This document sets forth SSC guiding principles on the creation of proxies for extinct species as a potential conservation tool to restore biological diversity, to enhance ecosystem stability and resilience, and to engage in meaningful dialogue with the public about the role of proxy creation for conservation.
A story book about the children of Tanguar Haor who take lessons on the wetland's resources and also participate in different activities towards conservation of these resources.
This report provides a first comprehensive overview of marine conservation efforts in the European Overseas: In the context of rapid global development in these areas, it takes stock and pinpoints the actions required to improve marine protection and strengthen resilience in these diverse territories and to reconcile this with the opportunities provided by development of the blue economy and the challenges in the face of climate change.
Predicting climate change impacts on biodiversity is a major scientific challenge. A range of methods have been developed for climate change vulnerability assessment (CCVA) of species and a large and burgeoning scientific literature is emerging on this subject. Our motivation for preparing this document is to ease the challenge that conservation practitioners face in interpreting and using the complex and often inconsistent CCVA literature.
This study presents some lessons from a selection of IUCN interventions in dryland areas that have adapted to a greater or lesser extent to the conditions of drylands, notably focusing on water management to deal with scarcity and variability. The study is intended as a means of capturing lessons learned from these interventions on the challenges and opportunities for improving water development in drylands.
Kombinasi ancaman yang saat ini dihadapi kera besar yang tersisa membutuhkan tindakan konservasi yang segera di semua bidang - dari inisiatif di tingkat lapangan, melalui strategi nasional dan regional, hingga ke konvensi dan rencana aksi internasional. Dokumen ini menguraikan pendekatan saat ini untuk survei dan pemantauan kera besar bagi para ahli biologi lapangan, para manajer kawasan lindung, departemen satwa liar pemerintah dan masyarakat konservasi pada umumnya.
