Closing strategy : ending ivory trade in Hong Kong
    Lau, W. | Xu, Ling

Hong Kong was once a prominent trading centre for ivory in the 1970s and 1980s, but the industry contracted considerably following the implementation of CITES trade restrictions in 1990, and waning demand from traditional overseas consumers. However, resurgence in international ivory trade activity in the past decade, both legal and illegal, have also reinvigorated Hong Kong’s local ivory market. This has led many conservation advocates to campaign for a ban on ivory trade in Hong Kong. The Hong Kong Government’s proposal to phase out local ivory trade, which was first announced in January 2016 and developed in June 2016, as well as additional enforcement and licensing measures, would be a significant commitment if passed through Hong Kong’s Legislative Council. This report presents an assessment of commercial ivory trade in Hong Kong. Market surveys of ivory outlets were conducted during two periods—August and December 2015—with a rapid survey in November 2016 revisiting most of the same shops.

Background paper for livelihoods module workshop
    Davidson-Hunt, Iain J. (Iain Johnson) | Deutsch, Nathan | Meijer, Seline S. | Olsen, Nathalie

This paper has been prepared to inform discussions at the upcoming Livelihoods Module development workshop organised by the People in Nature (PiN) team. The workshop will build on discussions from 2013-16 between the PiN team and the Species Programme and TRAFFIC around the integration of PiN and the Red List of Threatened Speciesusing the Species Information Service. In addition to working on the content and architecture of the livelihoods module, the workshop will also identify key elements of the processes and protocols that need to be put into place to ensure the consistent application of the livelihoods module and the rigour of data collected.

The conservation status of marine biodiversity of the Pacific Islands of Oceania
    Buchanan, J.R. | Carpenter, K.E. | Greenfield, D.W. | Harvey, M.S. | Harwell, H.D. | Larson, H.K. | Lawrence, A. | Linardich, C. | Matsuura, K. | Motomura, H. | Munroe, T.A. | Myers, R.F. | Pippard, H. | Ralph, G.M. | Russell, B.C. | Smith-Vaniz, W.F. | Thaman, R.R. | Vié, J.-C. | Williams, J.T.

The Pacific Islands of Oceania are small islands and atolls occurring over a vast expanse of ocean that are characterized by immense biodiversity and endemism. This project represents a major expansion of the coverage of the Pacific Islands’ marine biodiversity on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. The threats to Pacific Island marine biodiversity are many. Results from IUCN Red List initiatives such as this can guide decision-making and conservation prioritization of Pacific Island governments, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and the private sector. By shaping regional and national policies with these data in mind, priority sites for maintaining marine biodiversity can be identified and conserved.
Gender-responsive restoration guidelines
   

The Restoration Opportunities Assessment Methodology (ROAM) was developed by IUCN and the World Resources Institute (WRI) to assist countries in identifying opportunities for forest landscape restoration (FLR), analysing priority areas at a national or sub-national level, and designing and implementing FLR interventions. As part of IUCN’s effort to update the methodology, these guidelines have been developed to ensure the application of ROAM and the ensuing FLR implementation, including any policy uptake and land-use planning, is gender responsive.

Valeur économique des services écosystémiques du Parc National de l’Ichkeul, Tunisie
    Daly-Hassen, Dr. Hamed

Le Parc National de l’Ichkeul se situe au Nord-Est de la Tunisie à 75 Km de Tunis. Il occupe 12.600 ha, couvrant successivement la montagne (1.363 ha), le lac Ichkeul (8.500 ha), et les marécages (2.737 ha). Le lac et les marais sont depuis longtemps reconnus comme l’une des principales zones humides du bassin occidental de la Méditerranée. Cette étude vise à évaluer la valeur économique des services écosystémiques rendus par le parc national de l’Ichkeul (PNI). Cette évaluation permettra de renforcer les connaissances sur le site et de sensibiliser davantage les décideurs et les usagers pour assurer la conservation et l’utilisation durable des différentes composantes de la biodiversité. Ceci permettra aussi de concilier les objectifs du PNI avec les attentes et les  aspirations de la population locale, notamment en termes d’usage et de valorisation des produits.
Natural marine World Heritage in the Arctic Ocean
   

The 1972 UNESCO World Heritage Convention unites nations behind a shared commitment to preserve the world’s outstanding cultural and natural heritage for the benefit of present and future generations. This report presents the results of a scientific assessment of globally significant ecosystems in the Arctic Ocean that may be of Outstanding Universal Value (OUV) with respect to the natural criteria for World Heritage status. The report is intended to advance recognition and conservation of globally significant natural marine sites in the Arctic, a region which is currently under-represented on the World Heritage List. The report does not assess potential OUV related to cultural heritage, which was beyond the scope of the project.

Blue solutions from Latin America and the wider Caribbean
   

This publication is a result of Blue Solutions’ second Regional Forum on Solutions for Oceans, Coasts and Human Well-being in Latin America and the Wider Caribbean Region. This four-day workshop was held in Cancún, Mexico in April 2015. During this event more than 40 participants presented their positive examples and engaged with the larger audience in discussions around how these examples can be adapted to address pressing challenges faced in other regions or sectors in Latin America and the Wider Caribbean. This publication compiles 50 blue solutions from Latin America and the Wider Caribbean region, most of which were presented. The cases are summarized within this publication and focus on topics such as marine protected areas, sustainable tourism, sustainable fisheries, sustainable livelihoods, conservation of resources and biodiversity and mitigation of the effects of climate change. It is an inspiring guide through activities and projects towards the protection and integrated, sustainable management of valuable and vulnerable coastal and marine ecosystems.
