Maritime traffic effects on biodiversity in the Mediterranean Sea. Volume 2 : legal mechanisms to address maritime impacts on Mediterranean biodiversity
    Oral, Nilüfer | Simard, François

An enclosed sea such as the Mediterranean is particularly susceptible to ship-associated impacts due to the high volume of shipping routes, long history of use, shallow sensitive habitats and sensitive deep-sea ecosystems. This report describes the potential effects of maritime traffic in the Mediterranean and explores legal mechanisms that could be implemented to facilitate management and mitigation of impacts.

Mediterranean mountains in a changing world : guidelines for developing action plans
    Regato, Pedro | Salman, Rami

This book includes a set of strategic guidelines and key conservation and development issues for the Mediterranean mountains, grouped into eight priority themes, as a starting point towards the elaboration of action plans for the Mediterranean mountain chains.The book contents are based on the outputs of the rich debate that emerged from case studies and experiences debated by regional experts in a regional workshop which took place in Malaga (Spain) on 10-12 December 2007.
Status of marine protected areas in the Mediterranean sea
    Abdulla, Ameer | Gomei, Marina | Maison, Elodie | Piante, Catherine

The main aim of this report is to assess progress towards a network of ecologically representative and effectively managed MPAs that meets international obligations for conservation of the Mediterranean Sea. Specifically, results of this survey were used to measure Mediterranean progress towards the CBD targets of establishing a coherent network of MPAs by 2012 and to protect at least 10% of the Mediterranean Sea by 2010.

Evaluation de l'efficacité des aires protégées : aire protégées de la République de la Guinée
   

L'évaluation de la Guinée a révélé que le pays recèle un patrimoine unique en terme de biodiversité en Afrique de l'Ouest. Le réseau des aires protégées de Guinée est globalement représentatif de la diversité des écosystèmes du pays, et notamment, il inclut montagnes, côtes et eaux douces continentales. La proportion d'aires protégées dans la zone marine et côtière pourrait cependant augmenter. Le réseau est adéquat en terme de superficie et de positionnement des parcs, couvre les sites ayant une reconnaissance internationale mais ne les protège pas de façon efficace à l'heure actuelle.

Evaluation de l'efficacité : un cadre pour l'évaluation de l'efficacité de la gestion des aires protégées
    Hockings, Marc | Stolton, Sue | Leverington, Fiona | Dudley, Nigel | Courrau, José

The Framework for management effectiveness developed by the IUCN World Commission for Protected Areas was published in the first version of this Best Practice Guideline. It is further explained and interpreted, although not substantially altered, in this version. A number of key guidelines for good practice in evaluation are presented from many practitioners around the world, and important needs and directions for the future are identified.
Linking conservation and poverty reduction : landscapes, people and power
    Barrow, Edmund G. C. | Farvar, M. Taghi | Fisher, R. J. | Friend, Richard | Ingles, A. W. | Jackson, W. J. | Jeanrenaud, Sally | Laurie, Michelle | Maginnis, Stewart | Mehrotra, Rati | Oviedo, Gonzalo

This book looks at the rationale for addressing the links between conservation and poverty reduction, arguing that such a focus is both ethically essential and a source of opportunities. It emphasizes the importance of multiple scales and negotiating trade-offs between scales and tackles the complex issue of institutional landscapes and the way in which changes at various institutional levels can lead to different and more positive outcomes.

Directrices para la aplicación de las categorías de gestión de áreas protegidas
   

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.
A toolkit for the economic analysis of invasive species
Transición a la sostenibilidad : hacia un mundo humanitario y diverso
    Adams, W. M. (William Mark) | Jeanrenaud, Sally

The environmental movement has made huge progress over the last decades. Among others, it has raised awareness of challenges facing humanity, helped develop a critical mass of policies, and worked towards the implementation of many of these policies in collaboration with other stakeholders. Now, however, we are at a turning point in the history of the global environmental movement. In order to rise to challenges of the 21st century such as climate change and peak oil it will not be possible to do business as usual; a step change will be needed. As IUCN celebrates its 60th anniversary, and marks six decades of global conservation achievement, it is also taking stock of the urgent challenges facing life on earth and reviewing its strategies. The key to future conservation action will lie in reconciling the needs of the environment with those of society in a manner which is equitable and just, and in promoting sustainable lifestyles and livelihoods as well as protecting endangered species and spaces. This document outlines IUCN’s Future of Sustainability initiative, the rationale for its implementation and describes how the conservation movement can play new and decisive roles in the transition to sustainability.
