Guidebook for assessing and improving social equity in marine conservation
    Andrachuk, Mark | Bennett, Nathan J. | Blythe, Jessica | Claudet, Joachim | Dawson, Neil | Finkbeiner, Elena | Fitzpatrick, Juno | Franks, Phil | Gill, David A. | Gurney, Georgina G. | Jack-Kadıoğlu, Timur | Jupiter, Stacy | Lau, Jacqueline | Lopes, Priscila F.M. | Mahajan, Shauna L. | Muhl, Ella-Kari | Naggea, Josheena | Roumbedakis, Katina | Selim, Samiya | Singh. Gerald G. | Strand, Mia | Sullivan-Wiley, Kira | Villasante, Sebastian

This guidebook is based on an understanding that social equity refers to fairness and justice with respect to the ways that people are recognised, treated, or impacted by conservation initiatives. It is also grounded on a common framework for assessing equity that includes six dimensions: recognitional, procedural, management, environmental, distributional, and contextual and structural equity.
Fondation Segré Conservation Action Fund
   

Species are the building blocks of ecosystems. As predators, prey, pollinators, seed dispersers, and habitat engineers, they shape ecological processes and uphold the delicate balance of nature. Together, they ensure the health, stability and resilience of the natural systems that sustain life on Earth. When these building blocks begin to collapse, through the decline or extinction of species, entire ecosystems can unravel, triggering cascading effects on biodiversity, human well-being, and global environmental health.
Today, these building blocks are under threat. Habitat destruction, climate change, pollution, invasive species, overexploitation, and illegal wildlife trade are accelerating biodiversity loss at an alarming rate. As ecosystems degrade, their ability to provide essential services such as carbon storage, water purification, and food security weakens. Urgent, targeted conservation efforts are needed to safeguard species and preserve the structural integrity of the ecosystems they support.
In response to this challenge, the Fondation Segré Conservation Action Fund directed its resources where they could make the greatest difference: towards the world’s most threatened species, those listed as Vulnerable (VU), Endangered (EN), or Critically Endangered (CR) on the IUCN Red List.

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.

    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.
