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.
This report tells the story of 10 years of the Asia Protected Areas Partnership (APAP) and the impact it has had. Understanding the impact of a wide-ranging partnership is never easy; outputs such as the 2nd Asia Parks Congress (APC2) reported here were only possible thanks to the efforts of a multitude of individuals and organisations. This report thus considers impacts based on APAP’s overarching objectives.
This exciting new publication brings together real-world examples of how companies are working with IUCN to advance global nature and biodiversity goals. From innovative partnerships to on-the-ground solutions, these stories show how companies can deliver measurable benefits for biodiversity, people, and business alike.
Species are the building blocks of ecosystems. As predators, prey, pollinators, seed dispersers, and habitat engineers, they shape ecological processes and uphold the delicate balance of nature. Together, they ensure the health, stability and resilience of the natural systems that sustain life on Earth.
