Implementation of natura 2000 in new EU members states of Central Europe : assessment report
    Metera, Dorota | Pezold, Tomasz | Piwowarski, Wojciech

The implementation of Natura 2000 in the New EU Member States of Central Europe is a long process which began with the signing of Accession Treaties in the beginning of the 1990s and will continue for several years. Environmental NGOs have been lobbying for proper designation and implementation of Natura 2000 sites with the involvement of civil society. This publication, prepared by several experts from nature protection organisations, gives a picture of this process. It is maybe too early to assess how successful the implementation of Natura 2000 in the New EU Member States of Central Europe has been, but it gives examples of good practice in the designation process and public consultations; it also illustrates where problems can appear and how to avoid them. The text is based upon questionnaires sent out to NGOs of eight new Central European Member States of the EU. Comments are often subjective and according to the individual authors of the questionnaires, which have been edited together to form a country-by-country panorama.
Plan d'action régional pour la conservation des chimpanzés en Afrique de l'Ouest
Regional action plan for the conservation of chimpanzees and gorillas in Western Equatorial Africa
    Tutin, C.

In some areas of western equatorial Africa, ape populations have declined by more than 50% over the last twenty years. By far the most serious short-term threats to apes in this region are poaching and disease epidemics. In the longer term, however, it is believed that habitat loss and disturbance will become as serious a threat as hunting and disease. The world’s leading experts agree that the investment and actions described in this plan constitute the best strategy for preserving wild chimpanzees and gorilla populations in western equatorial Africa. Implementation of the recommendations will make a significant difference to the survival of great apes in this region.

    Powell, Robert | Henderson, Robert W. | Parmerlee, John S., Jr.

The first in a series of guides to the natural environments of St. Eustatius (Statia), Saba and St. Maarten, this book describes the reptiles and amphibians of these islands. It also gives the reader an overview of the geological and geographical natural history of the islands, an introduction to the herpetofauna of the region and a survey of relevant conservation issues. The intent of the guides is to foster an appreciation of the islands' fragile natural resources and to enhance awareness of conservation issues that continue to be affected by development.

Food safety in the new member states : implementation of the acquis communautaire and communication to farmers and consumers
   

Since 2004, the ten new Member States of the European Union found themselves in a new political and legal environment. After accession to the EU, the key task of the governments of the „ten” is to reach a balance between co-operation to introduce sustainable, efficient and effective policies dealing with consumer protection, sustainable development and food safety at the EU level on one hand; and on the other hand, to provide services and activities on national, regional and local levels, responding to the diverse social, ecological and economic situations in each Member State.

Overview of wetlands status in Viet Nam following 15 years of Ramsar Convention implementation
   

This report has been developed through a collation and analysis of reliable, up-to-date data, using an interdisciplinary approach and also recognizing that wetland ecosystems should be conserved and developed in a sustainable manner. It consists of three parts and six annexes (summary of the Ramsar Convention; Viet Nam wetland classification by MARD; maps of wetlands in Viet Nam; wetland sites of biodiversity and environmental value in Viet Nam; economic valuation of selected wetlands in Viet Nam; and list of selected legal documents related to wetlands). It is anticipated that this report could serve as a valuable reference for managers, policy makers, researchers, post graduate students and others whose work relates to wetlands. It could also serve as a milestone marking processes and trends in conservation and management of wetlands in Viet Nam over the last 15 years, and presenting recommendations for the country's wetland management in the future.

Catchment ecosystems and downstream water : the value of water resources in the Pangani basin, Tanzania
    Turpie, Jane | Ngaga, Yonika M. | Karanja, Francis

With increasing demands on the water of the Pangani River Basin, coupled with a decreasing catchment runoff due to climate change, water resources are becoming increasingly scarce, and leading to conflicts among users. The objectives of the study described here were to provide first-cut estimates of the value of water in different uses, as well as to review various issues and economic tools pertaining to water resource allocation and financing mechanisms for Integrated River Basin Management. The application of economic tools to water resource management issues in the Pangani River Basin is considered to be an important step towards resolving water user conflicts and improving water allocation and management processes.
