Important plant areas of the south and east Mediterranean region : priority sites for conservation (Arabic version)
This report describes a rapid assessment of Important Plant Areas in the south and east Mediterranean; a project designed to provide the wild plant perspective for the regional investment strategy of the Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund. The project partnership of IUCN, Plantlife International and WWF with botanical teams from Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Palestine, Tunisia, Syria and Albania, was supported by the French Development Agency. 10 recommendations have been developed to help direct the conservation of wild plants in the Mediterranean.
Identification et analyse des lacunes des Zones clés de la biodiversité : cibles pour des systèmes complets d'aires protégées
Des zones importantes pour la conservation des oiseaux ainsi que des zones importantes pour les plantes ont déjà été identifiées dans plus de 170 pays. Lapproche des Zones clés de la biodiversité se base sur le travail accompli jusquà ce jour, dans le but de prodiguer des conseils pratiques aux gouvernements dans lidentification des cites qui doivent être protégés pour assurer lavenir à la fois de la biodiversité et de lhumanité.
Zones importantes pour les plantes en Méditerranée méridionale et orientale : sites prioritaires pour la conservation

Identification and gap analysis of key biodiversity areas : targets for comprehensive protected area systems
Important Bird Areas and Important Plant Areas have already been identified in more than 170 countries. The Key Biodiversity Areas approach builds on the work done to date, in order to provide practical guidance to governments in identifying those sites which must be protected to ensure the future of both biodiversity and humanity.
