The purpose of this publication is to provide naturalists, resource managers and scientists with a simple guide to identify all species of seagrasses in the Red Sea. Each species is described in detail using photographs of key and diagnostic features. Key features are those that distinguish a particular species from most other species, whereas diagnostic features belong only to that species.

This document summarizes discussions that were held during a workshop in December 2011 and which focused on making progress on the identification of Ecologically and Biologically Significant Areas for seamounts in the high seas.

For the Aichi Biodiversity Targets to be met in full, and for the other relevant processes to be successful, examples and guidelines for the identification of important pelagic areas must be made available to policy makers involved in the process of identifying ecologically or biologically significant areas (EBSAs).

This book seeks to reposition the law as a tool for implementing higher good, or, in other words, for providing justice by seeking to ensure individuals have access to the services that ecosystems naturally provide, and guaranteeing the right to water for human well-being. The goal of the publication is to contribute to a better understanding of the legal and institutional arrangements necessary for promoting good governance of transboundary waters between two or more States.

Este libro articula claramente, por vez primera, cómo las áreas protegidas contribuyen significativamente a reducir los impactos del cambio climático y qué es lo que necesitarían para contribuir más. En un momento en el que entramos en una escala de negociaciones sin precedentes acerca del clima y la biodiversidad, es importante que estos mensajes lleguen – alto y claro – a los decisores de políticas y que sean traducidos en políticas eficaces y en mecanismos de financiamiento.

Le présent rapport expose clairement, et pour la première fois, à quel point les aires protégées contribuent à diminuer les effets des changements climatiques et ce qu’il faudrait faire pour qu’elles y contribuent encore plus.

Este libro presenta los resultados de un proyecto de investigación internacional que fue expresamente diseñado para examinar la aplicación de la estauración del paisaje forestal (RPF) a los ecosistemas forestales de las zonas secas de América Latina.

Les objectifs de ce guide visent principalement à appuyer les formations pratiques, à approfondir l'apprentissage, à apporter des solutions d'urgence et à surveiller les aires marines protégées régionales sur la base de procédures communes. Ce support technique permettra ainsi aux agents d'exercer leurs activités avec un maximum de sécurité et d'efficacité.

Asia countries have accomplished a great deal in understanding and documenting plant diversity. This edition of the Asian Plant Conservation Report presents readers with progress and successful cases of plant conservation in Asia. The first section introduces the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC). Subsequent sections provide basic information on features of plant diversity in Asia.
