Инструмент для локального выявления прочих эффективных зональных природоохранных мер (ОЕСМ) : Первое издание
    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.

Глобальный план действий в отношении видов
   

The Global Species Action Plan (GSAP) is a critical initiative developed to support the implementation of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF), to address the increasing biodiversity loss worldwide. The GSAP outlines strategic interventions and actions to conserve and sustainably manage species while ensuring equitable benefits. Emphasizing the critical role of species in ecosystem stability, human livelihoods, and cultural heritage, the GSAP seeks to prevent extinctions, reduce threats, and ensure equitable benefits from species use. Implementation involves diverse stakeholders, including governments, Indigenous peoples and Local communities, NGOs, academia, and businesses, fostering cooperation at global, regional, and local levels. The GSAP underscores the collective responsibility to safeguard Earth’s rich biological heritage for future generations.
Guidelines for the application of IUCN Red List of Ecosystems Categories and Criteria : version 2.0
   

The IUCN Red List of Ecosystems is the global standard for ecosystem risk assessment and a framework for monitoring the status of the world’s ecosystems. It  is part of the growing toolbox for assessing risks to biodiversity and aims to support conservation, resource use and management decisions by identifying ecosystems most at risk of biodiversity loss. By targeting a level of biological organisation above  species, the IUCN Red List of Ecosystems complements The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™ in supporting biodiversity conservation decision-making and action. The IUCN Red List of Ecosystems Categories and Criteria are designed to be widely applicable across ecosystem types and geographical areas, transparent and scientifically rigorous, and easily understood by policymakers and the public.

Amphibian conservation action plan
   

As the most threatened vertebrate class on earth, amphibians are at the forefront of the biodiversity crisis, with the recognition of global amphibian declines and extinctions dating back several decades now. The current Amphibian Conservation Action Plan is adopting two strategies to address the goal of the amelioration of the amphibian crisis: the development of two complementary documents that work to 1) synthesise developments in major themes of amphibian conservation over the last 15 years, as in this document, and 2) summarise the key findings and recommendations to a broader audience in a user-friendly way (a practitioner document that will follow this synthesis document). The purpose is thus to provide the most up-to-date  evidence on threats and approaches to amphibian conservation, and from there identify gaps and priorities that can then be disseminated and adopted by stakeholders across the globe.
让企业参与自然保护
   

With 26 case studies from 10 multinational companies, this publication highlights their positive actions, interventions and initiatives contributing to specific conservation and restoration goals. The concrete examples illustrate a pivotal part of their work which have direct impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem on their sites and operations, focused on a variety of additional and proactive biodiversity conservation and restoration actions more commonly within the landscape and seascape. The different case studies seek to present current voluntary practices and initiatives that are above and beyond addressing the negative impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem services onsite. While not exhaustive, these case studies seek to be illustrative of current voluntary practices and demonstrative of some of the kinds of initiatives that are currently being carried out.
ビジネスのためのネイチャーポジティブ
    Baggaley, Stacey | Johnston, Mark | Dimitrijevic, Julie | Le Guen, Camille | Howard, Pippa | Murphy, Leo | Booth, Hollie | Starkey, Malcom

Nature (covering the water, biodiversity, soil/land, and air/climate realms) continues to decline with significant negative impacts on society. Businesses need to understand their impacts and  dependencies on nature, manage their nature-related risks and embed the value of nature into their decision making to identify and implement opportunities that contribute towards the nature-positive global goal. Achieving nature-positive requires collective action across sectors, value chains and landscapes. Fundamentally, nature-positive represents a systemic and transformative shift rather than ‘re-shaping’ of current practices. Utilising prioritisation approaches can enable businesses to identify areas where they can have a material and meaningful  contribution from the outset as systemic and transformative change is adopted through the business.

Le positif pour la nature pour les entreprises
    Baggaley, Stacey | Johnston, Mark | Dimitrijevic, Julie | Le Guen, Camille | Howard, Pippa | Murphy, Leo | Booth, Hollie | Starkey, Malcom

La nature (l’eau, la biodiversité, les sols et l’air/le climat) continue de décliner, ce qui a des impacts négatifs considérables sur la société. Les entreprises doivent comprendre leurs impacts sur la nature et leurs dépendances envers elle, gérer leurs risques naturels et intégrer la valeur de la nature dans leur processus décisionnel pour repérer et mettre en oeuvre les occasions contribuant à la réalisation de l’objectif mondial positif pour la nature. Fondamentalement, le positif pour la nature représente un changement systémique et transformateur plutôt qu’un « remodelage » des pratiques actuelles. Le recours à des méthodes  d’établissement des priorités peut permettre aux entreprises de cibler des domaines où elles peuvent apporter une contribution importante et significative dès le début de l’adoption d’un changement systémique et transformateur au sein de l’entreprise.
Naturaleza positiva para las empresas
    Baggaley, Stacey | Johnston, Mark | Dimitrijevic, Julie | Le Guen, Camille | Howard, Pippa | Murphy, Leo | Booth, Hollie | Starkey, Malcom

La naturaleza (en los ámbitos del agua, la biodiversidad, la tierra/suelo y el aire/clima) sigue disminuyendo, con importantes repercusiones negativas para la sociedad. Las empresas deben  comprender su impacto y su dependencia respecto a la naturaleza, gestionar los riesgos relacionados con ella e integrar el valor de la naturaleza en su toma de decisiones para identificar y  aplicar oportunidades que contribuyan al objetivo global de una naturaleza positiva. Fundamentalmente, naturaleza positiva representa un cambio sistémico y transformador más que una «reformulación» de las prácticas actuales. El uso de enfoques de priorización puede permitir a las empresas identificar áreas en las que pueden tener una contribución material y significativa  desde el principio, a medida que se adopta el cambio sistémico y transformador a lo largo de la empresa.

Développement d’une capacité régionale en comptabilité du capital naturel des zones protégées en Afrique de l’Ouest
    Van den Hoof, C. | De Nocker, L. | Sanon, A.A. | Tiemtoré, S. | Buchhorn, M. | Smets, B.

L’Afrique de l’Ouest se caractérise par une croissance démographique rapide, une pauvreté endémique ainsi qu’une mauvaise gouvernance et une piètre gestion des ressources naturelles. Cette situation est exacerbée par les effets négatifs du changement climatique et conduit sans équivoque à l’épuisement du capital naturel ouest-africain, y compris des écosystèmes dont la population est en grande partie tributaire. La conservation et la gestion des ressources naturelles, qui sont un besoin impérieux pour le développement durable de notre planète, réclament une prise de décision éclairée en faveur d’une croissance durable et d’un développement à long terme. La Comptabilité du Capital Naturel (CCN), également connue sous le nom de comptabilité écosystémique, peut apporter une réponse à la demande d’informations fondées sur des données probantes pour l’élaboration des politiques.
Development of a regional capacity in natural capital accounting of protected areas in West Africa
    Van den Hoof, C. | De Nocker, L. | Sanon, A.A. | Tiemtoré, S. | Buchhorn, M. | Smets, B.

West Africa is characterized by rapid population growth, endemic poverty and poor governance and management of natural resources. This situation is exacerbated by the negative effects of climate change and is unequivocally leading to the depletion of West African natural capital, including the ecosystems on which the population largely depends. Conservation and management of natural resources, which is a necessity to sustain our planet, requires well-informed decision-making towards sustainable growth and long-term development. Natural Capital Accounting (NCA), also known as ecosystem accounting, can be an answer to the request for evidence-based information for policy-making.
Planet on the move
   

Our living planet is and has always been on the move. Many species move in search of necessities such as food, water, shelter, reproduction, and safety. In some cases, movements are an adaptive response to environmental stresses and shocks; in other cases, environmental change, whether land degradation, climate change or other forms, may add to other drivers of migration. This report seeks to assess conservation challenges and opportunities at the confluence of migration, environmental change and conflict; initiate a widely inclusive dialogue with sensitivity towards justice and the difficult trade-offs ahead; and peer cautiously into the future while offering some optimism through the lens of environmental peacebuilding.
Directrices de la CSE de la UICN sobre conflictos y coexistencia humano-vida silvestre
   

Debido a que los conflictos humano-vida silvestre son cada vez más frecuentes, graves y generalizados en todo el mundo, su resolución es cada vez más desafiante. Las directrices pretenden sentar las bases y los principios de las buenas prácticas, con orientaciones claras y prácticas sobre la mejor manera de abordar los conflictos y hacer posible la coexistencia con la vida silvestre. Estas han sido desarrolladas para ser utilizadas por profesionales de la conservación, líderes comunitarios, responsables de la toma de decisiones, investigadores, funcionarios gubernamentales, entre otros. Centradas en enfoques y herramientas para el análisis y la toma de decisiones, no se limitan a ninguna especie o región del mundo en particular.
Categorias e critérios da EICAT da UICN : primeira edição
   

Como resposta a estas questões, foi desenvolvida uma classificação padronizada dos táxones exóticos, baseada na magnitude dos seus impactos ambientais. EICAT (Classificação do Impacto Ambiental de Táxones Exóticos) o trata-se de um método simples, objetivo e transparente para classificar táxones exóticos de acordo com a magnitude dos seus impactos prejudiciais para o ambiente nas áreas recetoras. Com base na evidência dos impactos causados nos táxones nativos nas áreas em que foram introduzidos, os táxones exóticos são classificados em uma de cinco categorias de impacto. Cada uma destas cinco categorias de impacto representa uma magnitude de impacto diferente, dependendo do nível de organização biológica (indivíduo, população ou comunidade) sobre a qual o impacto é exercido e da reversibilidade do mesmo.
Rapid assessment and monitory of biodiversity recovery at remediated oil spill sites in the Niger Delta
    Hagemeijer, Ward J. M. | Aminu-Kano, M. | Igwe, Ogbonnaya | Onwuteaka, John

Engaging in oil activities poses a significant risk of impacting the environmental and social values in a landscape. The aim of the remediation effort is to restore the site’s environmental and socio-economic  values. In natural habitats, this is about the recovery of biodiversity and the ecosystem functioning. This field manual aims to guide the design and implementation of biodiversity monitoring (recovery), following remediation of an oil spill. Its objective is to enhance understanding of recovery processes  as well as the linkage between the recovery process and the effects of remediation.
Monitoring biodiversity after oil spill remediation in the Niger Delta
    Onwuteaka, John | Onoja, J. | Ekweozor, I.K.E. | Akani, G. | Ugbomeh, A. | Ebere, N. | Alawa, N. | Udofia, E. | Woforodo, V. | Onyinye, C. | Okeke, N. | Uyi, H. | Otufu, P. | Duboyesuku, A. | Nwokocha, G. | Solomon, R. | Onisosweiya, O. | Joel, P. | Ndubaden, O. | Bennett, K. | Agangila, C. | Otufu, R. | Onumonu, W.

The Niger Delta region of Nigeria is facing severe environmental challenges due to widespread oil extraction activities, resulting in recurring oil spills and adverse effects on biodiversity, ecosystem services and livelihoods. This report documents the implementation of protocols of the IUCN Niger Delta Biodiversity Technical Advisory Group (BTAG) on two impacted sites at Adibawa Well 8 S/L wellhead in Joinkrama, Rivers State, and Adibawa North-East 1 wellhead in Tien Biseni, Bayelsa State, both located in the Niger Delta, Nigeria. The innovative approach of BTAG integrates eDNA analysis with traditional field sampling to enhance the monitoring strategies, offering a more comprehensive understanding of ecological recovery.
