Biodiversity

Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) are areas contributing significantly to the global persistence of biodiversity. KBAs need to be managed to ensure environmental flows are sufficient to support these fragile freshwater ecosystems. The information and data provided in this report will help guide conservation actions and management, development of policies and make informed decisions regarding development activities that may impact freshwater ecosystems in Canada

This is the first book to examine explicitly the non-timber goods and services provided by plantation forests, including soil, water and biodiversity conservation, as well as carbon sequestration and the provision of local livelihoods. 

The Global Soil Biodiversity Atlas is a collection of images, text, and figures presenting the importance of soil biology to policy makers, experts, and general readers alike.

Key highlights include:

WWF has produced this atlas to help guide efforts in conserving the biodiversity in the Yangtze basin upon which economic development depends. It is based on extensive research by leading experts on the distribution of key protected species and zones of high biodiversity in the basin.

This guide aims to assist companies, which are interested in transforming their operations to meet today’s widely-accepted global goals for biodiversity and sustainable development. It reflects input from numerous IUCN colleagues, partners and experts, who are actively engaged in on-site biodiversity management.
