Graupapageien
    Lepperhoff, Lars

Erstmals wird in diesem Buch das bisher äußerst verborgene Leben der Graupapageien in der Natur geschildert. Spannende Reportagen nehmen den Leser mit in die Wälder Zentralafrikas und auf einsame Inseln vor der Küste. Der Schlüssel zur artgerechten Haltung der beiden Unterarten Timneh-Graupapagei und Graupapagei sind die Kenntnisse über ihr Freileben. Für ein langfristiges Wohlergehen und Jungenaufzucht brauchen die Vögel geräumige Zimmervolieren oder ein Vogelhaus mit angrenzender Außenvoliere, Sozialkontakte und Beschäftigung. Neue Erkenntnisse zu Auswirkungen der Handaufzucht auf das spätere Verhalten der Vögel sowie die Probleme, die immer wieder bei der Haltung auftreten, werden differenziert beleuchtet. Wichtig ist der verständnisvolle Umgang mit den Graupapageien, deren diffizile Psyche viel zu oft missverstanden wurde.

Schwyzer Moore im Wandel
   

Seit 1987 gelten die Hoch- und Flachmoore in der Schweiz als geschützt, dank der Rothenthurm-Initiative. Die Moorlandschaft Nummer 1 Rothenthurm–Altmatt liegt im Kanton Schwyz und es ist mehr als verständlich, dass daraus eine besondere Verantwortung erwächst. Die Schwyzerische Naturforschende Gesellschaft nimmt diese Verantwortung wahr: Sie liefert mit der vorliegenden Publikation eine Übersicht zur Verbreitung, zum Zustand und zur steten Veränderung der Schwyzer Moore. Die wissenschaftlichen Beiträge zeigen in eindrücklicher Weise auf, wie zahlreiche Vogelarten, Amphibien, Schmetterlinge und Libellen ausschliesslich in diesem Lebensraum ihre Heimat finden. Aufschlussreich sind auch die Beiträge zur Gefährdung dieses Lebensraumes. So zeigen die vorliegenden Untersuchungen, dass die Schwyzer Moore insgesamt auch in den letzten Jahren verloren haben – vor allem an Qualität, etwas weniger an Quantität. Qualitätsverlust ist nicht nur in der Ökonomie, sondern auch in der Ökologie ein bedenklicher Trend!

Connectivity conservation : international experience in planning, establishment and management of biodiversity corridors
    Moore, Patricia | Shadie, Peter

This background paper surveys international experience in the development and use of mechanisms to establish and manage connectivity conservation. Specifically it seeks to provide an understanding of the range of mechanisms including laws, regulations, and other regulatory instruments and agreements which have been used in other countries to support connectivity conservation. The information in this background paper will enable practitioners in Viet Nam to understand what other countries have learned from experience with connectivity conservation and to adapt approaches to the national context. This review draws upon examples and case studies from the literature and from the knowledge of experts in IUCN’s technical networks.

Guidelines for the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity in tropical timber production forests
   

The objective of these guidelines is to help foresters and forest planners improve the contribution of tropical production forests to global efforts to conserve biodiversity. They are intended to update and replace the 1993 ITTO Guidelines for the Conservation of Biological Diversity in Tropical Production Forests.
Guidelines for strategic adaptive management : experiences from managing the rivers of the Kruger National Park
    Du Toit, Derick | Pollard, Sharon

This guidelines outlines one management tool, strategic adaptive management, that has been developed by the staff and managers of Kruger National Park. This approach recognises and is responsive to global change factors in a realistic and practical manner. The guideline aims to present an overview of strategic adaptive management practice, or SAM, as it has emerged within the specific context of Kruger National Park. The specific illustrative context that we use is that of rivers which have undergone enormous change. 
The winds of change : climate, weather, and the destruction of civilizations
    Linden, Eugene

Climate has been humanity's constant, if moody, companion. Eugene Linden reveals a recurring pattern in which civilizations become prosperous and complacent during good weather, only to collapse when climate changes -- either through its direct effects, such as floods or drought, or indirect consequences, such as disease, blight, and civil disorder. The Winds of Change places climate change, global warming, and the resulting instability in historical context and sounds an urgent warning for the future.
La comunicación, educación y conciencia pública (CEPA) : una caja de herramienta para personas que coordinan las estrategias nacionales de biodiversidad y los planes de acción
    Dela, Jinie | Garnett, Tommy | Goldstein, Wendy | Hesselink, Frits | van Kempen, Peter Paul

Communication, Education and Public Awareness (CEPA) are important instruments for conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity. CEPA provides the link from science and ecology to people’s social and economic reality. It supplies the oil for the implementation of the Convention on Biological Diversity and deals with the processes that motivate and mobilize individual and collective action. It comprises a range of social instruments including information exchange, dialogue, education, and marketing. The toolkit has been developed by the IUCN Commission on Education and Communication (CEC) for the Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity. It is meant for CBD focal points and those responsible for the implementation of National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plans (NBSAP). The toolkit offers information to update knowledge and skills with fact sheets, checklists and practical examples from all over the world.
