Guidelines for management planning of protected areas (Japanese version)
    Middleton, Julie | Thomas, Lee

A Management Plan is a document which sets out the management approach and goals, together with a framework for decision making, to apply in a specific protected area over a given period of time. Critical to the plan is the widest possible consultation with stakeholders and the development of objectives that can be agreed and adhered to by all who have an interest in the use and ongoing survival of the area concerned. These Guidelines, based on global best practice drawn from many areas around the world, represent a working framework for protected area planners to consider and adapt to their needs and circumstances.
Biodiversity of agricultural lands in Russia : current state and trends
    Smelansky, Ilya E.

The report reviews a specific, usually ignored aspect of agricultural lands existence - their role in biological and landscape diversity conservation. The report summarizes the impact of agriculture on biodiversity and the usefulness of biodiversity for commercial use of lands. Particular attention is given to the current situation and trends witnessed in the last decade. In accordance with the objectives of the report the political aspects of the problem of agricultural lands' biodiversity conservation are identified; most of them are due to the fact that this problem is completely misunderstood by society. Finally, the report outlines the position of environmental non-governmental organizations on the issue of agricultural lands' biodiversity conservation which was mainly expressed at the Pan-European High-Level Conference on Agriculture and Biodiversity (Paris, June 2002).

Rehabilitation and restoration of degraded forests (Chinese version)
    Gilmour, D. A. (Donald Allan) | Lamb, David

Large areas of the world’s forests have been lost or degraded and landscapes everywhere are being simplified by current land-use practices. In this publication, Lamb and Gilmour present approaches to restoring and rehabilitating the vast areas of degraded, fragmented and modified forests which cover much of the world. They argue that by applying best practice at the site level it is possible to enhance socio-economic and ecological gains at the landscape level. This book provides an important contribution towards the objectives of the Forest Landscape Restoration approach and is essential reading for practitioners and decision makers involved in forest restoration.

Typologie et problématique environnementale des zones humides de la rive gauche du Sénégal
   

L'UICN a favorisé la mise en place au Sénégal et dans d'autres pays d'un réseau sur les zones humides. Le but du réseau est de développer, à long terme, une stratégie nationale de planification et de gestion des zones humides. En 1995, le fleuve Sénégal a été identifié comme site devant faire l'objet d'une attention particulière. Dans ce cadre, une équipe pluridisciplinaire a procédé à la typologie et à l'étude des problèmes environnementaux des zones humides existants dans la partie sénégalaise du bassin. Les termes de référence comprennent la classification et l'identification des zones. L'étude prend aussi en compte la définition et l'état des lieux de l'environnement des zones humides suite à l'aménagement du fleuve.
