Guidelines for management planning of protected areas (Georgian version)
    Middleton, Julie | Thomas, Lee

A management plan is a document which sets out the management approach and goals, together with a framework for decision making, to apply in a specific protected area over a given period of time. Critical to the plan is the widest possible consultation with stakeholders and the development of objectives that can be agreed and adhered to by all who have an interest in the use and ongoing survival of the area concerned. These guidelines, based on global best practice drawn from many areas around the world, represent a working framework for protected area planners to consider and adapt to their needs and circumstances.

Gorillas : the gentle giants
    Harvey, Martin | Farris-Toussaint, Letitia

Gorillas, the largest of the Great Apes, are the second closest relatives to humans after chimpanzees and bonobos and, while once regarded as ferocious beasts, are now considered by those who have studied them to be gentle giants. Because of its limited range, the Mountain Gorilla was the first to become the subject of considerable research study by field biologists and later by wildlife photographers and writers. Only in more recent times have their cousins, the Lowland Gorillas, received such attention, their dense forest homes having kept them much less accessible to the outside world. In this book the authors, with stunning photography and concise text, follow the life and habits of these magnificent creatures and discuss their fight for survival, faced with the problems of poaching, deforestation and climate change.

Zavarovana območja v Sloveniji = Protected areas of Slovenia
   

The efforts to protect the areas where the greatest natural wealth and beauty are gathered in one place have a long history in Slovenia. Since the first initiatives at the beginning of the 20th century, the idea of protected areas and the need for their conservation have evolved, up until the last few decades when they became the paradigm of civilisation’s needs and one of the ways to achieve the sustainable development of society.
Indonesian gibbon conservation and management workshop, Sukabumi, West Java, Indonesia 20–22 February 2008 : final report
   

Seven recognized gibbon taxa are distributed across Kalimantan, Java, Sumatra and the Mentawai Islands of Indonesia, all of which were recently reassessed as Endangered using IUCN Red List criteria. To address these issues, an Indonesian Gibbon Conservation and Management Workshop was convened on 20-22 February 2008 at Lido Resort in Bogor, West Java, Indonesia. Fifty-six participants representing government agencies, universities, zoological institutions, and NGOs met to compile the most current information on the status of and threats to gibbons in Indonesia and to develop the framework for a gibbon conservation strategy with recommended goals and actions for each taxon. This workshop report provides the initial groundwork that individuals can use to guide more detailed conservation planning for gibbons in Indonesia.

The future of sustainability : have your say!
    Jeanrenaud, Sally

IUCN hosted an electronic discussion forum for its Members, Commissions, Staff and the public at large between August and September 2006.2 The e-discussion forum is one element of the IUCNFuture of Sustainability
Initiative. The forum aimed to encourage critical reflection and dialogue on an IUCN background report compiled by Professor William Adams entitled The Future of Sustainability: Rethinking Environment and Development in the Twenty-first Century. Each week of the forum focused on a different theme and was joined by a guest blogger, who provided a short introductory text and comments during the week.  The e-discussion forum is an element of the IUCN Future of Sustainability Initiative which is reviewing a new generation of sustainability thinking and practice some twenty years after the Brundtland Report popularized the well-known definition of sustainable development as “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”.
