It includes the names of some 33,000 plant species determined to be rare or threatened on a global scale. Conservation assessments were provided by the IUCN Species Survival Commission, the National Botanical Institute (South Africa), Environment Australia and CSIRO,. The Nature Conservancy, the Smithsonian Institution, and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew together with hundreds of botanic gardens and botanists throughout the world. The Royal Botanic Gardens Edinburgh and New York Botanical Garden have made major in-kind contributions. The result of 20 years work by botanists and conservationists around the world, it is intended as a conservation tool, as provider of baseline information to measure conservation progress and as a primary source of data on plant species. Most importantly, however, it provides the building blocks on which to base a worldwide effort to conserve plant species.

They are significant not only for the continuation of a major evolutionary heritage, but also as symbols for the protection of African savannahs. The battle for the survival of these species has been marked by some notable successes and sadly, many failures, and the situation is still critical. The international horn trade ban and the domestic bans imposed in most traditional user states have driven the trade further \u0022underground\u0022, in some cases inflating prices and making illegal dealing even more lucrative. This plan is aimed at donors, government and non-government organisations, and all those involved in rhino conservation. It oulines the actions and strategies needed to catalyse support for these majestic animals, and help secure their future in sub-Saharan Africa.

It examines the laws of those user countries which have either declared that their ABS obligations are satisfied by existing national law, or have begun legislative development; the requirements, weaknesses and gaps in achieving benefit-sharing objectives; and the ways in which new or existing legal tools can be applied to these requirements.\u003C\/p\u003E","Order_number":null,"url_PDF":"https:\/\/portals.iucn.org\/library\/efiles\/documents\/EPLP-067-2.pdf","ISSN":null,"DOI":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2305\/IUCN.CH.2007.EPLP.67\/2.en","HTML":"https:\/\/portals.iucn.org\/docs\/library\/html\/EPLP-067-2\/cover.html","NoCopies":"2","CallNumber":"IUCN-EPLP-no.067, v.2","BiblioLevel":"m","Type":"official","Year":"2007","PrintAvailStatus":"unknown","Is_Published":"1","NID":"9101"},{"Date_created":"20.10.1997","Release_Date":"1997","Language":"En","Title":"Beyond fences : seeking social sustainability in conservation.

The relationship between poverty and protected areas is a complex one, but this book presents a balanced perspective on how protected areas relate to poverty, in both positive and negative ways. On the one hand, protected areas deliver multiple benefits to the people living around them, ranging from tourism to pollination. On the other hand, protected areas may prevent some forms of resource use, and harbour animals that may damage crops in adjacent lands. But by carefully addressing these potential conflicts in an open and inclusive manner, protected area authorities can forge a productive partnership with the rural poor. The issues certainly will require further discussion, but this book provides a useful beginning that is built on a broad consensus of leading organisations working in conservation and development.\u003C\/p\u003E","Order_number":null,"url_PDF":"https:\/\/portals.iucn.org\/library\/efiles\/documents\/2004-047.pdf","ISSN":null,"DOI":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2305\/IUCN.CH.2005.6.en","HTML":"https:\/\/portals.iucn.org\/docs\/library\/html\/PAs-contribute-poverty\/cover.html","NoCopies":"2","CallNumber":"IUCN-2004-047","BiblioLevel":"m","Type":"official","Year":"2004","PrintAvailStatus":"unknown","Is_Published":"1","NID":"8518"},{"Date_created":"29.09.2004","Release_Date":"2004","Language":"En","Title":"Canids : foxes, wolves, jackals and dogs : status survey and conservation action plan","Complete_title":"Canids : foxes, wolves, jackals and dogs : status survey and conservation action plan","Author":"Hoffmann, Michael| Macdonald, David W.

Case study presentations came from Africa, Central Asia and South America, with four working groups addressing a range of issues including characteristics of successful CBNRM programmes; income generation and conservation implications of CITES species listings for CBNRM; impacts of trade restrictions; and the relevance to CBNRM of international biodiversity goals, policies and initiatives.

Today, some 5,000 species have been described and many more await discovery and description. The value of dragonflies lies in their beauty and distinctive colours which make them valuable subjects for research on insect behaviour, both for ecology and art; the fact that their larvae are aquatic makes them a good indicator of water quality; and because they are predators, they are particularly useful in the control of mosquitoes which pass on diseases to human beings. However, most species of dragonflies live in the tropics and particularly in the rainforests.

Meanwhile, the diversity of species being tackled has increased, as has the range of countries now actively carrying out island restoration work. Inspired by pioneers from New Zealand and Australia, principally, today the movement has spread to islands in all oceans and off all continents. This expansion has been informed by, and has in turn produced, growing experience in all aspects of this field, from non-target impacts to ecological responses to factors affecting eradication success. A major aim of publishing these Proceedings is to inform people who are, or will in the future be, planning new projects to free islands of invasive species.

Approaches to planning and managing MPAs have evolved considerably. Major advances include innovative financing mechanisms, partnerships with the private sector and NGOs, and collaborative management between government and coastal communities. These advances have brought new approaches for MPA establishment and management that are more participatory, involving communities through interaction and collaboration rather than prescription. With new case studies and ilustrations, the guide comes in a water-resistant cover for field use.

As part of its efforts to palliate the lack of legislation and planning in this domain and to evaluate the effects of this trade, in 1990 the Tanzanian government initiated the Planning and Assessment for Wildlife Management (PAWM) project. As part of this project, a workshop on the live bird trade in Tanzania was organised in Dar Es Salaam in December 1991 and gave rise to a series of initiatives.

Thirty species, comprising over 50% of the primate fauna of the continent, have been identified as threatened, ranging from the little-known Angwantibo to the gorilla and chimpanzee. For each species a detailed account is provided, with information on distribution, population status, habitat, ecology, threats to survival and conservation action, as well as a summary of captive breeding efforts and a bibliography. An introduction places this information in the broader context of African primate conservation and discusses such issues as the uses of primates in biomedical research and the vital role they play as indicators of habitat loss.
