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.

企業の生物多様性パフォーマンスの計画策定 及びモニタリングのためのガイドライン
    Stephenson, Peter J. | Carbone, Giulia

These guidelines offer an approach for developing a corporate-level biodiversity strategic plan, including measurable goals and objectives and a set of core linked  indicators, that will allow companies to measure their biodiversity performance across their operations. The Guidelines can be used by any company in any sector that has impacts and dependencies on biodiversity, whether large or small, national or multinational. They are aimed at sustainability teams, managers and other company staff whose roles include strategic planning and reporting related to biodiversity. The focus is on a full-cycle, results-based management approach (not just risk analyses, goal setting or indicator development), since assessing pressures on biodiversity, and planning and developing measurable goals, are key prerequisites for monitoring. They also explain how, by choosing and using appropriate core indicators and building internal capacity and partnerships, companies can aggregate and use biodiversity data at the corporate level in a meaningful way.
National fisheries fish spawning calendar for Lebanon
    Sayar, Nancy | Bariche, Michel

This spawning calendar gathers information for commercial marine fish native to Lebanon. Fish samples were collected from various ports around the country and thoroughly analysed, providing some valuable insight on the native fish population. Considered essential for future fishery management plans, it will in turn contribute to a more efficient, sustainable management of the marine ecosystems.
其他有效的区域保护措施 识别与报告指南
   

In November 2018, Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity adopted at the 14th Conference of the Parties a definition of an "other effective area-based conservation measure" (OECM) as well as guiding principles, common characteristics and criteria for identification of OECMs (CBD/COP/DEC/14/8). OECMs may be managed for many different objectives but they must deliver effective conservation. They may be managed with conservation as a primary or secondary objective or long-term conservation may simply be the ancillary result of management activities. OECMs can contribute to ecologically representative and well-connected conservation systems, integrated within wider landscapes and seascapes, and in doing so, generate a range of positive conservation outcomes. The WCPA Task Force on OECMs has produced these guidelines to assist Parties in interpreting and operationalising Decision 14/8 and to start to develop a body of good practice around recognising and reporting OECMs. It is designed for application at various scales, ranging from understanding whether an individual area is an OECM to reporting OECM statistics at the national and global level as a means to assess progress on achieving conservation targets.

Enhancing Nature-Based Solutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina
    Kapović Solomun, Marijana

The overall purpose of this scoping study is to provide a state-of-the-art overview of the context in regard to the application of Nature-Based Solutions approaches for climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction in Bosnia and Herzogovina.
Enhancing Nature-Based Solutions in Serbia
    Popovicki, Tanja

This scoping study has been developed to enable better understanding of the Serbian national context, in terms of the institutional, policy and legal framework and reveal the key challenges for the application of Nature-Based Solutions along with the recommendations and entry points for the mainstreaming of Nature-Based Solutions into national disaster risk reduction and climate change policies and strategies.
Becoming a conservation entrepreneur
   

Drawing on examples from the tech and startup sectors, IUCN developed the idea of an incubator to identify and nurture ideas coming from protected and conservation area managers and stakeholders who lack the knowledge, resources, or professional contacts to make them a reality: the IUCN Incubator for Nature Conservation (INC). The objective of the present document is to pull together the key lessons, examples and resources generated through the INC pilot projects to inform future conservation finance projects and help bridge the gap between conservation and investment.
Aquaculture and Nature-based Solutions
   

Aquaculture production has very significantly increased in tonnage and value over the last decades. It is seen as a potential solution to replace the declining wild fishery stocks. This publication is a first attempt to examine aquaculture systems within the recent framework of the IUCN Global Standard for Nature-based Solutions (NbS). It reviews the critical contextual situation, highlighting major issues related to climate change, biodiversity losses and endangered marine ecosystems. It stresses the need for new approaches, such as the concept of NbS, to improve human ability to implement sustainable development and to reach the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Situation analysis on the roles and risks of wildlife in the emergence of human infectious diseases
    Kock, Richard | Caceres-Escobar, Hernan

This situation analysis presents a thorough, evidence-based examination of the relationship between wildlife and zoonosis, wildlife and emerging human pathogens and associated diseases, their origins, drivers, and risk factors. There is considerable divergence of opinion around the subject both within and outside the biodiversity conservation community and given the ontological challenges and highly different perspectives, contradictory narrative is unsurprising. Context is all-important and to clarify this in the analysis, the evidence of human diseases coming from wildlife is compared to diseases emerging from domestic animals and humans themselves, to provide context and proportions of the relative risk. The report highlights key knowledge, and provides perspective on where research, policy, interventions, and capacity building are needed to reduce risks of zoonoses and emergent animal-origin human diseases globally.
Multistakeholder participation in organising forest and farm smallholders
Restauración de los ecosistemas basada en la ciencia para la década de 2020 y más allá
   

This think piece presents recommendations of the Science Task Force (STF) of the UN Decade for Ecosystem Restoration, led by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and comprised of leading subject experts as specific actions to be undertaken by public and private stakeholders to sustain and restore the diverse and functioning ecosystems essential for human wellbeing and the preservation of biodiversity. These are to be aligned with ongoing efforts to scale up the prevention and reversal of ecosystem degradation globally. It provides a framework of questions, key messages and recommendations.
Зүйл хамгааллын төлөвлөлтийн удирдамж : Хувилбар 1.0
   

These Guidelines aim to be equally relevant for any taxon on Earth. Recent experience has shown that no two planning situations are the same. So while the principles of planning may be constant, the purpose of the planning and the circumstances, the information available and its accuracy, and other factors, all combine to make every situation unique. This then demands a planning process that is both rigorous in analysis but flexible in its application. The Guidelines are very much an evolution based on experience, rather than a fundamental replacement of the 2008 Handbook (Strategic Planning for Species: A Handbook).
Richtlinien zum Schutz des Geo-Naturerbes in Schutz- und Erhaltunggebieten
    Crofts, Roger | Gordon, J. E. (John E.) | Brilha, José | Gray, Murray | Gunn, John | Larwood, Jonathan | Santucci, Vincent L. | Tormey, Daniel | Worboys, Graeme L.

Dieser Richtlinie soll dazu beitragen, die Erhaltung und das Management des Geo-Naturerbes und der Geodiversität in Schutz- und Erhaltungsgebieten zu verbessern und die Zusammenhänge und Wechselwirkungen mit biologischen Merkmalen und Prozessen zu erkennen. Sie sind kein Lehrbuch für das Management des Schutzes des Geo-Naturerbes, sondern stellen vielmehr den wesentlichen Hintergrund, den Kontext und die Prinzipien dar. Die Verwendung von Best-Practice-Beispielen aus der ganzen Welt wird den Nutzern hoffentlich neues Vertrauen in die Pflege des Geo-Naturerbes und in die Verbindung zwischen Schutz des Geo-Naturerbes und Biodiversitätsschutz geben.
Diretrizes para a geoconservação em áreas protegidas
    Crofts, Roger | Gordon, J. E. (John E.) | Brilha, José | Gray, Murray | Gunn, John | Larwood, Jonathan | Santucci, Vincent L. | Tormey, Daniel | Worboys, Graeme L.

Estas Diretrizes destinam-se a ajudar a melhorar a conservação e gestão do patrimônio geológico e da geodiversidade em áreas protegidas e a promover o reconhecimento das inter-relações e interações com aspectos e processos biológicos. Não se trata de um livro sobre práticas de gestão de geoconservação, mas antes uma apresentação dos antecedentes, contexto e princípios essenciais. Os exemplos de boas práticas de todo o mundo oferecem aos leitores uma confiança renovada no tratamento do patrimônio geológico e na relação da geoconservação com a conservação da biodiversidade.
