The forest landscape restoration handbook (Chinese version)
   

The first practical hands-on guide to repairing the damage done by irresponsible forest activity, explaining how to increase the resilience of landscapes and the communities they support. Pools expert knowledge from world authorities in the field, using research backed by respected institutions such as ITTO and the IUCN. It is an addition to the Earthscan Forestry Library, the indispensable resource for practitioners, planners, policy makers and students. This book, authored and collected by leading international authorities in the field of forestry, is the first comprehensive, practical treatment of Forest Landscape Restoration (FLR). As an approach to conservation, FLR provides a complementary framework to sustainable forest management and the ecosystem approach in landscapes in cases where forest loss has caused a decline in the quality of ecosystem services. The main aim of FLR is not to re-establish pristine forest, even if this were possible, rather the objective is to strengthen the resilience of landscapes and thereby keep future management options open. It also aims to support communities as they strive to increase and sustain the benefits they derive from the management of land. The result here is an indispensable, easy-to-read handbook for practitioners in all aspects of forestry and natural resource management.

Guidelines for applying protected area management categories (Japanese version)
   

IUCN’s Protected Areas Management Categories, which classify protected areas according to their management objectives, are today accepted as the benchmark for defining, recording and classifying protected areas.They are recognized by international bodies such as the United Nations as well as many national governments. As a result, they are increasingly being incorporated into government legislation. These guidelines provide as much clarity as possible regarding the meaning and application of the Categories. They describe the definition of the Categories and discuss application in particular biomes and management approaches.
Defining protected areas : an international conference in Almeria, Spain, May 2007
    Dudley, Nigel | Stolton, Sue
The “Categories Summit” which is reported in these proceedings was a major contribution to the revision of the IUCN protected area management categories. The proceedings are published in a spirit of openness and to provide easy access to much of the background thinking that led to the revised publication. The Summit took place in 2007, these proceedings are being published in 2008 as a source document at the same time as the revised categories.
Outstanding universal value : standards for Natural World Heritage (Arabic version)
Management planning for natural World Heritage properties : a resource manual for practitioners (Arabic version)
   

World Heritage properties are some of the most unique places on our planet because of the range of outstanding and unique natural or cultural features and values that they contain. Like anything precious these places need to be protected and cared for responsibly. The purpose of this manual is to help those responsible for managing World Heritage properties with natural values by suggesting what they need to think about when producing a management plan for their property.
Natural World Heritage nominations : a resource manual for practitioners (Arabic version)
    Badman, Tim | Bomhard, Bastian | Dingwall, P. R. (Paul Richard)

This Resource Manual represents IUCN’s advice to States Parties which are considering nominating a natural or mixed property for World Heritage status. Preparing a World Heritage nomination is not a simple task and interested parties are encouraged to carefully analyse the situation, taking the time needed to ensure a sound process that is closely linked to ensuring effective management of the property and cooperation with communities and stakeholders. IUCN strongly recommends this Manual be read - alongside the Operational Guidelines of the World Heritage Convention - before deciding whether or not to nominate a property and then to follow this guidance and the Operational Guidelines carefully, while also seeking broad input to the process, if it is decided to proceed with the World Heritage nomination.

Development of climate change scenarios
   

This report documents the modelled scenarios of local climate variability due to global climatic change, using the projected climate changes to modify the “no change”, 76-year long, monthly sub-catchment rainfall sequences, and average monthly evaporation values that serve as input to the hydrological catchment model that has been configured and calibrated for the Pangani Basin.
