An essential element in the development, and monitoring, of resource management plans is the information provided by fisheries data collected across the three districts. The data collection protocol has been adapted since the Programme’s inception in 1994 and the most significant modification took place in January 2002. A more detailed analysis of the fisheries data was required in order to better determine the effect of the management plans and their associated activities.

This Guide provides a short description of each of the activities within the overall Information Management System, and uses of the system for adaptive management within the TCZCDP. The Guide is divided into two parts. The first part of the Guide provides an overview of the different elements within the overall Information Management System.

Using Geographic Information System (GIS) analyses and literature review, this study examines the current List of Natural and Mixed WH Sites from the perspective of natural values related to biogeography, habitats and biodiversity. The review addresses Criteria (ix) and (x) under the draft revised Operational Guidelines (OGs) ([ii] and [iv] under the current OGs) - Criteria (vii) and (viii) are not addressed.

This report presents a summary of the presentations and the main outputs from the working groups of the workshop “Harmonisation of Tentative Lists in Central, Eastern and South-Eastern Europe” held on Vilm from May 9th to 13th, 2007. The report is complemented by a CD-ROM containing the workshop's presentations and the most relevant reference papers (see Annex for an overview of the documents).

The strategy paper analyses the coverage of the world’s existing natural and mixed World Heritage (WH) sites and sets out some indicative future priorities. It is largely based on a more detailed analysis (available separately) of the world’s natural and mixed WH sites undertaken by the United Nations Environment Programme’s World Conservation Monitoring Centre (UNEP-WCMC), titled: “A Review of the Global World Heritage Network: Biogeography, Habitats and Biodiversity”.

This report discusses role of the World Heritage Convention in recognizing and protecting geological and geomorphological heritage, and presents proposals based on a global consultation.

This report was commissioned by IUCN’s Programme on Protected Areas and financed by the World Heritage Fund in response to a request from the World Heritage Committee (27th session, 2003). A literature review was carried out and consultation with regional experts and members of IUCN’s World Commission on Protected Areas (WCPA) to identify a limited number of sites which may have potential for natural World Heritage status from among almost three hundred protected areas in Central Asia.

This guidance sets out the suggested procedures for compiling retrospective Statements of Outstanding Universal Value (OUV) and for submitting them for approval by the World Heritage Committee.

A knowledge management study was undertaken in the IUCN Asia Region by Rod Abson, Science and Knowledge Management Officer in the Science and Knowledge Management Unit of IUCN from the 25th of October to 12th of November 2010.

This Annual Report highlights some of the key events and activities of CEESP members during 2010 and enables others to see what an amazing group of professionals contribute to CEESP.
