This report describes IUCN knowledge products focusing on those which incorporate the spatial distribution of biodiversity information on the land and in the sea. Such knowledge is used to underpin conservation, restoration, marine and land use planning and natural resource management.
The aim of this manual is to strengthen the community of practitioners who are using an innovative range of visual techniques in dealing with conservation and development situations. Visualization techniques are used to compare visions of stakeholders and to negotiate trade-offs through comparing these visions. Different visualization techniques are already widely used and several of these are discussed in this manual.
In this report, highlights of CEC activities in 2010 are presented. The Commission engaged in initiatives supporting the IUCN One Programme, with an emphasis on communicating biodiversity. CEC pursued partnership activities with IUCN members, the Secretariat, other Commissions and key external partners extending the theme of partnership across generations to engage young professionals.
