Legal aspects of the conservation of wetlands : papers presented at an international conference held in Lyon, France
    Untermaier, Jean

Papers presented at a symposium on the legal problems of the conservation of wetlands, jointly organized the IUCN Commission on Environmental Law and the Groupe des zones humides of the Société française pour le droit de l’environnement. The meeting, attended by almost 100 participants representing 25 countries, was held in Lyon, France, in September 1987. General presentations of the international aspects of wetlands conservation and the functioning of the Convention are followed by individual case studies and country reports. A great amount of detail on administrative practices of selected countries was obtained through the use of a questionnaire, which is produced in an Annex to the book.
The lowland grasslands of central and eastern Europe
    Tye, H.

Grasslands are an overlooked and poorly protected habitat even though semi-natural and managed grassland covers 10-20% of most central and eastern European countries. As agriculture intensifies, the extent of these already scattered sites and their species richness is declining. This report brings together information on the status, distribution, vulnerability and current conservation of primarily lowland grasslands in eight countries plus the western Republics of the former USSR.

Sources of industrial pollution in Nepal : a national survey
Fighting for survival : insecurity, people and the environment in the Horn of Africa
    Spooner, Bryan | Walsh, Nigel

A combination of violence and drought has had a pervasive and highly damaging effect on the societies and production systems of this region. This powerful document presents a wide range of social, economic, ecological and historical information and most importantly an expert analysis of the interlinkages. Featuring an impressive array of figures, maps and other data, the book also provides a valuable perspective by placing local influences and forces in a global context. The study presents a changing picture of adaptation, flexibility, and response between the different elements and sets the stage for a frank discussion of likely future trends.
IUCN Commission on Education and Communication : a guide for members
Swallowtail butterflies : an action plan for their conservation
    Collins, N. Mark | New, T. R.

This is the first insect Action Plan prepared by the IUCN Species Survival Commission, and was chosen because swallowtail butterflies are perhaps the most charismatic to non-entomologists. Some are the largest butterflies which exist, and the “birdwings” in particular have long excited wonder and comment among naturalists of all persuasions.

Out of a total of 573 species, 170 are considered to need conservation action. This Action Plan exemplifies the wide-ranging conservation needs of swallowtails by selecting a geographically broad suite of faunas and individual taxa for priority conservation action. Endangering processes are accelerating alarmingly in most of the regions listed for attention. The plan covers 34 regions throughout the world, considering within each region the conservation status of particular species, action needed, and how projects could be undertaken, together with an indication of costs involved.
Guidelines for establishing marine protected areas
    Kelleher, Graeme | Kenchington, R. A.

This text offers authoritative advice on the present day planning, policies and practices for marine protected areas. The Guidelines are intended primarily to help nations and states to establish national representative systems of marine protected areas as a vital component of the integrated management of their coastal and marine areas. The main text is supplemented by detailed appendices to assist in the planning of a system and of individual marine protected areas.
