This fifth edition of the Global Re-introduction Perspectives provides 54 case studies covering invertebrates, fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals and plants. We hope the information presented in this book will provide a broad global perspective on challenges facing re-introduction projects trying to restore biodiversity.

Recent developments have seen forest landscape restoration (FLR) become widely recognized as an important means of not only restoring ecological integrity at scale but also generating additional local-to-global benefits. This handbook presents the Restoration Opportunities Assessment Methodology (ROAM), which provides a flexible and affordable framework for countries to rapidly identify and analyse FLR potential and locate special areas of opportunity at a national or sub-national level. The handbook offers practical advice and options to bear in mind when considering or conducting an FLR assessment using ROAM, as well as real-life examples of the kinds of outputs you can expect, and will enable you to commission or design a tailor-made process to meet your specific needs. This "road-test" edition of the handbook is being circulated to engage others in the process of learning about -- and improving -- the methodology. A revised version of the handbook will be published at a later date in order to integrate learning from the road-testing process.

This study was commissioned by IUCN Programme Aires Protégées – UICN-PACO in late 2014 to develop comprehensive understanding for the scaling potential of the “small grants for biodiversity” model, and to improve the design and/or targeting of future investments. The objectives of the study are to assess the effectiveness and efficiency of delivery of the planned outcomes from small grants programmes in West and Central Africa during the past 10 years as well as their impact on biodiversity.

   

Mediterranean Reflections 2014/2015 is a report summarizing the activities undertaken by the Centre for Mediterranean Cooperation of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN-Med) based in Malaga in 2014 and 2015. 

   

The objective of this report is to identify financial product structures that have the potential to establish conservation finance in mainstream investment markets. This report focuses on investment mechanisms that activate one or more cash flows generated by the sustainable management of an ecosystem, which in part remain within the ecosystem to enable its conservation, and in part are returned to investors. It is primarily targeted at mainstream investors who are interested in learning more about investment structures that provide a market-rate return and a positive conservation impact 

   

La population marocaine de grandes outardes (Otis tarda), une espèce menacées de l'UICN™, est en faible nombre et en déclin, et elle survit principalement dans deux sites de reproduction (leks) où l'on dénombre entre 40 et 50 oiseaux. La finalité est de sauvegarder les principaux leks (Araoua et Tieta-Rissana) d'ici 2025, grâce une désignation nationale adaptée et à l'entier soutien des communautés, et de permettre à la population de grandes outardes de croître (80-100 oiseaux) et de commencer à s'étendre vers ses anciens sites. 

   

The Moroccan population of the Great Bustard Otis tarda, a Vulnerable species according to the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™, is small and declining, surviving mainly in two breeding areas (leks) and numbering some 40 to 50 birds. The goal is that by 2025, the key leks of Araoua and Tleta-Rissana will be safeguarded by appropriate national designations and strong community support, with the Great Bustard population increased to 80-100 birds and starting to expand to former areas.

Archetypal wild man Edward Abbey and proper, dedicated Wallace Stegner left their footprints all over the western landscape. Now, award-winning nature writer David Gessner follows the ghosts of these two remarkable writer-environmentalists from Stegner's birthplace in Saskatchewan to the site of Abbey's pilgrimages to Arches National Park in Utah, braiding their stories and asking how they speak to the lives of all those who care about the West. Gessner takes us on an inspiring, entertaining journey as he renews his own commitment to cultivating a meaningful relationship with the wild, confronting American overconsumption, and fighting environmental injustice―all while reawakening the thrill of the words of his two great heroes.
