Mangroves are among the most important ecosystems on the planet. They provide nursery grounds for a wide variety of marine and landbased species, sustain livelihoods of coastal populations, and protection from ocean swell and extreme weather events. However, mangroves are being cleared, degraded, or lost at a rapid pace. This report is targeted at project developers, donors and investors.

Las áreas protegidas son un componente clave de las estrategias mundiales de conservación. El turismo ofrece una forma única y fundamental para promover la conexión de los visitantes con los valores de las áreas protegidas, haciendo de esta una fuerza potencialmente positiva para la conservación.

Las ‘especies invasoras’ (a menudo llamadas plagas, malas hierbas o enfermedades) son plantas, animales, agentes patógenos y otros organismos que han sido transportados por los humanos más allá de los límites de su rango nativo de distribución (ya sea deliberada o involuntariamente) y que se vuelven destructivos para el medio ambiente y los medios de subsistencia humanos. Las islas y su área costera marina son particularmente vulnerables a las especies invasoras - debido a que

Illegal trade in wildlife has increased dramatically over the past decade; however, so have enforcement efforts aimed at mitigating this threat. Successful enforcement often involves the seizure and confiscation of wild species from diverse taxa of plants, animals and fungi. These confiscations may be parts of non-living specimens in the form of artefacts, food or medicinal products but, in many cases, they involve live individuals.

Wherever a new sports venue is built, or the refurbishment of an existing venue is undertaken, it is likely that biodiversity will be affected by that development, although the significance of impacts on biodiversity – both negative and positive – will vary enormously from sport to sport and location to location.

The Protected Planet Report 2018 provides an update of progress towards Aichi Biodiversity Target 11 at the global scale. With two years to go until 2020, the Protected Planet Report 2018 confirms that significant progress has been made to accelerate protection of biodiversity on land and in the ocean. The report further outlines the significance of this progress, as the conservation of biodiversity in protected and conserved areas provides the foundation for achieving the whole sui

Le magot (Macaca sylvanus) est une espèce endémique de l’Afrique du Nord, dont l’aire de répartition couvre l’Algérie et le Maroc, et il est inscrit à l’Annexe I de la CITES. Actuellement, le magot est menacé au niveau mondial et a été classé comme espèce En Danger d’après la Liste rouge des espèces menacées de l’UICN™, principalement en raison d’une forte diminution de ses effectifs.

In Indonesia, Kutai National Park is home to what is likely to be East Kalimantan’s largest population of the Critically Endangered eastern subspecies of the Bornean Orangutan, Pongo pygmaeus morio. It also hosts an astounding diversity of other species. Yet East Kalimantan faces many challenges in maintaining and protecting biodiversity from threats, including climate change.
