Parks for biodiversity : policy guidance based on experience in ACP countries
    Howe, Sylvia | Synge, Hugh

This landmark publication builds on previous work between IUCN/WCPA and the European Commission and addresses the key protected area policy issues and needs of the ACP (Africa, Caribbean and Pacific) countries. It describes the actions that are required if protected areas are to be successful in the next century. Particular emphasis is placed on the need to link planning for protected areas with surrounding land uses, to involve local communities more effectively, and the need to strengthen its capacity.
Communities and forest management in Southeast Asia
    Poffenberger, Mark

The degree to which community involvement in forest management (CIFM) is recognised by governments and is integrated into state management goals varies widely. The goal of this regional profile series is to communicate CIFM experiences between regions, targeting diverse audiences including international policy-makers and national planners who are responsible for shaping forest management policies and strategies, as well as the forestry practitioners and development specialists who implement them. This profile provides a brief summary of South-east Asia's forest management history, human ecology, and administrative organizations, followed by a series of CIFM case studies
African antelope database 1998
    East, R. (Rod) | Estes, R. D.

Although most antelope species still exist in large numbers in sub-Saharan Africa (some in hundreds of thousands), up to three-quarters of the species are in decline. Threats to their survival arise from the rapid growth of human and livestock populations, with consequent degradation and destruction of natural habitats, and excessive offtake by meat hunters. In addition, some parts of Africa are mow almost completely devoid of large wild animals because of uncontrolled slaughter during recent civil wars. This report presents the information currently held by the IUCN/SSC Antelope Specialist Group on the conservation status of each antelope species (and selected subspecies) in sub-Saharan Africa. Key areas have been identified for the conservation of representative antelope communities. While external donors make the greatest contributions to the conservation of antelopes, greater recognition of wildlife conservation in national and regional development plans is often a critically important requirement
Celebración del 50e aniversario de la UICN : resultados de Imaginar el mundo del manana : talleres del Simposio
   

IUCN's 50th anniversary celebrations in Fontainebleau, France, on 3 November 1998, included a symposium organized around three main areas: conservation, communities and consumption. A wide range of prominent scientific figures led the workshops to encourage new thinking on diverse aspects of these topics. These Proceedings contain keynote addresses and summaries of the responses elicited by these papers.

Business and environment in Botswana
    Zhou, P. | Landner, L.

This report is based on a 3-month project assessing business and environment in Botswana. The project concentrated on an assessment of the interests, needs, concerns and constraints of the business community in environmental and resouce management. Top managers and environmental officers in key production and service companies, government departments, NGOs and local authorities were approached for their opinions. A reference group was also established to provide guidance. This two-part report presents the key findings and recommendations of the assessment study, and relates the proceedings of a seminar where the recommendations of the study were discussed and ideas for the future of environmental and resource management in Botswana were exchanged between stakeholders.
Transboundary approaches to the conservation and utilisation of the Chobe-Caprivi wetlands. Workshop report
   

This workshop brought together representatives of all stakeholder groups from Namibia and Botswana to discuss key natural resource utilisation issues. IUCN sought to begin a crucial cross-border dialogue to address incompatible land and resource uses in the area. This is the first stage in addressing transboundary natural resource management in the area, and clearly focuses on both the ecosystem and the participation of all stakeholders.

Conifers : status survey and conservation action plan
    Farjon, Aljos | Page, Christopher N.

Conifers are one of the world's most important resources of timber. If managed wisely and used sustainably, these resources will provide wood for a multitude of purposes, virtually indefinitely. Additional products include resins and their derivatives, and even medicinal extracts, for example taxol now used in the treatment of cancer. Conifers occur on all continents except Antarctica. Of the 630 species, 355 are listed as of conservation concern, with 200, or 25 of species, threatened with extinction. Although exploitation of these resources is as old as civilisation, this century has seen a dramatic increase in the exploitation of timber resources. This action plan assess conifer diversity and its threats. It is unique among IUCN's Plant Action Plans so far published, in that it gives the complete global red list of conifers using the 1994 IUCN Red List Categories and criteria. Data is analysed to identify "conifer hot spots", where conservation should be a priority, and a short-list of threatened species is prioritised.
