Best practice for conservation planning in rural areas
   

This report draws on lessons learned from observations made at seven case study sites, all of which permit economic activities, especially recreation, that are not harmful to the biological values and natural functions of the area. There is now a need to translate these experiences into policy instruments. The guidelines, summarised in some 20 pages, offer sound and well-documented advice on how to proceed.

A directory of wetlands in the Middle East
    Scott, Derek A.

This very first directory of wetlands of one of the most arid zones on earth is intended to increase awareness among decision makers and planners of the consequences of wetland loss and degradation. It will also assist responsible authorities to identify new sites for listing under the Ramsar Convention. The directory consists of a series of national reports describing the principal wetlands in 13 countries. Over 50 individuals and organizations have contributed some with previously unpublished information. Each report includes a summary of the general wetlands situation with outline map; information on the institutional and legal base for wetland conservation and research; accounts of wetlands considered of greatest conservation importance. The 223 site descriptions cover size and location, physical and ecological features, ownership, degree of protection, land use, threats and conservation values.

Conserving biodiversity outside protected areas : the role of traditional agro-ecosystems
    Halladay, Patricia | Gilmour, D. A. (Donald Allan)

Limits to expansion of protected area systems underline the importance of seeking new ways to conserve biodiversity. There are many examples where traditional rural communities have shown their capacity to maintain high biological and cultural diversity. The 12 cases studies ranging from the High Andes to Viet Nam support the view that certain traditional agricultural and postoral systems can succeed in attaining a sustainable level of production while at the same time maintaining a high level of biodiversity as well as most functional aspects of the ecosystems.
Paradise on earth
