Perspectiva del Patrimonio Mundial de la UICN 2
   

Los sitios naturales de Patrimonio Mundial se reconocen internacionalmente por representar la principal prioridad mundial para la conservación de la naturaleza. Incluyen lugares como el Serengeti, la Gran Barrera de Coral y las Islas 
Galápagos. En noviembre de 2017, fecha de publicación del presente informe, existen 241 sitios naturales y mixtos (tanto culturales como naturales) del Patrimonio Mundial, que representan cerca del 0,1% del total de áreas protegidas en el mundo, con una cobertura total de 294 millones de hectáreas, lo que equivale al 8% de la superficie combinada de las áreas protegidas terrestres y al 6% de las áreas protegidas marinas. Por lo tanto, el seguimiento de los sitios del Patrimonio Mundial representa un barómetro extremadamente importante para evaluar la eficacia de las medidas de conservación generales de la comunidad mundial. El sistema de evaluación de la Perspectiva del Patrimonio Mundial de la UICN es proactivo y visionario. Permite determinar la dirección que siguen los sitios del Patrimonio Mundial y los valores fundamentales que protegen, cómo prever sus necesidades futuras y cómo optimizar su contribución al bienestar humano. También pretende celebrar e incrementar los éxitos, apoyando el papel de los sitios del Patrimonio Mundial como ejemplos de excelencia.

Synergy among Sustainable Development Goals and biodiversity-related conventions in Bahrain
    Allam, Khaled | Naser, Humood Abdulla

The objective of this report is to analyse the potential for enhancing synergies among the biodiversityrelated conventions and to develop a set of practical options for synergies in Bahrain. This report focuses on the following five biodiversity-related conventions: (1) Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD); (2) Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES); (3) Convention on Migratory Species (CMS); (4) Ramsar Convention on Wetlands; and (5) World Heritage Convention (WHC).
Ocean connections
    Laffoley, D. | Baxter, J. M.

The ocean on which Earth depends for relatively predictable weather, temperature and provisioning of goods and services is now changing more rapidly than it has for millions of years. This is due to human interactions with the  atmosphere and land, and increasing expansion of the footprint of human impacts across the ocean. It is increasingly evident that patterns and trends in ocean and atmospheric responses are falling outside documented historical  norms. The report explores the hazards and risks associated with ocean warming from a variety of angles, and by using graphics looks at how these ‘simple’ temperature-related changes to the ocean can ripple out into many aspects of society. It aims to stimulate further discussion by exploring and exposing the issues that arise.

Biodiversity guidelines for forest landscape restoration opportunities assessments
    Beatty, Craig | Cox, Neil | Kuzee, Mirjam

Biodiversity is inherent in forest landscape restoration. As global initiatives like the Bonn Challenge and New York Declaration on Forests inspire nations to pursue sustainable landscapes and economic growth, on the ground, biodiversity binds people and nature to their shared future. These guidelines are intended to provide more context, more resources and fresh perspectives to the ongoing global interaction between biodiversity conservation and forest landscape restoration. They do so in the context of the methodology used by dozens of countries and jurisdictions to help practitioners working on identifying and realising their landscape restoration goals — and they should be interpreted as a companion to the Restoration Opportunities Assessment Methodology (ROAM).

Global forest governance and climate change
    Nuesiri, Emmanuel O.

This edited collection assesses governance in forestry programmes and projects, including REDD+ governance. It examines political representation, participation and decentralisation in forest governance, providing insight as to how forest governance arrangements can be responsive to the socio-economic interests of local people and communities who live adjacent to and depend on forests. Global Forest Governance and Climate Change argues that inclusive complementary representation of local communities is required for strong participatory processes and democratic decentralisation of forest governance. Responsiveness to local people’s socio-economic interests in forestry initiatives require paying attention to not just the hosting of participatory meetings and activities, but also to the full cast of appointed, self-authorized, and elected representative agents that stand, speak, and act for local people.

Turtles in trouble
   

This updated publication is an effort to publicize the plight of tortoises and freshwater turtles by highlighting those species that are at the highest risk of extinction, in hopes that by calling greater attention to these magnifcent animals, we can help generate more international attention, more resources, and more conservation action to save them.
Österreichs Jahrhundert des Naturschutzes
    Gepp, Johann

Die Naturschutzbewegung ist seit rund 100 Jahren breitenwirksam. Der Österreichische Naturschutzbund betrachtet sich – mit zunehmender Anzahl von Schwesterorganisationen – von Anfang an als impulsgebender Motor. In den frühen Jahren des 20. Jahrhunderts galten Arten- und Landschaftsschutz vordringlich. Mit dem Erkennen der ökologischen Zusammenhänge wurden das Management natürlicher Ressourcen, der großräumige Habitatschutz sowie die gezielte Biotoppflege allmählich ebenso als relevant eingestuft. Mit der Industrialisierung und ihren Belastungen erwachte ein Umweltschutzbewusstsein, das ein globales Umdenken erfordert. Der Naturschutzbund war und ist Mahner gegen Umweltbelastungen und Initiator von Natur- und Umweltschutzgesetzen, Nationalparken, Naturschutzgebieten und „Prediger“ für ein naturverbunden nachhaltiges Leben in ökosozialer Ausgewogenheit. Wie sähe Österreich ohne Naturschutzbund aus?“
UK peatland strategy : 2018-2040
   

Beautiful and dramatic, UK peatlands are evocative landscapes home to rare and endangered wildlife, as well as rich in cultural history. The UK’s first collaborative Peatland Strategy has been developed by the IUCN UK Peatland Programme to capture and embed, for the long term, a shared vision for our peatlands, helping maintain a focus across a broad partnership and allowing progress to be marked and celebrated. The UK Peatland Strategy encompasses all peatlands in the United Kingdom and is also of relevance to the UK Overseas Territories. It sets the context for the devolved administrations strategic peatland action plans. The goals contained within the UK Peatland Strategy recognise the diversity within and between peatlands and the pressures that are exerted on them, but identifies a common way forward. The strategy is not an end in itself but a tool to support ongoing collaborative and co-ordinated effort to tackle one of the great environmental challenges of our time.
Conservation strategy and action plan for Cuvier's gazelle (Gazella cuvieri) in North Africa 2017-2026
   

Cuvier’s gazelle (Gazella cuvieri) is a species endemic to North Africa, with its distribution being limited to Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia. The species is listed on CITES Appendix I and CMS Appendix I, within the framework of which the CMS Sahelo-Saharan Antelopes Action Plan was developed. Since it was created, this strategy has aimed to follow the abovementioned regional Action Plan and to become a tool for its implementation in order to protect this gazelle. The aim of this strategy is to ensure that by 2050 there are viable, connected populations of Cuvier’s gazelle, occupying natural habitats in an area close to its historic range. The success of this strategy is closely linked to the work by several stakeholders at different levels where each one must act in collaboration with various institutions in order to accomplish these goals effectively.
