The status and distribution of freshwater biodiversity in southern Africa
    Darwall, W.R.T. | Skelton, Paul H. (Paul Harvey) | Smith, K. G. | Tweddle, D.

Biodiversity within inland water ecosystems in southern Africa is highly diverse and of great importance to livelihoods and economies, however, development activities are not always compatible with the conservation of this diversity and it is poorly represented in the development planning process. One of the main reasons is a lack of readily available information on the status and distribution of inland water taxa. In response to this need for information, the IUCN Species Programme, in collaboration with the South Africa Institute for Aquatic Biodiversity (SAIAB) and the South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI) conducted a regional assessment of 1,279 taxa of freshwater fishes, molluscs, odonates, crabs, and selected families of aquatic plants from across southern Africa. In the process of the study, which is based on the collation and analysis of existing information, regional experts from five of these countries were trained in biodiversity assessment methods, including application of the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria and species mapping using GIS software. Distribution ranges have been mapped for the majority of species so providing an important tool for application to the conservation and development planning processes. The full dataset is made freely available through distribution on CD and through the IUCN Red List website.

Best practice guidelines for the prevention and mitigation of conflict between humans and great apes
    Hockings, Kimberley | Humle, Tatyana

One of the challenges facing great ape conservation is the rising level of interaction between humans and great apes, and the resulting conflicts that emerge. It is essential that we develop a comprehensive understanding of existing and potential conflict situations, and their current or future impacts on both great apes and humans. This will require the integration of quantitative and qualitative data on multiple aspects of human and great ape behaviour and ecology, along with a good understanding of local people’s perceptions of the situation. Such knowledge can then be used to develop effective, locally-adapted, management strategies to prevent or mitigate human-great ape conflicts, whilst respecting both conservation objectives and socio-cultural-economic contexts. These guidelines outline a sequence of logical steps that should be considered prior to any form of human-great ape conflict intervention, and propose possible counter-measures to be used in the management of human-great ape conflicts.
Rule : reforming water governance
    Iza, Alejandro | Stein, Robyn

This toolkit will introduce readers to the central role played by policy, law and institutions in designing and implementing good governance for water resources. It will guide users through approaches to reforming water governance, including useful mechanisms for incorporating environmental considerations into water laws and policies. It is intended for use by water professionals, working in water management, who do not have a law background.

Guidelines for the in situ re-introduction and translocation of African and Asian rhinoceros
    Emslie, Richard | Amin, Rajan | Kock, Richard

Translocation has become routine in a number of African range states and has played a key role in increasing both white and black rhino numbers. Although less frequent in Asia, expertise and input was sought from many Asian rhino range states and has been incorporated into these guidelines. This authoritative set of guidelines seeks to share and synthesise the knowledge and experience of rhino translocations in Africa and Asia, and to provide decision makers and senior wildlife managers with guidelines on “best practice” for the translocation of African and Asian rhinos.

Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphin assessment workshop report : Solomon Islands case study of Tursiops aduncus
    Reeves, Randall R. | Brownell, Robert L.

Live-capture, holding in captivity and export of Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins from the Solomon Islands began in 2003. These activities stimulated global interest and generated concern about the potential conservation implications. This report is based on a workshop on the assessment of Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus), with the Solomon Islands as a case study, that took place from 21–23 August 2008 in Apia, Samoa. Some of the topics covered by the workshop included management goals and assessment options, general biology and life history of bottlenose dolphins and threat factors.

Hot, flat and crowded
    Friedman, Thomas L.

Friedman takes a fresh and provocative look at two of the biggest challenges we face today: America's surprising loss of focus and national purpose since 9/11; and the global environmental crisis. In this groundbreaking account of where we stand now, he shows us how the solutions to these two big problems are linked--how we can restore the world and revive America at the same time. Friedman explains how global warming, rapidly growing populations, and the astonishing expansion of the world's middle class through globalization have produced a planet that is "hot, flat, and crowded." The United States needs to take the lead in a worldwide effort to replace our wasteful, inefficient energy practices with a strategy for clean energy, energy efficiency, and conservation that Friedman calls Code Green. This is a great challenge, Friedman explains, but also a great opportunity, and one that America cannot afford to miss. Not only is American leadership the key to the healing of the earth; it is also our best strategy for the renewal of America.

Manejo de produtos florestais não madeireiros
    Machado, Frederico

A proposta do Manejo de Produtos Florestais Não Madeireiros: um manual com sugestões para o manejo participativo em comunidades da Amazônia é contribuir em um processo contínuo de aprendizagem, no qual povos, comunidades, técnicos e pesquisadores estejam preferencialmente trabalhando juntos e construindo, de forma cada vez mais sólida, os saberes sobre o manejo de PFNMs. Não havendo, entretanto, o intuito ou pretensão de tratar de indicações definitivas ou de determinar um caminho único para se alcançar bons resultados.

Biodiversität in Österreich
   

Österreich verfügt über eine grosse Vielfalt an Arten und Lebensräumen. Das vorliegende Buch gibt erstmals einen Überblick über wesentliche Aspekte der Biodiversität in Österreich, die etwa 67 000 Pflanzen- und Tierarten umfasst und beinahe 500 Biotoptypen unterscheidet. Landesweite Darstellungen und Analysen der Moos-, Gefässpflanzen-, Brutvogel- und Biotoptypenvielfalt werden ergänzt durch regionale Untersuchungen zur Diversität der Heuschrecken und Säugetiere. Einen weiteren Schwerpunkt bildet eine vergleichende Biodiversitätsanalyse der Agrarlandschaften im Osten Österreichs. Dieser Band, in dem fundierte und kenntnisreiche Beiträge von 27 Autoren vereint sind, bietet wichtige Grundlagen für das Verständnis der räumlichen Verteilung der Biodiversität und richtet sich insbesondere an alle, die in den Bereichen Biologie, Landschaftsökologie und Raumplanung tätig sind.
