Conservation

Em novembro de 2018, tal situação foi resolvida quando, na COP 14 da CDB, as Partes adotaram uma definição de “outra medida efetiva de conservação baseada em área”, bem como os princípios orientadores, as características comuns e os critérios para a identificação das OMECs (CDB/COP/ DEC/14/8). As OMECs podem ser geridas visando vários objetivos diferentes, mas devem apresentar resultados efetivos de conservação.

En noviembre del 2018, en la 14ª Convención de los Miembros del CDB, los participantes adoptaron una definición de “otras medidas efectivas de conservación basadas en áreas” (OMEC), y determinaron sus principios rectores, características comunes y criterios para su identificación (CDB/COP/ DEC/14/8). Estas pueden ser gestionadas con objetivos diferentes, pero deben obtener resultados efectivos de conservación.

The present article is issued by the Department of Home Affairs on the occasion of the Third Pan-Pacific Science Congress held in Tokyo from October 30th to November 11th, 1926, to give an outline of the work of preserving the Natural Monuments.

The author writes in the preface that those who immediately follow us will pay still more deary for past misuse of natural resources, which belongs to them in common with ourselves. The thought that a boy's book on conservation had possibilities for usefulness came trough the conviction that American boys are even more deeply concerned with what is being done with the great natural resources than those Americans who are boys no longer.

L’Afrique occidentale est riche en biodiversité d’eau douce et en endémicité régionale, soutenant l’ensemble des populations mondiales de nombreuses espèces d’eau douce menacées, notamment les poissons, les mollusques, les libellules, les crabes, les crevettes et les plantes aquatiques. Ce rapport s’appuie sur une évaluation de référence régionale réalisée en 2009 ainsi que sur une évaluation des Zones clés pour la biodiversité (KBAs) d’eau douce en 2015.

Western Africa is rich in freshwater biodiversity and regional endemicity, supporting the entire global populations of many threatened freshwater species including fishes, molluscs, dragonflies, crabs, shrimps and aquatic plants. This report builds on a regional baseline assessment completed in 2009 as well as an assessment of freshwater Key Biodiversity Areas in 2015.

This report is based on extensive literature search to reveal the elements of animal and plan biodiversity in the State of Kuwait, and points out missing information on other little-known groups. Despite its small area, Kuwait enjoys a rich fauna, given its desert and marine habitats. Hundreds of published scientific papers and reference books were reviewied to amass all species, fauna and flora, that were reported from Kuwait.

La iguana de cola espinosa de Útila, Ctenosaura bakeri (Stejneger, 1901), es una iguana En Peligro Crítico endémica de la isla de Útila, en el archipiélago de las Islas de la Bahía de Honduras.  La especie se encuentra casi exclusivamente en el altamente dinámico hábitat de manglares de Útila (Gutsche, 2005) y está amenazada por la intrusión de actividades antropogénicas, ya que la destrucción y el desarrollo del hábitat continúan en toda la isla. Al reunir la experiencia local e in

The Útila spiny-tailed iguana, Ctenosaura bakeri (Stejneger, 1901), is a Critically Endangered iguana endemic to the island of Útila, in the Bay Islands archipelago of Honduras.  The species occurs almost exclusively in the highly dynamic mangrove habitat on Útila (Gutsche, 2005), and is threatened by the encroachment of anthropogenic activities, as habitat destruction and development continue across the island. Bringing together local and international expertise, this 5-year action

Although all coastal development projects in Lebanon typically require an environmental impact assessment (EIA), biodiversity has rarely been given specific or appropriate consideration in the EIA process. The objective of this report is to present guidelines that specifically address biodiversity inclusion in EIA studies.
