    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.

Catalysing biodiversity on buildings
    Brown, JD | Vega, K. | Grossinger, R. | Scuto, L.

The capacity of cities as landscapes to support biodiversity is accepted as one of the critical steps necessary to halt global biodiversity loss and also address the other two aspects of the triple planetary crisis, climate change and pollution. The intent of the report is to communicate opportunities for the integration of nature and biodiversity into the building scale, through the measures implemented within the individual building structure. The document provides context by reviewing global agreements and initiatives that support these themes, and discusses leading examples from global cities before providing a more in-depth review of the range of initiatives from eight European municipalities.

The Mediterranean blue carbon strategy aims to establish a comprehensive framework for the protection, restoration, and sustainable management of blue carbon ecosystems, such as Posidonia oceanica meadows and other seagrasses. These ecosystems are vital for climate change mitigation, carbon storage, and providing essential services like biodiversity, coastal protection, and sustainable livelihoods. The strategy outlines a roadmap from 2025 to 2030 to safeguard the Mediterranean's natural heritage by integrating scientific, economic, and community efforts. 
 
Site-level tool for identifying other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs) : first edition (Khmer version)
    Jonas, Harry D. | MacKinnon, Kathy | Marnewick, Daniel | Wood, Pete

Other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs) are sites outside protected areas that deliver effective and long-term in situ conservation of biodiversity. Biodiversity conservation may be the primary objective of the site, a secondary objective of a site that is managed for other purposes, or it may be an unintended consequence of the way the site is managed. OECMs may be governed and managed by governments, private entities or Indigenous peoples and local communities, or a combination of these. This tool guides an assessor through three steps to apply eight criteria which determine if a site qualifies as an OECM as set out under the Convention on Biological Diversity. For sites which do not currently meet all the criteria, the tool serves to highlight areas where further information or improvements in governance and management are required.
Biodiversity in natural mineral waters
    Borges, Maria Ana | Wallnöfer, Isabel

In an effort to align with the EU Code of Conduct for sustainable business and marketing practices, Natural Mineral Waters Europe (NMWE) is collaborating with the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) to develop a biodiversity strategy and indicator framework. This document provides a recommended approach for NMWE and members to establish their own strategy and indicators for biodiversity. The intention is to provide guidance to all NMWE members, including national associations, large multilateral corporations, and smaller individual mineral and spring water producers. It also aims to serve as a foundational element in advancing water stewardship initiatives. 
 
Reporting on forest damages and disturbances in the UNECE region
   

The frequency and intensity of wildfires, storms and pest outbreaks has been increasing rapidly for several decades, highlighting the vulnerability of the world’s forests and the impact of natural and human threats accelerated and intensified by climate changes. Although disturbance and mortality are inherent to forest ecosystems, and forest disturbance has always been a concern in forest management, monitoring the extent of damage has become a key priority in recent decades for effective policies ensuring the sustainable management of forests. To ensure that this critical information is available to all, the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) have summarized in this publication the main dynamics and significance of forest damage, and their reporting in the UNECE region. The publication invites readers to reflect on possible harmonized methodologies and reporting schemes. In this regard, it also underlines the collective effort that is essential for the forest sector. This publication is an important step towards improving international reporting on forest damage and the result of a collaborative effort of national and international experts, supported by the secretariat.
