民間保護地域ガイドライン
    Mitchell, Brent | Stolton, Sue | Bezaury-Creel, Juan | Bingham, Heather C. | Cumming, Tracey L. | Dudley, Nigel | Fitzsimons, James | Malleret-King, Delphine | Redford, Kent H. | Solano, Pedro

These guidelines address planning and management of privately protected areas (PPAs) and the guidance is aimed principally at practitioners and policy makers, who are or may be involved with PPAs. Guidance is given on all aspects of PPA establishment, management and reporting, and information is provided on principles and best practices, with examples drawn from many different parts of the world. The aim of these guidelines is to shape the application of IUCN policy and principles towards enhanced effectiveness and conservation outcomes, focused on PPA managers and administrators. Not all the guidance will necessarily apply in all social, political and economic contexts. However, learning from best practices around the world and considering how these can be incorporated at site or national level may improve the likelihood of success in private conservation and suggest how conditions might be improved to favour PPAs and thus capitalise on the opportunities they present.
Turks and Caicos rock iguana (Cyclura carinata)
   

The Endangered Turks and Caicos rock iguana, Cyclura carinata, is found only on the islands and cays of Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI), and on Booby Cay in The Bahamas, northwest of Providenciales. These iguanas now occupy less than 10 percent of their historic range largely due to the impact of invasive mammalian predators. Although conservation efforts have led to stabilisation of the population resulting in the 2020 down-listing of this species from Critically Endangered to Endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, threats persist and management efforts are needed. This document presents a comprehensive four-year plan for the conservation and management actions considered essential to ensuring the long-term survival of Cyclura carinata in the wild. This document combines knowledge and expertise from local government, local and international NGOs, the tourism industry, educators, homeowners, private island managers, civil society, and members of the IUCN SSC Iguana Specialist Group working in the TCI.
A global register of competences for threatened species recovery practitioners
   

Competence frameworks are widely used in many professional sectors, helping to develop capacity by defining and recognising the required skills, knowledge and personal attributes. Registers of competences have been developed within the conservation sector. A global register of competences for threatened species recovery practitioners is a register of competences in the form of a directory of the possible skills, knowledge and personal attributes required by practitioners working in threatened species recovery programmes around the world, in both in-situ and ex-situ contexts. This register has the potential to transform approaches to capacity development within threatened species recovery and help improve the effectiveness of this branch of conservation. Its structure largely follows that of A global register of competences for protected area practitioners (Appleton, 2016).
企业生物多样性绩效规划 与监测指南
    Stephenson, Peter J. | Carbone, Giulia

These guidelines offer an approach for developing a corporate-level biodiversity strategic plan, including measurable goals and objectives and a set of core linked  indicators, that will allow companies to measure their biodiversity performance across their operations. The Guidelines can be used by any company in any sector that has impacts and dependencies on biodiversity, whether large or small, national or multinational. They are aimed at sustainability teams, managers and other company staff whose roles include strategic planning and reporting related to biodiversity. The focus is on a full-cycle, results-based management approach (not just risk analyses, goal setting or indicator development), since assessing pressures on biodiversity, and planning and developing measurable goals, are key prerequisites for monitoring. They also explain how, by choosing and using appropriate core indicators and building internal capacity and partnerships, companies can aggregate and use biodiversity data at the corporate level in a meaningful way.

IUCN guidelines for amphibian reintroductions and other conservation translocations : first edition
   

The number of amphibian reintroductions and other conservation translocations has increased in recent decades. Amphibian reintroductions are challenging and may not always work, but amphibian reintroductions may be the best or only option for conserving some species. Clearer guidance to plan, implement, and obtain resources for amphibian reintroductions is needed to improve conservation outcomes. These Guidelines outline the most important considerations for each stage of an amphibian reintroduction. They provide guidance, best practices, case studies, and links to helpful resources that will be useful for a wide variety of practitioners involved in amphibian reintroductions.

Red colobus (Piliocolobus) conservation action plan 2021-2026
    Linder, J.M. | Cronin, D.T. | Ting, N. | Abwe, E.E. | Davenport, T.R.B. | Detwiler, K.M. | Galat, G. | Galat-Luong, A. | Hart, J. A. | Ikemeh, R.A. | Kivai, S.M. | Koné, I. | Kujirakwinja, D. | Maisels, F. | McGraw, W.S. | Oates, J.F. | Struhsaker, T.T.

Ranging from forests in Senegal to the Zanzibar Archipelago, red colobus monkeys (Piliocolobus spp.) are the most threatened group of African monkeys. According to the IUCN Red List of Threatened SpeciesTM in 2020, every form of red colobus monkey is threatened with extinction, and 14 of the 18 taxa (>75%) are listed as Critically Endangered or Endangered. Despite their conservation status, only a few populations have been studied in any detail and the general public is largely unaware of these monkeys and their plight. Following over two decades of calls to prioritise red colobus conservation efforts, this publication finally brings together the knowledge of experts on these monkeys and African wildlife conservation to identify the populations in most urgent need of conservation and to develop priority conservation actions for each taxon and across the red colobus’ geographic range.
Mainstreaming biodiversity conservation in Lebanon
    Khoury, Ricardo | Atiyah, Perla | Nader, Manal | Alhaj, Dima | Ismail, Dania

Although all coastal development projects in Lebanon typically require an environmental impact assessment (EIA), biodiversity has rarely been given specific or appropriate consideration in the EIA process. The objective of this report is to present guidelines that specifically address biodiversity inclusion in EIA studies. For each phase of the EIA process (screening, scoping, and impact assessment), the report outlines current procedures and recommends new steps to be integrated, if/when a biodiversity-inclusive EIA is required. The report also includes a checklist to serve as a tool for the Ministry of Environment site inspections of coastal establishments. The checklist specifically addresses (direct and indirect) impacts to biodiversity, as well as relevant mitigation and monitoring practices.
Guidelines for the management of confiscated, live organisms (Arabic version)
   

Illegal trade in wildlife has increased dramatically over the past decade; however, so have enforcement efforts aimed at mitigating this threat. Successful enforcement often involves the seizure and confiscation of wild species from diverse taxa of plants, animals and fungi. These confiscations may be parts of non-living specimens in the form of artefacts, food or medicinal products but, in many cases, they involve live individuals. With increasingly frequent confiscations and often high numbers of individuals involved, it is important that best practice management approaches are followed to maximise the conservation role and the individual welfare of these plants and animals. These Guidelines aim to provide guidance on this best practice.

Conflict and conservation
   

Conflict and conservation focuses on armed conflict and nature. The theme is highly timely as armed conflicts cause great economic and social harm, as well as environmental damage around the world. Conflicts have stretched societies to their limits in terms of financial and human resources. Lives and property have been lost and disrupted, livelihoods destroyed, and people displaced. Regrettably, policies to better manage and moderate pressures that drive armed conflicts have been unable to prevent their number from reaching what is now their highest level for 30 years. IUCN therefore explores the complex relationships between nature and conflict to inform policies to better advance both peacebuilding and conservation. This is the first report in the IUCN Flagship Report Series. The purpose of this series is to help bring the importance of nature conservation into mainstream political and economic decision-making.

Abordagens fonte-mar e de paisagem
    Brito, Maria Cecília | Barbosa, Francisco | Maroun, Christianne | Renshaw, Jonathan | May, Peter | Sánchez, Luis Enrique | Kakabadse, Yolanda

O relatório traz informações e dados selecionados sobre a qualidade física, química e biológica da água e uma visão geral da biodiversidade terrestre, de água doce e marinha na bacia do Rio Doce desde o rompimento da barragem até o momento atual. Também apresenta uma revisão das abordagens integradas já adotadas nas ações de restauração do Rio Doce, com foco nos programas do Termo de Transação e de Ajustamento de Conduta, cuja concepção incorpora, em alguns aspectos, as abordagens fonte-mar e de paisagem. O Relatório aponta caminhos para a criação de uma abordagem conjunta para restaurar a qualidade da água e a biodiversidade na bacia do Rio Doce, aproveitando as ações já implementadas pela Fundação Renova e seus parceiros.
Source-to-sea and landscape approaches
    Brito, Maria Cecília | Barbosa, Francisco | Maroun, Christianne | Renshaw, Jonathan | May, Peter | Sánchez, Luis Enrique | Kakabadse, Yolanda

The report contextualises the current status of water quality and biodiversity in the Rio Doce watershed, providing selected data and information on the physical, chemical and biological quality of the water and an overview of the terrestrial, freshwater and marine biodiversity since the dam rupture. A review of the integrated approaches already adopted in the Rio Doce restoration actions is also provided, focusing mainly on the TTAC programmes that in some respect embody the source-to-sea and landscape approaches in their conception. The Technical Report suggests pathways toward building a combined approach to restore water quality and biodiversity in the Rio Doce watershed, taking advantage of such actions already implemented by Renova Foundation and its partners.
Lineamientos para la conservación de la conectividad a través de redes y corredores ecológicos
    Hilty, Jodi | Worboys, Graeme L. | Keeley, Annika | Woodley, Stephen | Lausche, Barbara J. | Locke, Harvey | Carr, Mark | Pulsford, Ian | Pittock, Jamie | White, J. Wilson | Theobald, David M. | Levine, Jessica | Reuling, Melly | Watson, James E.M. | Ament, Rob | Tabor, Gary M.

En ecosistemas terrestres, dulceacuícolas y marinos, los corredores ecológicos son una designación de conservación necesaria para asegurar la salud de los ecosistemas. Los corredores son elementos fundamentales de las redes ecológicas para la conservación y complementan los objetivos de las áreas protegidas y OMEC al conectar estos hábitats con otras áreas naturales intactas. Estos lineamientos responden a la creciente demanda por la conectividad que han manifestado académicos, tomadores de decisiones y profesionales de la conservación. Los ecosistemas bien conectados apoyan una serie de funciones ecológicas, incluyendo la migración, ciclos de agua y de nutrientes, polinización, dispersión de semillas, seguridad alimentaria, resiliencia frente al clima y resistencia a enfermedades. Estos lineamientos ofrecen orientación sobre cómo conservar los valores de la conectividad en diferentes contextos de la conservación de forma consistente y medible. Los 25 estudios de caso de estos lineamientos ofrecen ejemplos y buenas prácticas que muestran algunos enfoques que pueden asegurar la conectividad ecológica entre diferentes ecosistemas y especies a diferentes escalas espaciales y temporales. Para asegurar la integración y aceleración de la adopción de las medidas de conservación de la conectividad con el fin de amortiguar y promover la adaptación al cambio climático, es necesario enfatizar las capacidades humanas y técnicas.
