There has been much concern over the world’s catastrophic failure to meet global targets set in 2010 to save biodiversity. Birds and Biodiversity Targets uses BirdLife’s extensive worldwide research to provide a road map to ensure the 2020s are not just another “lost decade for nature”.
Dans cette publication, nous faisons le point sur les connaissances et le savoir-faire générés par la première étape du projet, consistant à évaluer les principales menaces qui pèsent sur la biodiversité et à fournir des éléments de réponse aux questions spécifiques suivantes : comment les principales menaces pour la biodiversité ont-elles été identifiées et hiérarchisées, et comment les secteurs associés ont-ils été sélectionnés dans chaque pays ?
The circular economy is a positive step forward to help achieve our environmental targets. When implemented with nature in mind, it can present an important opportunity for nature and biodiversity. As outlined by the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services, to halt and reverse biodiversity loss by 2030 we will need to transform our production and consumption systems.
In this publication, we take stock of the knowledge and know-how induced by the BIODEV2030 project’s first step, which is to assess the main threats to biodiversity and provide elements to address the following specific questions: how were main threats to biodiversity identified and ranked and associated sectors selected in each country? Were the different methods converging in identifying top threats?
Com base no volume de rejeitos lançados e na extensão das áreas atingidas, o rompimento da Barragem de Fundão, em Mariana, Minas Gerais, foi o maior desastre ambiental de todos os tempos na mineração brasileira, e um dos mais graves do mundo. Ao serem transportados a jusante da barragem rompida, os rejeitos foram se acumulando ao longo dos rios e alcançaram o estuário do Rio Doce, na ecorregião marinha do Leste brasileiro, afetando importantes ecossistemas.
Based on the volume of tailings releases and the distance they travelled, the Fundão Dam failure in southeast Brazil (Mariana, Minas Gerais state) was the largest ever environmental disaster in Brazil’s mining industry, and one of the world’s most serious. As they dispersed downriver, the tailings accumulated along the riverbanks and reached the Rio Doce estuary in the Eastern Brazilian Marine Ecoregion.
This report presents the results of a broad assessment of the freshwater diversity in four Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) and some key additional sites in the Sebou river basin in Morocco.
La Malette pédagogique est le manuel de la version 2 de l’outil intégré sur l’efficacité de gestion (IMET, en anglais) et de coaching ou action d’accompagnement professionnel des équipes de gestion des aires protégées. IMET est un outil d’aide à la décision destiné à faire avancer le processus de planification-suivi-évaluation pour améliorer l’efficacité de la gestion des aires protégées.
These guidelines offer an approach for developing a corporate-level biodiversity strategic plan, including measurable goals and objectives and a set of core linked indicators, that will allow companies to measure their biodiversity performance across their operations. The Guidelines can be used by any company in any sector that has impacts and dependencies on biodiversity, whether large or small, national or multinational.
Este informe Conflicto y conservación se centra en los conflictos armados y la naturaleza. El tema es muy oportuno, ya que los conflictos armados causan grandes daños económicos y sociales, así como daños ambientales en todo el mundo. Los conflictos han llevado a sociedades a sus límites en términos de recursos financieros y humanos. Se han perdido y perturbado vidas y bienes, se han destruido medios de subsistencia y personas han sido desplazadas.
