El Marco Estratégico para el Desarrollo de Capacidades (MEDC) es el resultado de un amplio programa de actividades y consultas llevadas a cabo durante 2013 y 2015, incluyendo  el Congreso Mundial de Parques  de Sídney celebrado en Australia noviembre de 2014. El MEDC tiene el objetivo de complementar, guiar y ampliar las recomendaciones  relativas al desarrollo de capacidades  incluidas en el Compromiso de Sídney que resultó del Congreso.

This fifth edition of the Global Re-introduction Perspectives provides 54 case studies covering invertebrates, fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals and plants. We hope the information presented in this book will provide a broad global perspective on challenges facing re-introduction projects trying to restore biodiversity.

Vultures, the largest and highest flying raptors, play an important role in ecology and culture. The vulture populations in Bangladesh are facing the same fate as the Gyps vultures of South Asia, which have suffered a catastrophic decline. White-rumped vultures, which were once the most abundant birds in the country, now number only a bit more than two hundred and fifty.

The IUCN Bangladesh Country Office has published this manual for conducting bird census, bird ringing and sample collection and analysis in hopes that it will provide a guidelines for correctly performing these tasks. This manual will be a great source of reference for researchers, experts, volunteers and all other stakeholders involved in the monitoring of wild birds and avian influenza. 

Recent developments have seen forest landscape restoration (FLR) become widely recognized as an important means of not only restoring ecological integrity at scale but also generating additional local-to-global benefits. This handbook presents the Restoration Opportunities Assessment Methodology (ROAM), which provides a flexible and affordable framework for countries to rapidly identify and analyse FLR potential and locate special areas of opportunity at a national or sub-national level.
