Plastic has penetrated everyday life, and the disadvantages of plastics are becoming more and more visible: large quantities of plastics leak into rivers and oceans, with adverse effects to marine ecosystems and related economic activities. This report is one of the first of its kind to quantify primary microplastics leakage and to demonstrate that these primary microplastics are globally responsible for a major source of plastics in the oceans.

PANORAMA is a partnership initiative to facilitate learning from success in conservation. It promotes examples of inspiring solutions that showcase how nature conservation can benefit society. PANORAMA enables the wider application of such solutions through cross-sectoral global learning and exchange. Through a modular case study format, solutions are dissected into their replicable “building blocks”.

La restauration des paysages forestiers (RPF) offre un cadre complémentaire à l’aménagement forestier durable et une approche écosystémique dans les paysages où la perte de forêt a entraîné un déclin de la qualité des services fournis par les écosystèmes. Cet ouvrage a été rédigé par une équipe d’experts d’institutions très diverses, dont le travail a été coordonné par l’OIBT et l’UICN.

La restauración del paisaje forestal (RPF) ofrece un marco complementario para la ordenación forestal sostenible y el enfoque ecosistémico en paisajes donde la pérdida del bosque ha causado el deterioro de la calidad de los servicios del ecosistema.
