Promotion of sustainable aquaculture, aquatic animal health, and resource enhancement in Southeast Asia
   

In order to promote and augment regional initiatives on sustainable aquaculture, aquatic animal health and resource enhancement, and to consequently contribute to poverty alleviation, livelihood and food security, the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center/Aquaculture Department (SEAFDEC/AQD) has held a 3-day workshop on the “Promotion of Sustainable Aquaculture, Aquatic Animal Health and Resource Enhancement in Southeast Asia (SARSEA)” on 25–27 June 2019 in Iloilo City, Philippines.

The workshop discussed the issues related to sustainable aquaculture, aquatic animal health and resource enhancement, through “Country reports,” from SEAFDEC member countries, “AQD GOJ-TF6 Research Reports,” which were being carried out under the Government of Japan Trust Fund 6 from 2015 to 2019, and were presented by the AQD researchers, “Special Presentations” from the Invited Resource Speakers,” and “Workshop Discussion” for identification of research gaps and collaborative activities among member countries.

This publication is a product of the workshop and compiles information from the thirty presentations made during the event. Reports from member countries, invited experts, and SEAFDEC/AQD projects supported by the GOJ-TF on the topics of sustainable aquaculture, resource enhancement, and aquatic animal health are bared in these pages. The workshop summary, synthesizing the key points raised during the workshop, should be a valuable reference on the broad challenges we face, as well as the solutions and actions that must be done.

Land degradation neutrality
    Onyango, Vivian | Davies, Jonathan | Sharpe, N. | Maiga, S.I. | Ogali, Claire J. | Perez-Rocha, J. | Isakov, A.

In rangelands and grasslands, land degradation has an immediate and local impact by disrupting ecosystems from functioning, threatening livelihoods and negatively affecting social cohesion. It also threatens productivity while dovetailing with the threats of climate change in these ecologically fragile areas. The understanding of land degradation in rangelands and grasslands is weak, which is attributed to a lack of robust data and a misunderstanding of management objectives. The day-to-day management of land by pastoral communities is intricately linked to local and traditional knowledge that needs to be taken into account when monitoring the health of ecosystems and designing management interventions. Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 15 Life on land includes Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) as a target, which requires that the process of degradation is halted and reversed. This publication presents a rationale for participatory approaches to achieve LDN in pastoral areas while showing how this can be achieved using the Participatory Rangelands and Grasslands Assessment (PRAGA) that has been piloted in Kenya, the Niger, Burkina Faso, Uruguay and Kyrgyzstan.

Rethinking land in the Anthropocene
   

Land is the basis of human life. With climate change, the mass extinction of biological diversity and an often dysfunctional food system, we are experiencing three colliding global crises that are directly linked to the way we manage land. Yet the land and its biologically productive ecosystems are under more pressure than ever before. This is the starting point of the present report: Which strategies for managing terrestrial ecosystems are most suitable for defusing the existing competition between different forms of land use while simultaneously ensuring climate-change mitigation, biodiversity conservation and food security? How can transformative change towards sustainable land use be promoted and which actors need to be mobilized and become involved? What challenges does this pose for research and for Germany's role in global environmental and development policy?

    Neugarten, Rachel A. | Langhammer, Penny F. | Osipova, Elena | Bagstad, Kenneth J. | Bhagabati, Nirmal | Butchart, Stuart H.M. | Dudley, Nigel | Elliott, Vittoria | Gerber, Leah R. | Gutierrez Arrellano, Claudia | Ivanić, Kasandra-Zorica | Kettunen, Marianne | Mandle, Lisa | Merriman, Jennifer C. | Mulligan, Mark | Peh, Kelvin S.-H. | Raudsepp-Hearne, Ciara | Semmens, Darius J. | Stolton, Sue | Willcock, Simon

Increasing interest in measuring, modelling and valuing ecosystem services (ES), the benefits that ecosystems provide to people, has resulted in the development of an array of ES assessment tools in recent years. Selecting an appropriate tool for measuring and modelling ES can be challenging. This document provides guidance for practitioners on existing tools that can be applied to measure or model ES provided by important sites for biodiversity and nature conservation, including Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs), natural World Heritage sites (WHS), and protected areas (PAs). Selecting an appropriate tool requires identifying the specific question being addressed, what sorts of results or outputs are required, and consideration of practical factors such as the level of expertise, time and data required for applying any given tool. This guide builds on existing reviews of ES assessment tools, but has an explicit focus on assessing ES for sites of importance for biodiversity and nature conservation. 
森林景观恢复潜力评估方法指南 (ROAM)
    Laestadius, Lars | Maginnis, Stewart | Rietbergen-McCracken, Jennifer | Saint-Laurent, Carole | Shaw, Daniel | Verdone, Michael

Recent developments have seen forest landscape restoration (FLR) become widely recognized as an important means of not only restoring ecological integrity at scale but also generating additional local-to-global benefits. This handbook presents the Restoration Opportunities Assessment Methodology (ROAM), which provides a flexible and affordable framework for countries to rapidly identify and analyse FLR potential and locate special areas of opportunity at a national or sub-national level. The handbook offers practical advice and options to bear in mind when considering or conducting an FLR assessment using ROAM, as well as real-life examples of the kinds of outputs you can expect, and will enable you to commission or design a tailor-made process to meet your specific needs. This "road-test" edition of the handbook is being circulated to engage others in the process of learning about -- and improving -- the methodology. A revised version of the handbook will be published at a later date in order to integrate learning from the road-testing process.

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.
Conflicto y conservación
   

Este informe Conflicto y conservación se centra en los conflictos armados y la naturaleza. El tema es muy oportuno, ya que los conflictos armados causan grandes daños económicos y sociales, así como daños ambientales en todo el mundo. Los conflictos han llevado a sociedades a sus límites en términos de recursos financieros y humanos. Se han perdido y perturbado vidas y bienes, se han destruido medios de subsistencia y personas han sido desplazadas. Lamentablemente, las políticas para una mejor gestión y atenuación de las presiones que impulsan los conflictos armados no han podido impedir que su número alcance el nivel actual, el más alto en los 30 últimos años. Por lo tanto, la UICN explora las complejas relaciones entre naturaleza y conflictos para guiar políticas que promuevan al mismo tiempo la consolidación de la paz y la conservación. La UICN está iniciando esta Serie de Informes Insignia, para ayudar a demostrar la importancia de conservar la naturaleza para el bienestar humano y para toda la vida en la Tierra.
Conflit et conservation
   

Ce rapport Conflit et conservation met l’accent sur les conflits armés et la nature. Le sujet est tout à fait opportun, car les conflits armés causent de graves dommages économiques et sociaux, ainsi que des dommages environnementaux, partout dans le monde. Les conflits ont poussé les sociétés à leurs limites en termes de ressources financières et humaines. Des vies et des biens ont été perdus et perturbés, des moyens de subsistance détruits et des personnes déplacées. Malheureusement, les politiques visant à mieux gérer et à modérer les pressions à l’origine des conflits armés n’ont pas été en mesure d’empêcher leur nombre d’atteindre leur niveau le plus élevé depuis 30 ans. L’UICN explore donc les relations complexes entre la nature et les conflits afin d’éclairer les politiques visant à mieux faire progresser à la fois la consolidation de la paix et la conservation. L’UICN lance cette série de apports phares dans le but d’aider à démontrer l’importance de la conservation de la nature pour le bien-être humain et toute vie sur Terre.
Gender-based violence and environment linkages
    Castañeda Carney, I. | Sabater, L. | Owren, C. | Boyer, A. E.

This summary for policy makers synthesises key issues, findings and recommendations from IUCN’s Gender-based violence and environment linkages: the violence of inequality (Castañeda et al., 2020). Bringing together existing and new evidence from across sectors and spheres, the publication serves as a robust reference for policy makers, researchers and programming and project practitioners at all levels to understand  interlinked issues and forge rights-based, gender-responsive interventions across environment-related contexts. It also informs environment-responsive gender equality interventions, especially those focused on eliminating gender-based violence.
全球社会挑战应对之道：基于自然的解决方案
   

This report has been prepared as part of an effort by IUCN to define its position on Nature-based Solutions (NbS) and plan for future work to advance this concept and support effective implementation of NbS to enhance ecosystem services provision and address societal challenges. The report proposes a definitional framework for NbS, including a set of general principles for any NbS intervention. The report also defines the scope of NbS as an umbrella concept embracing a number of different ecosystem-based approaches.
Using ecosystem risk assessment science in ecosystem restoration
    Valderrábano, Marcos | Nelson, Cara | Nicholson, Emily | Etter, Andrés | Carwardine, Josie | Hallett, James G. | McBreen, James | Botts, Emily

Recent global initiatives in ecosystem restoration offer an unprecedented opportunity to improve biodiversity conservation and human health and well-being. Ecosystems form a core component of biodiversity. They provide humans with multiple benefits – a stable climate and breathable air; water, food and materials; and protection from disaster and disease. Ecosystem restoration, as defined by the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, includes a range of management interventions that aim to reduce impacts on and assist in the recovery of ecosystems that have been damaged, degraded or destroyed. This Guide promotes the application of the science of ecosystem risk assessment, which involves measuring the risk of ecosystem collapse, in ecosystem restoration. It explores how the IUCN Red List of Ecosystems and ecosystem restoration can be jointly deployed to reduce risk of ecosystem collapse.
Tabe'a III
    Abulhawa, Tarek | Cummings, Tricia | Kassem, Selma

Tabe’a III addresses the status and trends in the implementation of the World Heritage Convention in the Arab region during the period from 2015 to 2019. This review was conducted in the context of emerging global trends and priorities associated with the World Heritage Convention, as well as other related global natural heritage platforms and programmes. Tabe’a III documents progress made in the conservation of natural and mixed World Heritage sites in the Arab region, as well as providing an update on the state of conservation of natural sites. Additionally, special themes address key priorities which have emerged from heritage protection, conservation challenges and opportunities arising in the region. Finally, there is a summary update on the Arab States’ lists of possible candidate sites, known as Tentative Lists, with notes on their development since the Tabe’a II report.
