Guía sobre la evaluación de impacto acumulativo en la biodiversidad para desarrollos eólicos y solares e infraestructura asociada
    Bennun, L. | Fletcher, C. | Cook, A. | Wilson, D. | Jobson, B. | Asante-Owusu, R. | Dakmejian, A. | Liu, Q.

Esta guía se alinea con las definiciones existentes en la literatura y utilizadas por las agencias gubernamentales y las instituciones financieras, que generalmente reconocen que los impactos acumulativos pueden resultar de los efectos sucesivos, incrementales y/o combinados de una acción. Esta guía se centra en la biodiversidad y el desarrollo eólico y solar, y está dirigida principalmente a planificadores gubernamentales y promotores de proyectos. Sin embargo, dado que está diseñada para ayudar a abordar algunos de los desafíos existentes en la EIA, su aplicabilidad es potencialmente más amplia. 
 
Practice guidance for protected and conserved area finance
    Meyers, David | Fitzgerald, Kathleen H. | Athanas, Andrea | Balasubramanian, Hari | Barr, Rhona | Bellot, Mariana | Berghöfer, Augustin | Bohorquez, John J. | Bowers, Kristina | Cumming, Tracey L. | Emerton, L. (Lucy) | Leineweber, Martin | Lister, Kristine | Martinez, Alonso | McGreevey, Michael | Mohanan, Kiran | Monteiro, Camila | Rhodes, Andrew | Ruiz, Lucía | Smith, Jessica | Snyman, Susan | Stevens, Candice | Thiele, Torsten | Tröger, Ulrike | Van Zyl, Hugo | Victurine, Ray | Waldron, Anthony

Protected and conserved areas (PCAs) have been proven to provide enormous value to nature, people and the economy. They are an effective means by which species, habitats and ecosystems can be conserved, restored and sustainably utilised. This Guide provides detailed frameworks, descriptions and insights into the use of conservation finance solutions to achieve PCA outcomes. The guidance presents the case for PCA investment and sustainable finance, describes the role and use of finance and economics to achieve PCA outcomes, and presents guidance on how to conduct strategic and practical financial planning in support of these outcomes. 
 
IUCN guidelines on responsible translocation of displaced organisms
    Sherman, Julie | Menon, Vivek | Kock, Richard | King, Tony | Luz, Sonja | N.V.K., Ashraf | Soorae, Pritpal S. | Moehrenschlager, Axel

Displaced organisms are individuals and groups of animals, plants, or fungi that have been recovered from legal or illegal trade, driven from their habitats through habitat destruction or human-wildlife conflicts, displaced or incapacitated by catastrophic events (fires, floods, and extreme weather events) or climate change, or captured or collected by humans. The full scale of irresponsibly translocated organisms is difficult to measure as most are unrecorded. Following the steps in this guidance, attempts can be made to maximise the conservation benefit of translocations of displaced organisms. 
 
Natural World Heritage in Oceania
    Sheppard, David | Bertzky, Bastian | Nimwegen, Paul van | Battistella, Luca | Emslie-Smith, Matthew | Chape, Stuart | Osipova, Elena | Shadie, Peter | Jungblut, Vainuupo

Natural and mixed World Heritage (WH) has generally not been a success in the Oceania region, due to limited support at all levels, unrealistic expectations about what WH can and cannot deliver, and a lack of resources to support all aspects of the WH process, particularly WH site management. This report assesses the implementation of the UNESCO World Heritage Convention in Oceania in relation to natural and mixed WH sites. It outlines recommendations which will, if applied, contribute to the more effective implementation of natural WH in the Pacific region.

An update on great ape population health, disease control and outbreak response
    Gilardi, Kirsten V. K. | Düx, Ariane | Gillespie, Thomas R. | Kalema-Zikusoka, Gladys | Leendertz, Fabian H. | Nze-Nkogue, Chimène | Patrono, Livia V. | Raphael, Jane | Sulistyo, Fransiska | Kambale Syaluha, Eddy | Whittier, Christopher A.

Since publication of the 2015 Great Ape Health Guidelines, great ape tourism has continued to gain in popularity, and landscape conversion continues on a steep trajectory. In addition, there has been a tremendous amount of new scientific research on pathogens that infect wild great apes. Furthermore, the world experienced epidemics of Ebola (in West Africa from 2014–2016 and in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) from 2018–2020) and the COVID-19 pandemic (2020–2023). The purpose of this Supplement is to provide protected area authorities charged with the conservation of great ape populations, and other stakeholders working in great ape habitats, with new and additional content to the 2015 Great Ape Health Guidelines, based on new papers published through 2022, with a specific focus on: an update on health issues of concern in great ape populations, new technologies, tools and approaches for surveillance and diagnosis of infectious diseases in great apes, and great ape disease prevention.

Guidelines on harvesting threatened species
    Roe, Dilys | Mallon, David P. | Hoffmann, Rachel | Cooney, Rosie

Societies around the globe harvest wild species, to a greater or lesser extent, for food, building materials, healthcare, medicines, pest control, ornamentation, income, recreation, and cultural and spiritual purposes. While this use of wild species directly contributes to the well-being of billions of people globally, over-exploitation of wild species is one of the key drivers of biodiversity loss. The IUCN Guidelines on harvesting threatened species advise decision-makers on whether, how and what to harvest to ensure the sustainable use of threatened animal, plant and fungal species. Drawing on insights from the IPBES Sustainable Use Assessment, they complement and expand on existing guidance and tools, such as the Guidelines for the Appropriate Use of IUCN Red List Data in Harvesting of Threatened Species and recent CITES guidance on the conduct of Non-Detriment Findings.

IUCN SSC guidelines on human-wildlife conflict and coexistence : first edition (Arabic version)
   

As human-wildlife conflicts become more frequent, serious and widespread worldwide, they are notoriously challenging to resolve, and many efforts to address these conflicts struggle to make progress. These Guidelines provide an essential guide to understanding and resolving human-wildlife conflict. The Guidelines aim to provide foundations and principles for good practice, with clear, practical guidance on how best to tackle conflicts and enable coexistence with wildlife. They have been developed for use by conservation practitioners, community leaders, decision-makers, researchers, government officers and others. Focusing on approaches and tools for analysis and decision-making, they are not limited to any particular species or region of the world.
Enhancing our heritage toolkit 2.0 (Arabic version)
   

World Heritage properties are internationally recognized as places of Outstanding Universal Value that should benefit from the highest level of management effectiveness. The Toolkit 2.0 offers a self-assessment methodology to evaluate management effectiveness in a World Heritage property or other heritage place. It contains 12 tools that can be used separately or collectively to understand in detail what is working well and what can be done better. The Toolkit supports managers in identifying ways to improve conservation practices, management processes and resource allocation – particularly if used before reviewing or updating management plans. While there is a focus on World Heritage, it can be applied to all heritage places, whether natural, cultural or combinations of both.

    Balfour, Dave | Ferreira, Sam H. | Gaymer, Jamie | Lewis, Claire | Mafumo, Humbulani | Makoma, Keitumetse | Mgoola, William | Reuben, Mmadi | Shaw, Jo A. | Uri-Khob, Simson

Rhinos are part of the charismatic megafauna of Africa and ar e valued in multiple ways by African and global stakeholders. Over the past three decades, continental, regional and national conservation efforts have produced successive rhino conservation  action plans and management plans. The African Rhino Specialist Group often supported these plans under the auspices of the IUCN Species Survival Commission. This framework for African rhino conservation builds upon past plans and presents fresh approaches to rhino conservation, integrating new insights with proven practices. This framework is an adaptive, living framework seeking to ensure that societal expectations are accommodated, particularly those of local peoples.
