Cette note technique se concentre sur l'aménagement du territoire dans les projets de développement éoliens et solaires en ce qui concerne la biodiversité. Elle s'adresse principalement aux planificateurs gouvernementaux responsables du déploiement et/ou de l'expansion durable à long terme des énergies renouvelables et infrastructures associées (par exemple, infrastructures de réseau et installations telles que les ports) à l'échelle régionale, nationale et infranationale. Pour les promoteurs et les bailleurs de fonds/investisseurs, cette note technique pourrait également aider à illustrer comment ces acteurs pourraient jouer un rôle dans l'aménagement du territoire dans certains contextes (par exemple, marchés émergents, fourniture de ressources et soutien aux gouvernements pour identifier les domaines de développement appropriés).

   

These guidelines aim to facilitate improved knowledge of agricultural and plantation forestry ecosystems, and their relationship with other ecosystems in complex landscapes, by providing clarity on how the IUCN Global Ecosystem Typology is applied in the context of agricultural and plantation forestry production. This provides a foundation for a range of applications that can enable and support sustainable agriculture.

Un objectif clé de ce guide est de recadrer l'EIC pour aider à soutenir la conservation de la nature et la réalisation des objectifs mondiaux en matière de biodiversité (aux côtés des objectifs climatiques et autres objectifs de développement sociétaux). Ce guide est centré sur la biodiversité et le développement éolien et solaire, et s'adresse principalement aux planificateurs gouvernementaux et aux promoteurs de projets. Cependant, étant donné qu'il est conçu pour aider à relever certains des défis existants de l'EIC, sa portée est potentiellement plus vaste.

Esta guía se alinea con las definiciones existentes en la literatura y utilizadas por las agencias gubernamentales y las instituciones financieras, que generalmente reconocen que los impactos acumulativos pueden resultar de los efectos sucesivos, incrementales y/o combinados de una acción. Esta guía se centra en la biodiversidad y el desarrollo eólico y solar, y está dirigida principalmente a planificadores gubernamentales y promotores de proyectos. Sin embargo, dado que está diseñada para ayudar a abordar algunos de los desafíos existentes en la EIA, su aplicabilidad es potencialmente más amplia.

Protected and conserved areas (PCAs) have been proven to provide enormous value to nature, people and the economy. They are an effective means by which species, habitats and ecosystems can be conserved, restored and sustainably utilised. This Guide provides detailed frameworks, descriptions and insights into the use of conservation finance solutions to achieve PCA outcomes. The guidance presents the case for PCA investment and sustainable finance, describes the role and use of finance and economics to achieve PCA outcomes, and presents guidance on how to conduct strategic and practical financial planning in support of these outcomes.

Displaced organisms are individuals and groups of animals, plants, or fungi that have been recovered from legal or illegal trade, driven from their habitats through habitat destruction or human-wildlife conflicts, displaced or incapacitated by catastrophic events (fires, floods, and extreme weather events) or climate change, or captured or collected by humans. The full scale of irresponsibly translocated organisms is difficult to measure as most are unrecorded. Following the steps in this guidance, attempts can be made to maximise the conservation benefit of translocations of displaced organisms.

Natural and mixed World Heritage (WH) has generally not been a success in the Oceania region, due to limited support at all levels, unrealistic expectations about what WH can and cannot deliver, and a lack of resources to support all aspects of the WH process, particularly WH site management. This report assesses the implementation of the UNESCO World Heritage Convention in Oceania in relation to natural and mixed WH sites. It outlines recommendations which will, if applied, contribute to the more effective implementation of natural WH in the Pacific region.

Since publication of the 2015 Great Ape Health Guidelines, great ape tourism has continued to gain in popularity, and landscape conversion continues on a steep trajectory. In addition, there has been a tremendous amount of new scientific research on pathogens that infect wild great apes. Furthermore, the world experienced epidemics of Ebola (in West Africa from 2014–2016 and in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) from 2018–2020) and the COVID-19 pandemic (2020–2023). The purpose of this Supplement is to provide protected area authorities charged with the conservation of great ape populations, and other stakeholders working in great ape habitats, with new and additional content to the 2015 Great Ape Health Guidelines, based on new papers published through 2022, with a specific focus on: an update on health issues of concern in great ape populations, new technologies, tools and approaches for surveillance and diagnosis of infectious diseases in great apes, and great ape disease prevention.

Societies around the globe harvest wild species, to a greater or lesser extent, for food, building materials, healthcare, medicines, pest control, ornamentation, income, recreation, and cultural and spiritual purposes. While this use of wild species directly contributes to the well-being of billions of people globally, over-exploitation of wild species is one of the key drivers of biodiversity loss. The IUCN Guidelines on harvesting threatened species advise decision-makers on whether, how and what to harvest to ensure the sustainable use of threatened animal, plant and fungal species. Drawing on insights from the IPBES Sustainable Use Assessment, they complement and expand on existing guidance and tools, such as the Guidelines for the Appropriate Use of IUCN Red List Data in Harvesting of Threatened Species and recent CITES guidance on the conduct of Non-Detriment Findings.

   

As human-wildlife conflicts become more frequent, serious and widespread worldwide, they are notoriously challenging to resolve, and many efforts to address these conflicts struggle to make progress. These Guidelines provide an essential guide to understanding and resolving human-wildlife conflict. The Guidelines aim to provide foundations and principles for good practice, with clear, practical guidance on how best to tackle conflicts and enable coexistence with wildlife. They have been developed for use by conservation practitioners, community leaders, decision-makers, researchers, government officers and others. Focusing on approaches and tools for analysis and decision-making, they are not limited to any particular species or region of the world.

   

World Heritage properties are internationally recognized as places of Outstanding Universal Value that should benefit from the highest level of management effectiveness. The Toolkit 2.0 offers a self-assessment methodology to evaluate management effectiveness in a World Heritage property or other heritage place. It contains 12 tools that can be used separately or collectively to understand in detail what is working well and what can be done better. The Toolkit supports managers in identifying ways to improve conservation practices, management processes and resource allocation – particularly if used before reviewing or updating management plans. While there is a focus on World Heritage, it can be applied to all heritage places, whether natural, cultural or combinations of both.

Tabe’a III addresses the status and trends in the implementation of the World Heritage Convention in the Arab region during the period from 2015 to 2019. This review was conducted in the context of emerging global trends and priorities associated with the World Heritage Convention, as well as other related global natural heritage platforms and programmes. Tabe’a III documents progress made in the conservation of natural and mixed World Heritage sites in the Arab region, as well as providing an update on the state of conservation of natural sites. Additionally, special themes address key priorities which have emerged from heritage protection, conservation challenges and opportunities arising in the region. Finally, there is a summary update on the Arab States’ lists of possible candidate sites, known as Tentative Lists, with notes on their development since the Tabe’a II report.
