Case studies

The number of amphibian reintroductions and other conservation translocations has increased in recent decades. Amphibian reintroductions are challenging and may not always work, but amphibian reintroductions may be the best or only option for conserving some species. Clearer guidance to plan, implement, and obtain resources for amphibian reintroductions is needed to improve conservation outcomes.

This seventh edition provides 69 case studies with some 78 species covering plants, mammals, birds, fish, amphibians, invertebrates and reptiles. The projects are ranked as Highly Successful, Successful, Partially Successful and Failure.

A successful process to advance forest landscape restoration (FLR) needs to motivate, enable and resource its implementation. This brief offers a preliminary exploratory analysis of some of the range of policies that respond to each of these three requirements. 

The first part of this document offers guidance to assess the development of new or existing inter-institutional coordination mechanisms (ICMs) for forest landscape restoration (FLR). The second part presents an analysis of two case studies of ICMs from TRI country projects where the network evaluation framework was applied. Finally, the foregoing analysis is synthesised in a series of conclusions and recommendations for future work.

This report intends to identify the opportunities and barriers of introducing and scaling up of FLR into selected pilot landscapes of Ethiopia: the districts (or woredas used as a synonym throughout this document) of Sodo and Meket, located in SNNP and Amhara regions respectively.

Engaging with business is vital for moving towards a more sustainable future. This paper examines nine different business and biodiversity platforms from across the IUCN network. This study aims to explore the benefits and challenges associated with these initiatives, so others undertaking this journey can be inspired and learn from these experiences.
