Conservation strategies

Consistent evaluation and new recommendations for action are required of protective measures to address threats that were unrecognised or non-existent until recently. Global warming, noise pollution and reduced availability of prey are now of great concern. The all too familiar threats of accidental killing in fishing gear and exposure to toxic chemicals remain almost intractable. This Action Plan reviews threats and offers possible solutions.

Esta compilación reune trabajos e investigaciones tendentes a apoyar en el proceso de desarrollo de la Estrategia Nacional y Plan de Acción sobre diversidad biológica peruana. Estos trabajos han sido desarrollados en el marco del proyecto "Fortalecimiento de las Capacidades Nacionales en América del Sur para la Conservación y Uso Sostenible de la Biodiversidad" liberado por la Oficina Regional de UICN.

Economic forces underlie and explain much biodiversity degradation and loss, and economic instruments provide a useful set of tools for strengthening biodiversity conservation, sustainable use and equitable benefit sharing. If National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans are to be effective they must be justifiable in economic terms. This document reports on a project reviewing the use of economic measures in NBSAPs.
