Tabe'a II is a second more detailed analysis of the Arab region's World Heritage Programme based on the baseline established in the first report from 2011, as well as of the progress achieved since then. Specifically, the report provides a strategic update on the state of conservation of the Natural World Heritage properties in the Arab region based on the various assessment tools used by IUCN; further analyses the national Tentative Lists of the States Parties in the region; presents a selection of key case studies, success stories, challenges and lessons learnt; and provides a set of specific recommendations targeting the multiple layers related to World Heritage in the Arab region.

   

Reducing the environmental footprint of aquaculture has become a high priority as part of the drive for greater sustainability in modern society. To date, a major concern has been the challenge of feeding farmed fish with products that are nutritious but, at the same time, economically and environmentally sustainable. This guide sheds sheds light on the different sources of feed ingredients provided to fish during their life cycle. It should prove to be a very useful tool for anyone - researchers, professionals, and governments alike - who aims to reduce the impact of the aquaculture industry on marine and freshwater resources.

Singapore is known to play a major role in the global trade and consumption in shark and ray parts, though a country-specific analysis has not been conducted recently. Based on this, TRAFFIC and WWF undertook an exercise to understand the scale of this trade involving Singapore, and the role it plays. This assessment describes the characteristics of shark product trade through Singapore over a ten-year period, from 2005 to 2014 as well as the current regulatory systems in place.

El Proyecto "Facilitando la distribución de beneficios para REDD+" (2013-2016) buscó implementar acciones REDD+ tempranas, mediante mecanismos de distribución de beneficios eficientes y equitativos lo suficientemente robustos para ser integrados a largo plazo en los marcos de trabajo REDD+ nacionales e internacionales. Entre los principales aprendizajes y lecciones del proyecto se destaca la necesidad de establecer un modelo claro de gobernanza entre los diversos actores, para potenciar las fortalezas del manejo forestal sostenible, así como la necesidad del manejo adaptativo para ajustar una iniciativa al contexto nacional y local de una comunidad nativa.

Baseline assessment of coral reefs of North Ari is the first study to investigate spatial variation in reef condition within the context of different human pressures in one atoll in the Maldives. Specifically, this study aimed to investigate whether and how coral reef condition (fish biomass, structural complexity, coral composition and live cover, and foraminiferal assemblages) vary spatially among reefs with different population levels and/or under different management regimes within North Ari atoll.
