Le duel entre l'utilitarisme et la nature est engagé par-tout. A dire vrai, ce conflit semble inséparable de la mise en valeur progressive de notre planète, mais il prend un caractère aigu et qui atteint au pathétique dans des pays aussi peuplés et industrialisés que Belgique.
Estado das Áreas Protegidas e de Conservação na África Oriental e Austral é o primeiro relatório que reúne informação sobre áreas1 protegidas e de conservação para toda a região da África Oriental e Austral. A região da África Oriental e Austral abrange 24 países desde a África do Sul no sul até ao Sudão no norte e quatro das seis nações das ilhas do Oceano Índico Ocidental.
État des aires protégées et de conservation d’Afrique orientale et australe est le premier rapport regroupant des informations sur les aires protégées et de conservation dans l’ensemble de la région d’Afrique de l’Est et du Sud. La région d’Afrique orientale et australe couvre 24 pays, de l’Afrique du Sud, au sud, au Soudan, au nord, ainsi que quatre des six nations insulaires de l’océan Indien occidental.
Le déclin de nombreuses espèces en voie d’extinction a largement orienté les efforts de conservation de manière à ce que ces espèces continuent d’exister.
El declive de muchas especies hacia la extinción ha motivado que los esfuerzos de conservación se centren en asegurar que las especies sigan existiendo. Sin embargo, los conservacionistas reconocen desde hace tiempo la necesidad de complementar esto con el objetivo de recuperar las poblaciones mermadas en toda el área de distribución de una especie y restaurar las especies en los ecosistemas de los que han sido extirpadas.
The decline of many species towards extinction has largely focused conservation efforts on ensuring that species remain extant. However, conservationists have long recognised the need to complement this by aiming to recover depleted populations throughout a species’ range and to restore species to ecosystems from which they have been extirpated.
These guidelines address planning and management of privately protected areas (PPAs) and the guidance is aimed principally at practitioners and policy makers, who are or may be involved with PPAs. Guidance is given on all aspects of PPA establishment, management and reporting, and information is provided on principles and best practices, with examples drawn from many different parts of the world.
The Endangered Turks and Caicos rock iguana, Cyclura carinata, is found only on the islands and cays of Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI), and on Booby Cay in The Bahamas, northwest of Providenciales. These iguanas now occupy less than 10 percent of their historic range largely due to the impact of invasive mammalian predators.
Competence frameworks are widely used in many professional sectors, helping to develop capacity by defining and recognising the required skills, knowledge and personal attributes.
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.
