Conservation management

World Heritage properties are internationally recognized as places of Outstanding Universal Value that should benefit from the highest level of management effectiveness. The Toolkit 2.0 offers a self-assessment methodology to evaluate management effectiveness in a World Heritage property or other heritage place. It contains 12 tools that can be used separately or collectively to understand in detail what is working well and what can be done better.

As a typical coastal city, Xiamen, Fujian Province, China, faces serious societal challenges such as the impact of climate change, overexploitation of natural resources, and loss of biodiversity. Xiamen is implementing Nature-based Solutions (NbS) by strengthening ecological protection, promoting ecosystem restoration, building sponge city, supporting sustainable community development and green transformation of mines, while encouraging funding and diverse public participation.

Other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs) have been long recognised as an effective approach for safeguarding biodiversity at local, national and global levels. This report takes stock of the policies and practices relevant to OECMs in China. The report explores the critical role of OECMs in China’s conservation efforts, emphasising their potential contribution to the country’s commitment to Target 3 of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KMGBF).

Protected areas are considered one of the most effective and widely used methods for biodiversity conservation on a global scale. Therefore, effective, and equitable management and operation of these areas are crucial for conserving their biodiversity. Guidelines for evaluating the management effectiveness of protected areas have been developed, and their impact is widespread around the world.

Protected areas are the basic corner stone for protecting and managing the world's biodiversity, given their major and effective role in reducing the degradation of many ecosystems and habitats as a result of unsustainable human practices.

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

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.
