La conservation de la diversité biologique dans les forêts tropicales aménagées : comptes rendus d'un atelier organisé lors de l'Assemblée générale de l 'UICN à Perth, Australie
    Blockhus, Jill M. | Dillenbeck, Mark R. | Sayer, Jeffrey | Wegge, Per

At the meeting of the International Tropical Timber Organization held in Bali in 1990, ITTO adopted the target of ensuring that all tropical timber marketed internationally should, by the year 2000, come from forests that are managed sustainably. This is an attempt to determine whether ITTO member countries have a legal and administrative basis for managing their production forests in ways which will allow these forests to contribute to biological diversity conservation; and the extent to which such management is already applied on the ground through member country studies.
Cogestion des forêts pour la conservation et le développement
    Fisher, R. J.

Explores various approaches including those which are forest-related such as community forestry and joint forest management as well as those concerned with protected areas. Covers key issues of theory and implementation and methodolgies for implementation
Etudes de l'UICN sur le Sahel : Sahel-Sahel une vision controversée
    Denève, Robert

This report analyses the factors which motivate land use by rural populations and provides a context for any policy or strategy which addresses natural resource conservation in the Sahel. The author suggests that production systems in the Sahel have reached or even exceeded their capacity to respond to the needs of a growing population and further that development aid has only had a negligible impact on the trend to over exploit. It offers a different perspective on issues concerning the Sahel.
Reservas extrativistas
    Pinzón Rueda, Rafael | Ruiz Murrieta, Julio

This account of extractive reserves in the Brazilian Amazon region provides practical examples of sustainability based on first-hand reports. The historical background is followed by examination of social organization, analyses of the economic viability of reserves, the key elements in developing an extractive reserve system, establishment of legislation in Brazil, and subsequent management. It underlines the importance of community involvement. Extractive reserves provide a model of forest management which succeeds in combining sustainable development and the conservation of natural resources applicable elsewhere in the world.
Des parcs pour la vie : des actions pour les aires protégées d'Europe
   

This plan sets out the policies and actions needed to ensure an adequate, effective and well-managed network of protected areas in Europe. It outlines how potential areas should be integrated with other sectors, such as agriculture, forestry and tourism; sets out priorities at European, sub-regional and national level; proposes actions to strengthen the legal framework, planning and management of Europe's protected areas, and explains how to create the public support necessary for success. Over 200 individuals and institutions have contributed to what has become IUCN's largest-ever exercise in regional collaboration between government agencies, NGOs and the individual staff of protected areas.

Centres of plant diversity : a guide and strategy for their conservation, v.2. Asia, Australasia and the Pacific
   

The rationale for this three-volume work covering nearly 250 major sites for conservation of plant diversity worldwide is concern about rapid global loss and degradation of natural ecosystems. By highlighting areas of prime botanical importance, it is hoped that their conservation will be ensured by an adequate commitment of resources. Selection of the sites is based both on floristic statistics and on detailed first-hand knowledge of numerous botanists. The data sheet for each site includes regional context, and outlines wider patterns of plant distributions, threats and conservation efforts; additional sites are also mentioned. This work will be essential reading for all those concerned with planning land use strategies for conservation and appropriate development. It is WWF and IUCN's hope that this global assessment will be followed by further assessments at the local level, so that the vital task of conservation of plant diverstiy can be well integrated in detail into national and regional conservation and development strategies.
