The Gulf of Mannar and its surroundings : a resource book for teachers in the Mannar District
    Miththapala, Sriyanie
Increasing incidence and intensity of natural disasters and climate change are having over-arching impacts on the environment. Sustainable development is being undermined. Ecological services and their indirect economic values are frequently omitted from assessments. Mainstreaming ecosystem concerns – both ecological and economical – and integrating them into disaster management is essential. This multi-volume manual attempts to provide background information and guidance for integrating environmental concerns into disaster management. Volume 3 presents summarised resource material that is useful for field practitioners. The material ranges from technical papers on biodiversity and economic valuation to the description of tools such as Rapid Environmental Impact Assessments (RES) and CRISTAL (for community-based risk assessment). It also discusses international principles and frameworks, and contains various guidelines.
WaterWealth? : investing in basin management in Asia and the Pacific
    Das, Binayak | Lincklaen Arriëns, Wouter | Makin, Ian | Pangare, Ganesh

Drawing on a cross-section of 43 case studies prepared specially for this book, WaterWealth explains the challenges to improving water governance and management across Asia and the Pacific region. It illustrates many examples of new approaches and practices already being applied by basin managers to secure water for all. The solutions it presents are local ones—homegrown measures that build on international experience rather than transplants from elsewhere.

El clima cambia, cambia tú también : adaptación al cambio climático en comunidades locales del Perú
   

Learn about two places in Peru where communities are using traditional knowledge to adapt to climate change. The campesino communities in the Huasta District, who are developing management practices , such as terracing, irrigation canals, water reservoirs, and the management of puquiales with special emphasis on reforestation techniques using quenual trees (polylepis) for water harvesting. The Riparian communities in the district of Tamshiyacu, who are developing practices related to the traditional processing of varios natural resources, such as farina, and other practices such as the selective fishing according to the time of the year. This publication is part of a series produced by IUCN and SPDA through the project El Clima Cambia, Cambia tú También, supported by AECID.
El clima cambia, cambia tú también : adaptación al cambio climático en comunidades locales de Bolivia
   

Learn about the use of traditional knowledge in two places in Bolivia. The communities in the Chiquitano forest in Santa Cruz, where the sustainable management of communal chacras and the production of oil extracted from the Babassu palm represent an agricultural alternative in dry climates with seasonal changes. Also the community of Chita in Salar de Uyuni, Potosí, where the cultivation of quinoa represents an alternative in hostile climate conditions. This publication is part of a series produced by IUCN and SPDA through the project El Clima Cambia, Cambia tú También, supported by AECID.
The current status and distribution of freshwater fishes, land snails and reptiles in the Pacific Islands of Oceania
    Pippard, Helen

This report summarizes the conservation status of 167 freshwater fishes, 166 land snails and 157 reptiles native to the Pacific Islands of Oceania (Micronesia, Polynesia and Melanesia). It identifies Pacific Island species that are threatened with extinction at the global level, according to the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria – the world’s most widely accepted methodology for measuring extinction risk. Major threats are identified for each taxonomic group, and recommendations for conservation action are suggested.
The conservation status and distribution of reptiles of the Arabian Peninsula
    Bowles, Philip | Cox, Neil | Els, Johannes | Mallon, David P. | Tognelli, Marcelo F.

The Arabian Peninsula contains a diversity of desert and mountain habitats. Reptile species richness is high, with 172 species currently recognized. Among these, 89 species (52%) are endemic to the Arabian Peninsula. The conservation status of these species was assessed at a workshop held in Sharjah, UAE, 6-9 February 2012 through the application of the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria at the global and regional scales. Distribution maps were compiled for the majority of species. The dataset provides a valuable baseline to inform the conservation and development planning process.
