are threatened with extinction at the regional level – in order that appropriate conservation action can be taken to improve their status. This publication summarises results for Europe’s 151 native species of terrestrial and freshwater reptiles. Approximately one fifth of these species are threatened with extinction at the European level as a result of threats including habitat loss, fragmentation and degradation, pollution, overharvesting, and deliberate persecution.
European Red List of amphibians
    Temple, Helen J. | Cox, Neil

The European Red List is a review of the conservation status of c.6,000 European species (mammals, reptiles, amphibians, freshwater fishes, butterflies, dragonflies, and selected groups of beetles, molluscs, and vascular plants) according to IUCN regional Red Listing guidelines. It identifies those species that are threatened with extinction at the regional level – in order that appropriate conservation action can be taken to improve their status. This publication summarises results for Europe’s 85 native species of amphibians. Nearly a quarter of these species are threatened with extinction at the European level as a result of threats including habitat loss, fragmentation and degradation, pollution, climate change, and invasive alien species.
Au-delà de l'accès : l'application du partage juste et équitable des avantages en vertu de la CDB
    Walloe, Morten | Young, Tomme

Moins de 11 % des Parties à la CDB ont adopté des lois de fond sur l'ABS et presque toutes sont des pays en développement qui ont surtout privilégié le terme « accès » de l'équation. Or, la plupart des obligations ABS spécifiques énoncées par la CDB ont trait à l'autre terme de l'équation - le partage des avantages. Le présent ouvrage se penche sur l'ensemble de la gamme des obligations ABS et étudie comment les instruments existants dans le droit national des pays utilisateurs peuvent permettre d'atteindre le troisième objectif de la CDB. Il examine le droit des pays utilisateurs qui ont, soit déclaré que le droit national en vigueur permet de remplir les obligations ABS, soit entamé l'élaboration de lois ; les exigences, les faiblesses et les lacunes du processus de réalisation des objectifs de partage des avantages ; et la manière dont les outils juridiques nouveaux ou existants peuvent s'appliquer à ces exigences.
Un blanco en movimiento : recursos genéticos y opciones para rastrear y monitorear sus flujos internacionales
    Lapeña, Isabel | Ruiz Muller, Manuel

El debate actual sobre el "certificado de origen, fuente y procedencia legal" incluyen las implicaciones legales y prácticas asociadas con el rastreo de los recursos genéticos. Saber qué está dónde, cómo llegó allí, y si se cumplieron las condiciones y restricciones, es un aspecto crítico en la implementación eficaz de un régimen de APB. Este libro proporciona información detallada sobre las opciones y componentes para el desarrollo de un sistema nacional / internacional de rastreo y monitoreo de los recursos genéticos para garantizar el cumplimiento de las disposiciones de APB del CDB.
Une cible mobile : ressources génétiques et options de localisation et de surveillance de leurs mouvements internationaux
    Lapeña, Isabel | Ruiz Muller, Manuel

Les discussions en cours sur le « certificat de source, d’origine et de provenance juridique » tiennent compte des implications juridiques et pratiques du traçage du flux de ressources génétiques. Il est essentiel de savoir où se trouvent ces ressources, comment elles y sont venues et si les conditions et restrictions ont été respectées si l'on veut que l'application du régime APA soit efficace. Cet ouvrage offre un aperçu des options et des éléments de mise au point d'un système national/international de traçage et de suivi des ressources génétiques dans le respect des principes APA de la CDB. On y trouvera des discussions sur les options pratiques de mise au point de ce système, son coût et ses incidences économiques, ainsi que sur son rôle possible dans le cadre de l'APA.
Improving forest governance in Knuckles : dialogue and development for better outcomes
    Badenoch, Nathan

This paper is a response to an IUCN internal review of the Strengthening Voices for Better Choices project, carried out in May 2007. The review recommended that a study be carried out, focusing on the process of implementation in Sri Lanka, in order to learn lessons about catalysing dialogue for improved forest governance. It is intended to serve as a learning tool for people involved in the Strengthening Voices for Better Choices project in Sri Lanka and beyond. As such, it is not a consensus document, although a broad range of stakeholders was consulted and their views have been taken into account as much as possible. Several reviewers also provided comments on earlier drafts. It is hoped that the paper will inform reflections of a similar nature in other sites within the global project, and that it will be of interest more generally to people involved in forest governance.
