Guidelines for rewilding
   

These guidelines offer both a call for change and general guidance for users. The following five guidelines, adapted from the ten guiding principles for rewilding (Carver et al., 2021), provide a foundation for understanding and taking action to prevent further losses in nature, promote the recovery of biodiversity, and support the restoration of ecological integrity.
IUCN Species Survival Commission biobanking guidelines for conservation purposes
    Hvilsom, C. | Brown, Ania | Bruford, M. | Berner, J. | Boettcher, P. | Bragg, J. | Calatayud, N. | Costa, M. | Daly, J. | Dulloo, Mohammad Ehsan | Fant, J. | Goodale, Uromi Manage | Habul, A. | Hamer, M. | Heineman, K. | Hoban, S. | Hobbs, Rebecca | Macdonald, Anna | Masembe, C. | Motato-Vásquez, V. | Mullins, P. | O'Brien, J. | Russo, I-R. | Ryder, O. | Sole, C. | Vergeer, P. | Wettberg, E.B.v. | Wisely, S. | Segelbacher, G.

The guidelines call for and delineate standardised approaches, from collecting and storing samples to using and sharing data. Lastly, the guidelines illustrate which international and national regulations have to be considered. This document aims to be a resource that guides the reader through the fundamental decision processes for establishing, managing and implementing biobanks. Only through a harmonised and standardised approach within a global network will we be able to fully utilise the potential of biobanks across the world.
Best practice guidelines for orangutan wild-to-wild translocation
   

Determining whether wild-to-wild translocation is an appropriate action requires sound assessment of an individual orangutan’s characteristics, the circumstances surrounding its detection, and in-depth analysis to identify suitable release habitats. This guidance document follows the precautionary principle in prioritising the in situ protection of wild orangutans and their forest habitats, whether large tracts or small fragments. This document helps users determine if wild-to-wild translocation is appropriate for their specific circumstances.

其他有效的区域保护措施指南
   

The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, adopted in 2022, provides a framework for the effective implementation of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) through four goals and 23 targets. Target 3 (known as the ‘30x30 target’) calls on Parties to conserve at least 30% of terrestrial, inland waters, and coastal and marine areas by 2030. These guidelines are designed to promote good practices relating to identifying, reporting, monitoring and strengthening OECMs. They are intended for use by a wide range of rightsholders and stakeholders to promote understanding of whether a site meets the CBD criteria for identifying an OECM, how to report OECM data at the national and global levels, and how to monitor and strengthen OECMs.

This report covers both terrestrial and marine protected and conserved areas (PCAs). The audience is practitioners and policymakers who seek background information on the role of PCAs in climate change mitigation to:
- develop policies that enhance biodiversity and climate change simultaneously;
- quantify the importance of PCAs as a mechanism to reduce GHG emissions in Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) to the Paris Agreement;
- include the role of PCAs in climate change mitigation in National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs) required by the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD); and
- quantify the climate change mitigation role of PCAs in funding applications.
Priročnik in orodja za presojo vplivov v kontekstu svetovne dediščine
    Court, Sarah | Jo, Eugene | Mackay, Richard | Murai, Mizuki | Therivel, Riki

As the World Heritage Convention celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2022, over 1100 sites around the world are recognized as World Heritage - places  that are so valuable to humanity that there conservation has been deemed our collective responsibility. Yet many of these exceptional places face  increasing pressure from diverse types of development projects within and around the sites. Assessing the impacts of such projects is essential to both prevent damage to World Heritage and identify sustainable options. This Guidance and toolkit explains the process for achieving these goals. Offering practical tips and tools including checklists and a glossary, it provides a framework for conducting impact assessments for cultural and natural heritage sites.
Standards, methods and guidelines for cross-referencing ecosystem classifications and maps to the IUCN Global Ecosystem Typology
   

This publication establishes a structured, rigorous standard for cross-referencing ecosystem types to the GET. It first reviews the need for reliable interoperability among ecosystem classifications and the role of the GET as a framework for synthesis. Second, it reviews the conceptual foundations of ecosystem classifications and introduces the structure of the GET. Third, the guidelines introduce key principles for cross-referencing the units of other ecosystem classifications to GET Ecosystem Functional Groups. In particular, it identifies the range of land and water classifications that may be suitable for crossreferencing to the GET. The next section describes the steps, methods and guidance for defining membership relationships to GET Ecosystem Functional Groups. Finally, it foreshadows emerging tools to assist users in crossreferencing tasks with example applications.

Applying the IUCN Global Standard for Nature-based Solutions™
   

The IUCN Global Standard for Nature-based Solutions™ was developed during a two-year process, aiming at setting a common basis of understanding for NbS, and providing a robust framework to design, implement, assess, adapt and improve NbS. The first version of the Global Standard for NbS has eight criteria and 28 indicators, and it was launched in 2020, supported by the IUCN Resolution 060.

To support the implementation phase of the NbS Global Standard, IUCN Commission on Ecosystem Management (CEM) carefully selected 21 case studies around, to analyse, learn from and showcase examples of NbS good practice; and explore in detail how the IUCN Global Standard for NbS can be applied in different contexts. The case studies' authors were provided with the NbS Global Standard’s Self-Assessment Tool, and assessed how well their case study met the eight criteria and 28 indicators. The 21 case studies were implemented in a diversity of contexts across the globe and in different regions, in equally diverse types of biomes – ranging from marine and coastal, to freshwater, terrestrial (including polar alpine biomes, forest, woodlands and grasslands biomes) to intensive land use biomes (including three cities) – as well as in two business-related cases to illustrate how NbS can also be implemented in a business context.

Establishing marine protected areas in a changing climate
    Wenzel, Lauren | Cannizzo, Zachary John | Stephenson, F. (Fabrice) | Orchard, S. | Clarkson, Stephanie | Wheater, Emma | Howe, Steffan | Kirkland, Amanda | Becker, Danielle

This guidance aims to inform the planning, design, and implementation of new and expanded MPAs, OECMs, areas conserved by Indigenous peoples, and networks of protected and conserved areas at the community, national, and international levels. It focuses on why it is important to consider climate change in MPA1 planning, and how new areas can be established in ways that build climate resilience, adaptation, and mitigation. The audience for this guidance includes relevant government agencies and non-governmental organizations at the national, sub-national, and regional scales, as well as Indigenous peoples and communities. While the focus is on new and expanded MPAs and networks, much of this guidance is also relevant to the climate-adaptive management of existing MPAs. This guidance recognises the broader context of marine spatial planning and ecosystem approaches to management within which MPA networks often operate. It also recognises the wealth of resources already available on implementing climate-adaptive MPAs and provides a brief introduction to these tools and approaches.
