This publication focuses on ecosystem governance in the context of urban-rural linkages, analysing nine case studies to develop principles for ecosystem governance. Ecosystem governance utilises the ecosystem approach, adopted by the Convention on Biological Diversity, which emphasises the interconnectedness of ecosystems and the importance of integrated management for the analysis of the case studies.
Jordan is situated at the intersection of three continents and is home to a variety of ecosystems and rich biodiversity. Maintaining this biodiversity in the face of climate change and human land use will require a representative and well-connected system of protected areas.
Las especies son los pilares fundamentales de los ecosistemas. Garantizan la salud, la estabilidad y la resiliencia de los sistemas naturales que sustentan la vida en la Tierra. Cuando estos pilares comienzan a colapsar, debido al declive o la extinción de especies, ecosistemas enteros pueden desmoronarse lo que desata una serie de efectos en cadena sobre la biodiversidad, el bienestar humano y la salud ambiental mundial.
Les espèces sont les éléments de construction des écosystèmes. Ils assurent la santé, la stabilité et la résilience des systèmes naturels qui sont au fondement de la vie sur Terre. Lorsque leurs populations s’effondrent, que les espèces déclinent, voire s’éteignent, les effets en cascade de ces effondrements sur la biodiversité mettent en péril des écosystèmes entiers, le bien-être des êtres humains et l’ensemble de la santé environnementale.
As human-wildlife conflicts become more frequent, serious and widespread worldwide, they are notoriously challenging to resolve, and many efforts to address these conflicts struggle to make progress. These Guidelines provide an essential guide to understanding and resolving human-wildlife conflict. The Guidelines aim to provide foundations and principles for good practice, with clear, practical guidance on how best to tackle conflicts and enable coexistence with wildlife.

This report evaluates the impacts of climate change on biodiversity and local communities across six protected areas (PAs) in Jordan, as part of IUCN’s project “Enhancing Climate Resilience for Biodiversity Hotspots in Jordan.” The assessment integrates climatic data from ground stations, global climate models, and satellite sources with field observations and stakeholder consultations to provide a comprehensive analysis of climate-related threats and socio-economic vulnerabilities in the sel
