Guidelines for using A global standard for the identification of Key Biodiversity Areas : version 1.2
   

Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) are sites that contribute significantly to the global persistence of biodiversity. The purpose of the Guidelines for using A Global Standard for the Identification of Key Biodiversity Areas is to ensure that KBA identification is based on consistent, scientifically rigorous yet practical methods. The KBA Guidelines provide an overview of the steps for identifying and delineating KBAs, together with explanation of how the KBA criteria, thresholds and delineation procedures should be applied in practice. The KBA Guidelines should be used hand-in-hand with the KBA Standard (IUCN, 2016).

Illegal trade in wildlife has increased dramatically over the past decade; however, so have enforcement efforts aimed at mitigating this threat. Successful enforcement often involves the seizure and confiscation of wild species from diverse taxa of plants, animals and fungi. These confiscations may be parts of non-living specimens in the form of artefacts, food or medicinal products but, in many cases, they involve live individuals. With increasingly frequent confiscations and often high numbers of individuals involved, it is important that best practice management approaches are followed to maximise the conservation role and the individual welfare of these plants and animals. These Guidelines aim to provide guidance on this best practice.

Selecting species and populations for monitoring of genetic diversity
    Hvilsom, C. | Segelbacher, G. | Ekblom, R. | Fischer, M.C. | Laikre, L. | Leus, K. | O'Brien, J. | Shaw, R. | Sork, V.

One of the main challenges for conservation today is monitoring and understanding changes in biodiversity. Genetic diversity provides the foundation for biodiversity and is necessary for long-term survival, adaptation, and resilience not only for individuals, but also for populations, species, and entire ecosystems. Monitoring genetic diversity across different time points is a first step to gain insight into the extent to which populations or species might be at risk, to guide conservation action and to provide evidence for solutions. This guidance document aims to be a resource that guides the reader through the decision and evaluation processes that take place when designing a genetic diversity monitoring programme and identifying the most appropriate set of species or populations to monitor. This guidance document is intended for practitioners (including governmental agencies, NGOs, but also locally responsible conservationists such as land managers) who need to monitor genetic diversity of species in the wild.
Malette pédagogique pour l'outil intégré sur l'efficacité de gestion
    Paolini, Carlo | Rakotobe, Domoina

La Malette pédagogique est le manuel de la version 2 de l’outil intégré sur l’efficacité de gestion (IMET, en anglais) et de coaching ou action d’accompagnement professionnel des équipes de gestion des aires protégées. IMET est un outil d’aide à la décision destiné à faire avancer le processus de planification-suivi-évaluation pour améliorer l’efficacité de la gestion des aires protégées. Il est adapté à toutes les aires protégées, indépendamment de leur catégorie de gestion et de gouvernance. IMET recueille, organise et visualise les données relatives aux aires protégées pour en faciliter l’analyse et orienter la prise de décisions pour la planification, la gestion et l’organisation des opérations.

A solution package for plastic pollution – from measurement to action
   

Knowledge gathered over the past four years in the IUCN Close the Plastic Tap programme is the basis of this publication. It presents a summary of methodologies, results, and key lessons learned from the use of the UNEP/IUCN National Guidance for Plastic Pollution Hotspotting and Shaping Action in Kenya, Menorca (Spain), Mozambique, Republic of Cyprus, South Africa, Thailand, United Republic of Tanzania, and Viet Nam. The key takeaway from this research is that there is a pressing need to use sciencebased plastic leakage assessments to drive policy and behavioural changes that will reduce plastic pollution. Furthermore, IUCN’s comprehensive methodology and tools provide a holistic package to build capacity for stakeholders to understand and manage marine plastic pollution.

These guidelines address planning and management of privately protected areas (PPAs) and the guidance is aimed principally at practitioners and policy makers, who are or may be involved with PPAs. Guidance is given on all aspects of PPA establishment, management and reporting, and information is provided on principles and best practices, with examples drawn from many different parts of the world. The aim of these guidelines is to shape the application of IUCN policy and principles towards enhanced effectiveness and conservation outcomes, focused on PPA managers and administrators. Not all the guidance will necessarily apply in all social, political and economic contexts. However, learning from best practices around the world and considering how these can be incorporated at site or national level may improve the likelihood of success in private conservation and suggest how conditions might be improved to favour PPAs and thus capitalise on the opportunities they present.
Guidelines for cave and karst protection : second edition
   

These guidelines provide an update and expansion of the original Guidelines for Cave and Karst Protection, published in 1997. The original guidelines were primarily concerned with geoheritage, and while this remains an important consideration in this second edition, it also covers the biological issues involved in cave and karst conservation. The protection of surface and underground karst ecosystems is particularly relevant to Goal 15 of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss). These guidelines also have relevance for Sustainable Development Goal 6 (Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all), as ~10% of the world's population gain their water supplies fro karst, either from discrete springs or from karst groundwater. The new guidelines build and expand on the Guidelines for geoconservation in protected and conserved areas (Crofts et al.,2020), by specifically considering the protection and conservation of geodiversity, geoheritage and ecology in karst and cave areas, wherever they occur.

Horizon du patrimoine mondial de l’UICN 3
    Osipova, Elena | Emslie-Smith, Matthew | Osti, Matea | Murai, Mizuki | Åberg, Ulrika | Shadie, Peter

L’Horizon du patrimoine mondial de l’UICN 3 s’appuie sur les trois cycles des Évaluations des perspectives de conservation réalisées depuis 2014. Il présente les principaux résultats pour 2020, mais aussi certaines tendances à plus long terme, en se basant sur une comparaison des trois ensembles de données aujourd’hui disponibles. Il peut donc servir d’indicateur de l’efficacité des aires protégées et conservées, à un moment où la communauté internationale cherche à mesurer les avancées vers la réalisation des objectifs mondiaux de la biodiversité, et définit son Cadre mondial pour la biodiversité pour l’après-2020. Se concentrant sur les valeurs naturelles pour lesquelles ces sites sont inscrits, les menaces qui pèsent sur ces valeurs, et l’efficacité des mesures pour les protéger, l’Horizon du patrimoine mondial de l’UICN évalue les perspectives de conservation de tous les sites naturels du patrimoine mondial. Ces sites sont mondialement reconnus comme les zones naturelles les plus significatives sur terre, et leur conservation doit répondre aux normes les plus élevées de la Convention du patrimoine mondial.
