| Relevant operative para(s) of Res/Rec | Activities Overview | Description | Status | Action |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Scientific/technical activities | SFI is engaging with the National Council for Air and Stream Improvement (NCASI) Foundation to quantify the role of sustainably managed forest landscapes in conserving species at risk, listed species, and maintaining aquatic and terrestrial communities. We will examine multiple species over an extended time horizon in a landscape dominated by SFI‑certified, private forests managed primarily for timber production. Target at-risk species that will benefit from this research include the Alabama map turtle, alligator snapping turtle, gopher tortoise, Red Hills salamander, and eastern diamondback rattlesnake. | On-going | Full activity report |

Scientific/technical activities
Describe the results/achievements of the activities
The implementation of the resolution WCC-2022-Res-057 has been led by a group comprising of members from Conservation International, CEESP & CEM, including Rosimeiry Portela and Nicholas Conner. The implementation of this resolution parallels the implementation of the resolution WCC-2022-Res-057 Towards a Policy on Natural Capital, including the establishment of a working group to develop IUCN Natural Capital Policy. A similar working group is needed for the implementation of this resolution and the members of the two working groups may have some overlap.
Besides actions taken to establish a working group, there are many activities underway by IUCN Commissions, Members, and Secretariat that support the implementation and further development of accounting along the principles developed in the UN System of Environmental-Economic Accounting, including implementation of SEEA by IUCN Member States and actions by IUCN's different constituent parts to support it. These activties are described on an onging basis by the United Nations at https://seea.un.org/
