Waza Logone, histoires d'eaux et d'hommes : vivre dans la plaine inondable de Waza Logone au Cameroun
    Noray, Marie-Laure de | Ngantou, Daniel | Pirot, Jean-Yves

En août 1994, à la suite de diverses études, de judicieuses ouvertures faites dans la digue latérale du barrage de Maga ont permis d’alimenter à nouveau le Logomatya et de réamorcer ainsi l’inondation de la plaine de Waza Logone. Dans ce livre les pasteurs, les pêcheurs, les gens rencontrés au détour des pistes ou des chenaux en période de crues rétablies, racontent la vie revenue vingt ans après la mise en place du barrage. Après 12 ans de collaboration entre UICN et les habitants de Waza Logone, des organisations locales vont reprendre en main le développement durable de leur région.

Invasores en Mesoamérica y el Caribe : resultados del Taller sobre especies invasoras : ante los retos de su presencia en Mesoamérica y el Caribe
    Hernández, Gabriela | Lahmann, Enrique J. | Pérez Gil, Ramón

Un gran número de especies exóticas están invadiendo distintos sitios del planeta, y no se trata de seres de otro mundo… sino de terrícolas! En esta publicación son resumidos los principales estudios de caso que se presentaron durante el Taller Regional sobre Especies Invasoras en Mesoamérica y el Caribe que tuvo lugar en Costa Rica en Junio 2001. Los casos presentados aquí son tanto sobre especies exóticas invasoras de gran impacto económico al convertirse en plagas, como sobre algunas especies que representan una seria amenaza para el ambiente en la región. In this publication summaries are given of the main case studies presented at the workshop on invasive alien species, both those with severe economic impacts and certain others posing serious threats to the region’s environment.

Capacity building for environmental law in the Asian and Pacific region : approaches and resources
    Craig, Donna G. | Robinson, Nicholas A. | Koh Keng-Lian

This is the first comprehensive environmental law book based primarily on materials from Asia and the Pacific, designed to provide appropriate resources for academics and other trainers in environmental law in the region. It adopts a broad view of sustainable development as being the basis of modern environmental law, with emphasis on social justice and equity. The first volume is predominantly applicable to national and local environmental laws while the second volume predominantly deals with international environmental law and regional cooperation. A more thematic and interdisciplinary approach than is usual in many legal texts and resource books is taken.
Sustainable tourism in protected areas : guidelines for planning and management
    Eagles, Paul F. J. | Haynes, Christopher D. | McCool, Stephen F.

The link between protected areas and tourism is as old as the history of protected areas. Though the relationship is complex and sometimes adversarial, tourism is always a critical component to consider in the establishment and management of protected areas. These guidelines aim to build an understanding of protected area tourism, and its management. They provide both a theoretical structure and practical guidelines for managers. The underlying aim is to ensure that tourism contributes to the purposes of protected areas and does not undermine them.
The lion's share of the hunt
In search of the lost gender : equity in protected areas
    Aguilar Revelo, Lorena | Castañeda, Itzá | Salazar, Hilda

Protected areas are conservation instruments created to protect a country’s natural resources. But, protected areas also constitute important tools for equity development among the populations settled within and around protected areas. This publication provides tools, techniques and recommendations to facilitate protected areas planning, management and administration to seek greater social equity, particularly among women and men.
IUCN guidelines for the placement of confiscated animals = IUCN guidelines for the placement of confiscated animals (Arabic version)
   

Live wild animals are confiscated by local, regional and national authorities for a variety of reasons. Once they have taken possession of these animals, these authorities must dispose of them responsibly, in a timely and efficient manner. Prevailing legislation, cultural practices and economic conditions will influence decisions on appropriate disposition of confiscated animals. Within a conservation context, there are several possible options from which to choose, and these guidelines discuss the benefits and risks involved in each.
Towards a mutually supportive relationship between the Convention on biological diversity and World Trade Organization : an action guide
    Tarasofsky, Richard G.

This action guide is the culmination of a four-year IUCN project on the convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and the international trade regime. The point of departure for the project was the assumption that both the CBD and the World Trade Organization (WTO) represent regimes whose successful implementation is necessary in order to achieve sustainable development. The project yielded a rich set of recommendations on three themes relating to the core of the CBD: forests, fisheries and intellectual property rights (IPRs). This guide is limited to those recommendations specifically relating to the trade aspects of the CBD, and the biodiversity aspects of the WTO regime.
Education and sustainability : responding to the global challenge
    Tilbury, Daniella | Stevenson, Robert B. | Fien, John | Schreuder, Danie

A publication from IUCN’s Commission on Education and Communication (CEC), this book tells the stories of people who work with communities to motivate them to create a more sustainable future. The accounts range from engaging communities through theatre to a revival of indigenous stories to pass on good environmental practice. The publication was produced both to share what educators around the world have learnt and to give them a platform to tell their stories.
Dugong : status reports and action plans for countries and territories
    Eros, Carole | Hugues, Joanna | Marsh, H. (Helene) | Penrose, Helen

The dugong (Dugong dugon) is the only herbivorous mammal that is strictly marine. It has a range spanning some 37 countries, including tropical and subtropical coastal and island waters. This plan presents a global overview of the status of the dugong and its management throughout its range. It contains information on dugong distribution and abundance, threatening processes, legislation, and existing and suggested research and management initiatives for the countries and territories in the dugong’s known range. It is hoped that the comparative information provided will enable individual countries to develop their own, more detailed, conservation plans.
Directory of protected areas in East Asia : people, organisations and places
    Hayes, Shelley | Egli, Daniel

Communication and co-operation among all conservation bodies and concerned individuals are vital to effective conservation and to securing the funding and other resources needed. Only by forming productive links among all protected area organisations and initiatives in the region can the aim of the East Asia Action Plan be realised. This Directory, valid as at 31 July 2000, is intended to facilitate this networking and capacity building by providing contacts in three sections: People, Organisations and Places.

Regulating from the inside
    Coglianese, Cary | Nash, Jennifer

Environmental regulations have resulted in considerable improvements, but nevertheless, substantial challenges remain. Policymakers and analysts are increasingly looking for a "third way" of dealing with environmental problems, that is, for new policy tools that fall somewhere between the free market and conventional public regulation. This book examines the potential of one such tool: the environmental management system (EMS).
