This report describes a rapid assessment of Important Plant Areas in the south and east Mediterranean; a project designed to provide the ‘wild plant perspective’ for the regional investment strategy of the Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund. The project partnership of IUCN, Plantlife International and WWF with botanical teams from Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Palestine, Tunisia, Syria and Albania, was supported by the French Development Agency.

Peam Krasop Wildlife Sanctuary (PKWS) is one of the most significant coastal wildlife sanctuaries in Cambodia because it maintains a sizeable area of both mangrove forest and evergreen forest, as well as a number of globally threatened species.

This book is inspired by the IUCN Species of the Day 2010 web initiative, and serves as a guide to 365 of the world's species on the IUCN Red List. This list profiles a wide variety of species from the official list of threatened animal, fungi and plant.

This report outlines the advances made by IUCN's Global Business and Biodiversity Programme in working with business to further global conservation goals — from helping develop Holcim’s Biodiversity Management System to bringing the business voice to CBD negotiations. IUCN also scaled up its influence with the private sector through new engagements with Nespresso, Rio Tinto and Tata Steel Thailand.

This report documents the modelled scenarios of local climate variability due to global climatic change, using the projected climate changes to modify the “no change”, 76-year long, monthly sub-catchment rainfall sequences, and average monthly evaporation values that serve as input to the hydrological catchment model that has been configured and calibrated for the Pangani Basin.

This publication has been prepared as part of the Flow Assessment Component of the Pangani River Basin Management Project. Its aim is to collect and synthesize present knowledge on the Pangani River system and its users, and to help promote an integrated approach to future water-allocation decisions.
