West African chimpanzees : status survey and conservation action plan
    Bakarr, Mohamed I. | Boesch, Christophe | Butynski, Thomas M. | Kormos, Rebecca

Wild chimpanzees are only found in tropical Africa, where their populations have declined by more than 66% in the last 30 years. This action plan focuses on one of the four chimpanzee subspecies, the western chimpanzee, which is one of the two subspecies most threatened with extinction. The aim of this publication is to halt or reverse the decline in chimpanzee numbers in West Africa by increasing awareness of their plight and by presenting a plan for action that represents a consensus among all parties concerned with the conservation of chimpanzees.

2003 United Nations list of protected areas
    Blyth, Simon | Chape, Stuart | Fish, Lucy | Fox, Phillip | Spalding, Mark

This UN List is the thirteenth produced since 1962 and the first version to attempt a comprehensive presentation of all the world’s known protected areas. The introductory text presents an analysis and the accompanying CD lists more than 102,000 sites covering 18.8 million sq. km. Significant progress has been made in conserving representative areas of the world’s terrestrial biomes, although some, including Lake Systems and Temperate Grasslands, remain under-represented. It is an essential reference document for all who want to understand the progress made in responding to the challenges of biodiversity loss and other environmental threats around the world. Published in collaboration with IUCN WCPA, UNEP and UNEP-WCMC.
Commercial non-timber forest products of the Guiana Shield : an inventory of commercial NTFP extraction and possibilities for sustainable harvesting
    Andel, Tinde van | Bánki, Olaf S. | MacKinven, Amy

With 2.5 million square kilometers of largely intact tropical rainforest and savannah, 10-15% of the world’s fresh water reserves and an extremely rich and highly endemic biodiversity, the Guiana Shield ranks among the most important ecological regions in the world. This report highlights the Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) of the Guiana Shield. The data, conclusions and recommendations on monitoring the chains of NTFPs from harvest to consumer, on certification and on integrating NTFPs into forest management should assist both public policy and the private sector to operate more responsibly and sustainably.
The harmonization of Red Lists for threatened species in Europe : proceedings of an international seminar in Leiden
    Bánki, Olaf S. | Bergmans, Wim | Iongh, Hans H. de | Werff ten Bosch, M.J. van der

Red Lists are valuable for informing species protection policy and are important as indicators as well as a tool for communication between all those involved in species protection. There are some 3,700 Red Lists in use across Europe, but the approach, aims and criteria used vary widely. A partial result of this is that Red List Species are rarely used for European ecological networks and play a modest role in the updating of the Wild Birds and Habitats directives. Great harmonisation in methodology and approaches of Red Lists would help to enhance impact on European Policy.
