Au cours de la période 2009-2012, la Global Water Initiative (GWI) en Afrique de l’Ouest, pilotée par le consortium formé de l’Union internationale pour la conservation de la nature (UICN) et l’Institut International pour l’Environnement et le Développement (IIED), a développé avec les partenaires des actions visant à promouvoir le partage des bénéfices avec les populations locales autour des réservoirs.

Drawing on a cross-section of 43 case studies prepared specially for this book, WaterWealth explains the challenges to improving water governance and management across Asia and the Pacific region. It illustrates many examples of new approaches and practices already being applied by basin managers to secure water for all. The solutions it presents are local ones—homegrown measures that build on international experience rather than transplants from elsewhere.

Many lemur species are on the very brink of extinction. Ninety-one per cent of all lemur taxa (species and subspecies) are now classified as Critically Endangered, Endangered, or Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. This publication outlines a three-year strategy for the conservation of the lemurs of Madagascar. The strategy contains 30 action plans for 30 different priority sites for lemur conservation.

Le objectif de cette publication est de fournir des orientations concernant la manière de mesurer l’impact du changement climatique sur la biodiversité marine des aires protégées, et les moyens permettant d’améliorer la planification en vue d’atténuer les impacts à venir.

This publication aims to give some guidance on how to measure the impact of climate change on the marine biodiversity of protected areas and how to improve planning for the mitigation of future impact. It also summarizes the most important threats to and effects on Mediterranean marine biodiversity that have been observed to date and outlines the many uncertainties that still exist in understanding ecological responses to climate change.
