A guide to the Convention on Biological Diversity (Arabic version)
    Glowka, Lyle | Burhenne-Guilmin, Françoise | Synge, Hugh | McNeely, Jeffrey A. | Gündling, Lothar

The Convention on biological diversity is an historic committment by the world's nations to conserve biological diversity, to use biological resources sustainably and to share equitably the benefits arising from the use of genetic resources. It is the first global legal instrument to comprehensivly address all aspects of biological diversity. The guide illustrates the scientific, technical and legal issues which the Convention raises. Designed as a reference document, the guide's table of contents, pagination, index and commentary cross-references give the reader easy access to the book's comprehensive rendering of what could be involved in fulfilling the obligations of the Convention. There is also a detailed bibliography. The introduction provides a concise general overview of the Convention's character, its origin and history and major issues covered. The Convention's provisions are then explained article by article, 23 boxes include background information on such topics as the importance of biological diversity; national biodivesity strategies; biotechnology; environmental impact assessment; technology transfer; and intellectual property rights. It suggests options for implementing the Convention, in many instances drawing on existing environmental policy documents and action plans including the World Conservation Strategy, Caring for the earth, the Global Biodiversity Strategy and Agenda 21. Written in an objective, easily understandable and accessible style, the guide is indipensable reading for anyone desiring information on the Convention on biological diversity and possible steps for its implementation.

Community benefits through community based natural resources management in Botswana
    Jagt, Corjan J. van der | Gujadhur, Tara | Bussel, F. van

This publication presents a discussion of the range of benefits that can be generated by communities from CBNRM activities. The findings of this analysis attempt to address key issues at stake in CBNRM implementation in Botswana. Initiatives predominantly focus on generating financial benefits as soon as possible. Some questions which arise are: do large sums of money acquired by a community guarantee an improvement in the living conditions of its people? How do subsistence economies cope with an increasing commercialization of the available nature resources? What alternative benefits can be generated from CBNRM? The initial CBNRM initiatives were implemented in the northern part of the country (Chobe District), hence there is a tendency to draw lessons from early experiences. However, the context of the project in Chobe is entirely different from situations in other parts of the country, and depends on prevailing natural resources and related livelihood strategies, culture and history, levels of material well-being and education. The authors argue that the choice of CBNRM approach and related options for the generation and utilization of benefits should be situation-specific. Three case studies are used.
