As habitats and ecosystems become increasingly altered and populations evermore impacted by human activities, a growing number of species will require some form of management of both individuals and populations to ensure their survival. Ex situ management is one possible option that can contribute to the conservation of threatened species.
La Liste Rouge des Écosystèmes de l’UICN est un nouveau cadre mondial pour surveiller l’état des écosystèmes. Elle fait partie d’une boîte à outils toujours en expansion qui sert à évaluer les risques encourus par la biodiversité et qui a pour but de servir d’appui aux politiques de conservation de la nature, à l’utilisation des ressources naturelles et aux décisions managériales en identifiant les écosystèmes qui présentent un risque élevé de perte de biodiversité.

This book is a compilation of some interesting stories of Tanguar Haor where the haor people tell their own stories of culture, tradition, joys, deprivation and struggle for survival.
The importance of groundwater in social and economic development is easily overlooked. Its value in the economy and in economic development is frequently underestimated when policy makers in governments, business investors or local farmers and communities assume that the springs, wells and boreholes they rely on will continue to supply high quality freshwater, forever. Where these mistaken assumptions continue, the benefits of groundwater for development will be lost.
The objective of this publication is to present lessons learned throughout the process of ‘making the case for ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) ’ to government and other stakeholders, encouraging them to include EbA approaches in broader adaptation strategies, and to bring about the required shifts in policy and finance.
This report has been prepared as part of an effort by IUCN to define its position on Nature-based Solutions (NbS) and plan for future work to advance this concept and support effective implementation of NbS to enhance ecosystem services provision and address societal challenges. The report proposes a definitional framework for NbS, including a set of general principles for any NbS intervention.
