Análisis de vulnerabilidad y riesgo climático del bioma amazónico y sus áreas protegidas
Ecosystem-based disaster risk reduction and adaptation in practice
    Estrella, Marisol | Nehren, Udo | Renaud, Fabrice G. | Sudmeier-Rieux, Karen

This book is a compilation of recent developments in the field of ecosystem-based disaster risk reduction and climate change adaption (Eco-DRR/CCA) globally. It provides further evidence that ecosystem-based approaches make economic sense, and showcases how research has progressively filled knowledge gaps about translating this concept into practice. It presents a number of methods, and tools that illustrate how Eco-DRR/CCA has been applied for various ecosystems and hazard contexts around the world. It also discusses how innovative institutional arrangements and policies are shaping the field of Eco-DRR/CCA. The book is of relevance to scientists, practitioners, policy-makers and students in the field of ecosystem management for disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation.
Sustainable management of the trade in reticulated python skins in Indonesia and Malaysia
    Lyons, Jessica A. | Natusch, Daniel J.D.

Each year, approximately 300,000 reticulated pythons (Python reticulatus) are harvested from the wild in Indonesia and Malaysia to supply skins for the international trade in exotic leathers. Concerns have been raised about the sustainability of such a high level of off-take, along with issues related to illegal trade and humane treatment of snakes. The Python Conservation Partnership, members of the IUCN SSC Boa & Python Specialist Group, and scientists from Indonesia and Malaysia, undertook an intensive program of research to provide recommendations for managing and regulating harvest and trade in wild reticulated pythons.

Land restoration : reclaiming landscapes for a sustainable future
Malaysia's invisible ivory channel
    Krishnasamy, Kanitha

Malaysia is the world’s paramount illicit ivory transit country. To better understand this trade dynamic, TRAFFIC assessed information from ivory seizures -- made either by Malaysian authorities, or outside the country but with Malaysia identified as part of the trade chain -- from a period of over 11 years (from January 2003 to May 2014). This report discusses some insights from the seizures over this period, as well as highlighting needs and opportunities in order for Malaysia to remove itself from its current position as a country of international concern for illicit trade in ivory under CITES.

The Asian elephant is an endangered animal in its global ranges and categorized as ‘Critically Endangered’ in Bangladesh. It is also listed in the third schedule of the Bangladesh Wildlife (Conservation) Act (1974) and also included in the CITES Appendix 1. A current study found 268 resident wild elephants, 93 migratory elephants and 96 captive elephants in Bangladesh. Beside this, the study also produced 44 forest range wise route maps and identified and mapped 12 elephant corridors. Finally, a total of 57 transboundary elephant crossing points were identified, of which 39 points are natural crossing points through which elephants pass regularly, seven points are vagrant which elephants use occasionally, and 11 points are abandoned crossing points.

Status of Asian elephants in Bangladesh
Mangrove-related policy and institutional frameworks in Pakistan, Thailand and Viet Nam
    Beresnev, Nikolai | Broadhead, Jeremy | Phung, Thuy

Mangroves provide an array of benefits to coastal communities, but in spite of their many values, mangroves in Asia continue to be converted to other land uses and sustainable financing for their protection has not been forthcoming. This publication was prepared for the ‘Income for coastal communities for mangrove protection’ project (2015-2016) which aimed to develop a low-cost mechanism enabling public and private entities to responsibly promote mangrove conservation, carbon emissions reduction and sustainable development through the provision of incentives to local communities.

Workshop report : workshop on restoring Myanmar's degraded and deforested landscapes
   

This report summarises the main outcomes of the workshop on Restoring Myanmar’s Degraded and Deforested Landscapes, organised jointly by the Forest Department of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Conservation (MONREC), IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) and The Nature Conservancy (TNC) in Nay Pyi Taw, Myanmar, on 9-11 November 2016, with the financial support of UK aid and TNC. The workshop introduced the concept of Forest Landscape Restoration (FLR) and also presented the Restoration Opportunities Assessment Methodology (ROAM), a flexible framework that can be used to identify and prioritize FLR opportunities.
