Biodiversity

This publication includes papers that were part of thirty-five oral and nine poster presentations on various themes presented by eminent researchers/ practitioners at the international symposium on “River Biodiversity: Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna River System” facilitated and supported by IUCN. 

The objective of these guidelines is to help foresters and forest planners improve the contribution of tropical production forests to global efforts to conserve biodiversity. They are intended to update and replace the 1993 ITTO Guidelines for the Conservation of Biological Diversity in Tropical Production Forests.

This publication presents the structure, the particulars, the methods for identifying and prioritizing the invasive alien species issues, the information derived from the invited presentations and the posters, as well as the outcomes of the conference "Freshwater Invasives - Networking for Strategy (FINS)" of the Inland Fishers Ireland (IFI) and the European Inland Fisheries and Aquaculture Advisory Commission (EIFAAC). 

This paper provides an analytical framework for assessing the impact of international trade in wildlife and wildlife products on conservation and local livelihoods. It also explores the role of factors related to particular species and their habitat, governance settings, the supply-chain structure, and the nature of the end market.

This report is part of a joint undertaking by IUCN and RWE to explore the possibility of integrating biodiversity values into RWE policies and practices. It was felt that a closer examination of the biodiversity management undertaken by RWE at the Hambach mining site during the past 35 years and the methods of the company's stakehodler engagement processes were needed.

Le cap des Trois Fourches est un excellent 'candidat' à être érigé en Aire Protégée Marine (APM) en raison de sa grande qualité écologique, attestée par la présence de nombreuses espèces bio-indicatrices, par la diversité élevée d'espèces, aussi bien les espèces protégées que les espèces d'intérêt commericial, ainsi que par la diversité des habitats (prairies, grottes, substrat rocheux, etc.).

Leading companies in the primary natural resource sectors are setting more targeted and measureable enviornmental goals, which in regards to biodiversity-related risks, are increasingly framed as "No Net Loss" (NNL) or "Net Positive Impact" (NPI) goals. To date however, much of the experience in implementing approaches with explicit NPI goals for biodiversity has been in the extractives and infrastructure sectors.

Le Comité français de l’UICN publie « Biodiversité d’Outre-mer » un ouvrage de référence présentant les dernières connaissances scientifiques sur la biodiversité terrestre et marine des collectivités françaises d’outre-mer ainsi que les actions mises en œuvre pour la protéger. Grâce à la contribution de plus de 150 experts, il permet de mesurer les efforts accomplis depuis dix ans et de souligner les défis restant à relever pour la conservation de la biodiversité.
