Invasive plants and animals : is there a way out?
    Bergmans, Wim | Blom, Esther

Alien invasive species are considered by the Species Survival Commission to be the second largest threat to indigenous species, following habitat destruction. The Netherlands Committee of IUCN has drawn attention to the growing number of invasive species and organized a conference on the issue in September 2000. This publication contains array of papers presented at the Conference on Alien Invasive Species the held in Leiden, the Netherlands. It also contains summaries of the discussions held during the conference and the recommendations emanating from them.

Antelopes : global survey and regional action plans, part 4 : North Africa, the Middle East, and Asia
    Kingswood, Steven C. | Mallon, David P.

The fourth part in a series of action plan, this publication covers less than one-quarter of the world's antelope species that are found in North Africa, the Middle East and Asia. Herds numbering in the tens of thousands formerly occurred across the steppes and semi-deserts of Eurasia and India, but these have nearly all been reduced to fractions of their earlier size. Populations are fragmented across the region and several species have disappeared altogether during recent decades. The challenge for the 21st century is to ensure that other species whose status is currently precarious do not follow them into extinction.
Nature conservation in private forests of selected CEE (central and eastern European) countries : opportunities and constraints. Programme paper
Pueblos indígenas y tradicionales y áreas protegidas
    Beltrán, Javier

It is sometimes assumed that protected areas must be in conflict with the rights and traditions of indigenous and other traditional peoples on their domains. In reality, where indigenous peoples are interested in the conservation and traditional use of their lands, waters, territories and the natural and cultural resources that they contain, conflicts need not arise. Formal protected areas can provide a means to recognise and guarantee the efforts of many communities who have long protected certain areas, such as sacred groves and mountains. This publication provides a framework for developing partnerships between indigenous and other traditional peoples and protected area managers. It contains a number of case studies giving examples from different parts of the world on successful experiences on the application of these principles

Medicinal plant conservation bibliography, volume 2
    Schippmann, Uwe

One of the major impediments to the advancement of medicinal plant conservation is the difficulty of accessing and analysing the relevant literature. Books and papers on medicinal plants count by the tens of thousands worlwide. The bulk of them, however, relate to pharmacology and medicinal properties or to classical ethnobotanical research, with very scarce data available on distribution, life history, biology, population status, levels of extraction and trade or resource management of taxa. This publication is designed to collect information from the various sources in order to begin setting plant conservation priorities. This volume covers the period 1997-2000.
Annotated CITES appendices and reservations : a reference to the appendices to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora

Access to genetic resources and traditional knowledge : lessons from South and Southeast Asia
    Glowka, Lyle | Balakrishna, P. | De Silva, Sanjiv

The commitment of the international community to ensure an equitable supply of food and nutrition to everyone on Earth has been reiterated many times. However, there are very few practical examples on how such equity and benefit sharing principles are to be put into practice. The proceedings of this workshop held in February 1998 relate experiences and lessons from a South-South perspective and critically address the translation of recommendations from this workshop into actions.

The Bangladesh Sundarbans : a photoreal sojourn
    Choudhury, Khasru | Waliuzzaman, Mir | Nishat, Ainun

The Sundarbans, the immense target_idal mangrove forests of Bangladesh, are a mosaic of islands of different shapes and sizes, perennially washed by brackish water swirling in and around the endless and mind-boggling labyrinths of twisting water channels. This is the place where mainland Bangladesh meets the Bay of Bengal, making the area a globally unique ecological niche. This full colour publication has captured the Sundarbans in all their glory, and gives us a glimpse of its animals and plants, as well as its social and spiritual life.
Economic aspects of community involvement in sustainable forest management in eastern and southern Africa
    Mogaka, Hezron | Simons, Gacheke | Turpie, Jane | Emerton, L. (Lucy) | Karanja, Francis

Produced by IUCN's Eastern Africa Programme, this publication aims to investigate the extent to which communities have been provided with economic incentives to become involved in sustainable forest management in Eastern and Southern Africa, and how far perverse incentives and disincentives encouraging forest degradation and loss have been overcome. This study concludes that there is an urgent need to provide economic incentives, and it highlights a number of policy recommendations.
