Integrating biodiversity conservation into oil and gas development
Monitoring coral reef marine protected areas, version 1 : a practical guide on how monitoring can support effective management of MPAs
    Wilkinson, Clive R. | Green, Alison | Almany, Jeanine | Dionne, Shannon

Coral reefs are at risk from many threats including global warming causing coral bleaching, over fishing or destructive fishing, pollution by sediments, nutrients and toxic chemicals, coral mining and shoreline development and unregulated tourism. Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are an important tool for marine conservation and management. This book provides practical advice on how to design and implement ecological and socio-economic monitoring programmes aimed at addressing these issues. Also included are many useful references with Internet sites.

The future we choose : vision and strategy for Russia's protected areas
Linkages in the landscape : the role of corridors and connectivity in wildlife conservation
    Bennett, Andrew F.

The loss and fragmentation of natural habitats is one of the major issues in wildlife management and conservation. Habitat "corridors" are sometimes proposed as an important element within a conservation strategy. Examples are given of corridors both as pathways and as habitats in their own right. Includes detailed reviews of principles relevant to the design and management of corridors, their place in regional approaches to conservation planning, and recommendations for research and management.
Innovative governance : indigenous peoples, local communities, and protected areas
Guidelines for management planning of protected areas
    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.
Livelihoods and climate change : combining disaster risk reduction, natural resource management and climate change adaptation in a new approach to the reduction of vulnerability and poverty
Directrices para emplear los criterios de la Lista roja de la UICN a nivel regional, version 3.0
   

These guidelines provide a logical framework for assessing species at sub-global levels; a means of sharing status information with neighbouring countries; and a suggested format for documentation and publication of listings to improve compatibility with the global IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

Rehabilitation and restoration of degraded forests
    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.
Extractive industries in arid and semi-arid zones : environmental planning and management
    Gratzfeld, Joachim

This publication aims to contribute to planning and management approaches that minimize land degradation and desertification in arid and semi-arid zones as a result of extractive industries operations. Both operational and policy guidance are included to help those government departments responsible for the licensing, planning and monitoring of extractive industries activities to take account of environment and development issues in their decision-making.
Una evaluación del progreso 2002 : el programa de la UICN
Using the ecosystem approach to implement the Convention on biological diversity : key issues and cases studies
    Smith, R. D. (Richard D.) | Maltby, Edward

The Ecosystem Approach, defined as a strategy for the management of land, water and living resources that promotes conservation and sustainable use in an equitable way, was adopted at the Second Conference of the Parties of the CBD as the primary framework for action under the Convention. It puts people and their nature resource use practices squarely at the centre of the decision-making framework. The case studies presented here were discussed at three workshops held in Southern Africa, South America and Southeast Asia. They provide practical examples of the Ecosystem Approach as well as a number of recommendations for action that are widely relevant to Parties and other bodies.
Evaluation des progrès 2002 : le programme de l'UICN
The lynx : regional features of ecology, use and protection
L'avaluació de l'educació ambiental
    Aert, Lisette van | Kaskens, Anneke | Meijberg, Wiem | Stokking, Karel

This book begins with an example of a field education centre, explains the purpose of evaluation, and outlines the thirteen steps behind the evaluation process. It also looks at the broader principle of how evaluation can be introduced as a regular activity in an organisation. It details the steps to follow in undertaking evaluation of environmental education programmes. This handbook is a useful source book for managers of non-formal environmental education programmes in protected areas, environment centres, field study centres, botanical gardens, museums or historic and cultural centres.

Protected areas in 2023 : scenarios for an uncertain future, presented to the Vth World Congress on Protected Areas, Durban, South Africa, September 2003
   

As part of the preparations for the Vth World Parks Congress, a high-level team was assembled by IUCN to consider the long-term future of protected areas. They prepared three scenarios, plausible futures, rather than predictions: The Triple Bottom Line, where economic growth, social well-being and environmental sustainability were given equal treatment; the Rainbow, a world where globalization was replaced by regional alliances; and But Your Eden, where economics ruled. All three contained surprises.
