Rezervácia Abrod bola vyhlásená v roku 1964 a svojou hodnotou z hľadiska biodiverzity patrí k najvýznamnejším rezerváciám Borskej nížiny, ako aj celého Slovenska. Na jej území sa organizácia DAPHNE v spolupráci so správou Chránenej krajinnej oblasti Záhorie od roku 1994 venuje aktivitám na pochopenie ekologických zákonitostí a zachovanie rezervácie.

Winter sport tourism is struggling with overcapacity. Demand is stagnating. Nevertheless expansion plans worth billions are being drawn up. The study impressively demonstrates the expansion drive of the cable car industry and shows how the public sector is involved. It also presents the expansion plans in detail and then leads to a catalogue of improvement measures. The authors make it clear that sustainable tourism planning is necessary for today's ski tourism.

The following action plan details a strategy for protecting 80% of the surviving chimpanzees in West Africa at a cost of US$9 million. The plan resulted from a recent workshop in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, where an international group of 72 biologists, protected areas managers, government officials, and other experts met to discuss priority actions for protecting chimpanzees in West Africa. A key feature of this plan is the protection of chimpanzee habitat, an approach that would also benefit numerous other threatened species in a region that ranks among the world's most biologically diverse. 

   

This publication is the proceedings for a satellite event on Biodiversity and the Ecosystem Approach in Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, held on the occasion of the Ninth Regular Session of the Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture, in FAO, Rome, 12-13 October 2002. An informal presentation of the Satellite Event’s discussions and results was given on 16 October 2002. About 100 participants attended the day and a half event. The meeting aimed to improve awareness of the importance of biological diversity, through concrete cases from around the world, and to support the integration of the ecosystem approach applied to all types of production systems and policies and within biodiversity programmes and plans.

The authors begin by highlighting the role that the Apennine system -- one of the major European mountain systems -- can play in the building of a European Ecological Network and, more generally, in nature conservation and the improvement of the quality of the environment in the Euro-Mediterranean context. The authors also outline potential scenarios and briefly describe the strategies that the APE Project intends to develop.
