IUCN World Commission on Protected Areas (WCPA)

L’ouvrage Conservation de biodiversité des zones arides vise à sensibiliser toutes les parties prenantes et à galvaniser une action plus large afin de booster la conservation et le développement des zones arides. Il constitue un appel à l’action ainsi qu’un guide sur comment la conservation et le développement des zones arides peuvent être réalisés de manière équitable.

Approximately one-third of all terrestrial high-biodiversity sites straddle national land borders, yet few man-made boundaries are fixed, and international boundaries often alter over time or disappear altogether. This publication makes the compelling case for transboundary conservation approaches and promotes an array of innovative methods based on contemporary principles.

Protected areas are inspirational and transformative destinations for millions of people worldwide every year; effectively managed protected areas also help conserve biodiversity and wild nature, sustain ecosystem services, aned provide natural solutions to climate change.

Sanctuary aims to elevate awareness of the important role satellite remote sensing plays in global conservation. The engaging imagery and accessible prose of Sanctuary has captivated thousands of readers. 

The authors begin by highlighting the role that the Apennine system -- one of the major European mountain systems -- can play in the building of a European Ecological Network and, more generally, in nature conservation and the improvement of the quality of the environment in the Euro-Mediterranean context. The authors also outline potential scenarios and briefly describe the strategies that the APE Project intends to develop. 

This report sets out the importance of carbon in the open ocean and, through examples, illustrates the significance and values of some of its major carbon pools and sinks. It has been produced to promote better understanding of how atmospheric carbon is captured, stored and mobilized in the ocean, and how this has a significant bearing on sustainability, the welfare of people, and the future scale and intensity of climate change and ocean acidification.
