Achievement of lower secondary school students in population and environmental education
   

The Ministry of Education and Sports of His Majesty's Government of Nepal places high importance on the need for imparting environmental education to all school children. This publication describes a three-year pilot study undertaken to compare the level of knowledge that students have before and after taking a course in population and environmental concerns. It is hoped that the positive results of this study will promote future endeavours in this area.

Communities and forest management in western Europe
    Jeanrenaud, Sally

Fourth in the series, this profile explores the diverse and changing nature of Community Involvement in Forest Management (CIFM) in Western Europe. It provides some comparative European-level data on important social institutions which shape patterns of community involvement in forestry, and it briefly examines different national contexts. Through 12 case studies, this publication discusses some of the main economic, social, ecological and policy opportunities and challenges of CIFM in Europe, and outlines the principal lessons learned according to three key groups of actors: governments, NGOs and local communities. The profile also proposes some recommendations for policy and action in Europe.

Guide to Bundala : a guide to the biodiversity of Bundala national park, a Ramsar wetland in Sri Lanka
    Bambaradeniya, Channa N. B.

In 1990, the Bundala lagoons of Sri Lanka became the country's first Ramsar site, a wetland of international importance for migratory waterfowl. In 1992, Bundala was upgraded to a National Park. This guide to the habitats, animals and plant species currently present in Bundala National Park stems from a survey on the status of the park's biodiversity conducted by IUCN's Country Office in Sri Lanka. It is hoped that this guide will raise awareness of this important protected area.

An overview of the threatened herpetofauna of South Asia
   

The South Asian region can be considered a herpetofaunal "hotspot" with its high degree of species richness and diversity of amphibian and reptilian fauna. Unfortunately, high population density and population growth are putting enormous pressure on the region's natural resources and ecosystems, and as a result five amphibian species and 31 reptilian species from this region are listed as globally threatened in the 2000 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. The selection of papers presented here, from the 4th World Herpetological Congress held in Sri Lanka in December 2001, hopes to draw attention to the status and trends of South Asian Herpetofauna and help policy makers, conservationists and herpetologists in the region take the appropriate steps to conserve these unique and important animals.
Enfoque estratégico para integrar la biodiversidad en la cooperación para el desarrollo
   

This document is the product of extensive consultation between EC policy advisers and task managers dealing with biodiversity and the environment, and those working on natural resource and non-natural resource issues. The important issue of integrating biodiversity into development cooperation policy and practice is addressed. It highlights the need to realise biodiversity's full potential to support development while addressing the direct and underlying causes of its loss.
Principios orientadores para la biodiversidad en el desarrollo : lecciones de los proyectos en el terreno
   

A companion document to the Strategic Approach document, this guide reviews the lessons learned from the various agency initiatives to integrate biodiversity issues into development cooperation programmes. The lessons learned have been condensed into a set of Guiding Principles which aim to ensure that development cooperation projects and programmes are effective and sustainable, and take full account of environmental security and biodiversity issues. Social, economic and institutional issues are an integral part of the Principles, since these are often the main underlying causes of biodiversity loss.
