The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is one of the world’s most biodiverse countries, home to over 10,000 plant species and iconic wildlife like mountain gorillas, bonobos, okapis, and forest elephants. Its ecosystems include the vast Congo Basin rainforest, savannas, wetlands, and montane forests, many of which are globally significant. However, this biodiversity faces significant conservation challenges, exacerbated by socioeconomic instability.

Le Cameroun abrite une biodiversité riche qui s’étend sur ses savanes, ses forêts et ses écosystèmes d’eau douce. Celle-ci soutient plus de 9 000 espèces de plantes, 900 espèces d’oiseaux et près de 300 espèces de mammifères, notamment des animaux en danger emblématiques comme l’éléphant des forêts, le gorille de plaine de l’Ouest, le chimpanzé, le lion et le lamantin.

Cameroon hosts rich biodiversity that stretches across its savannahs, forests, and freshwater ecosystems, supporting over 9,000 plant species, 900 bird species, and nearly 300 mammal species, including iconic and endangered animals like forest elephants, western lowland gorillas, chimpanzees, lions, and manatees.

This report tells the story of 10 years of the Asia Protected Areas Partnership (APAP) and the impact it has had. Understanding the impact of a wide-ranging partnership is never easy; outputs such as the 2nd Asia Parks Congress (APC2) reported here were only possible thanks to the efforts of a multitude of individuals and organisations. This report thus considers impacts based on APAP’s overarching objectives.

At World Trade Organization (WTO), the key characteristic according to which support to agricultural producers is classified is their ability to distort international trade rather than their incidence and impacts on social or environmental dimensions. There is a lack of studies and analytical framework to guide policy decisions, such as understanding how specific support, in general, and in different agricultural sub-sectors, are linked to biodiversity, economic, social, and trade outcomes.

The IUCN World Heritage Outlook 4 assesses 271 natural and mixed World Heritage sites. Complementing the official monitoring processes under the World Heritage Convention, the World Heritage Outlook offers the most in-depth analyses of threats facing natural World Heritage around the world and their protection and management status.

This document provides an overview of IUCN’s Resolutions and policy positions relating to pollution, organized in four main areas:

Les sociétés du monde entier exploitent les espèces sauvages, dans une mesure plus ou moins grande, pour l’alimentation, les matériaux de construction, les soins de santé, les médicaments, la lutte contre les parasites, l’ornementation, générer des revenus, les loisirs, ainsi qu’à des fins culturelles et spirituelles.

This exciting new publication brings together real-world examples of how companies are working with IUCN to advance global nature and biodiversity goals. From innovative partnerships to on-the-ground solutions, these stories show how companies can deliver measurable benefits for biodiversity, people, and business alike.

This compendium, developed by Ipieca and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), aims to encourage the exploration of co-use opportunities in solar and wind energy projects, focusing on onshore projects. The main co-use strategies typically fall into several key categories, depending on the secondary land use integrated with renewable energy projects. Co-use could include co-locating two or more types of renewable energy generation on one site.
