Ecosistemas de manglar en América tropical = Mangrove ecosystems in tropical America
   

Coastal management is a prominent topic of concern to the world, and an understanding of the ecological processes in mangrove ecosystems is essential.

Parks for life : transboundary protected areas in Europe
    Brunner, Robert

Arbritary national boundaries do not define the extent of landscapes and ecosystems worthy of protection. They do, however, influence the quality of nature conservation as this is affected by differences in national legislation on different sides of the border. This study analyses the status of protected areas across various European State boundaries, lists successes and shortcomings, and gives valuable advise as to how co-operation between protected areas can be improved and enhanced

Environmental economics in Bangladesh : proceedings of workshops on green/environmental economics held on 2 November, 1997 and on 18 February 1998
   

To explore the concept of green accounting, IUCN Bangladesh held two workshops in Dhaka (1997, 1998). The participants consisted of experts, academics, bureaucrats, policy-makers, and consultants representing a broad spectrum of government and non-government agencies. The workhop proceedings have been published to create a greater awareness of the need for the application of environmental accounting in Bangladesh. It is hoped that researchers and planners will find the contents useful in promoting a more sophisticated computation of national income so that it realistically reflects the compulsions of the environmental and other related issues involved in the economic activities.
Eco-labelling and sustainable fisheries
    Deere, Carolyn

There is international consensus that many of the world's commercial fisheries are in distress. Eco-labelling schemes are increasingly perceived as a way to simultaneously maintain the productivity and economic value of fisheries while providing incentives for improved fisheries management and the conservation of marine biodiversity. This review provides an overview of issues to be addressed for effective fisheries eco-labelling schemes, targeting policy-makers, private industry and civil society (e.g.NGOs and community based and fishers' organisations)

Cooperation in the European Mountains, 1: the Alps
    Price, Martin F.

This report was written as a contribution to Action Theme 10 (mountain ecosystems) of the Pan-European Biological and Landscape Diversity Strategy (PEBLDS). It comprises and introduction to Activity 10.6, on cooperation in mountain ranges, of the PBLDS, followed by a review and assessment of existing mechanisms for inter-governmental cooperation in the Alps. Particular emphasis is placed on cooperation between levels, e.g., between nation-states and between sub-nationl administrative entities. Such cooperation between levels is of increasing importance at the turn of the millennium. The final chapter of this publication considers the extent to which the experience of the Alps might be valuable in other transnational mountain regions in Europe
