Biodiversity is context-specific, and there are no one-size-fits-all indicators or monitoring methodologies.
This report intends to identify the opportunities and barriers of introducing and scaling up of FLR into selected pilot landscapes of Ethiopia: the districts (or woredas used as a synonym throughout this document) of Sodo and Meket, located in SNNP and Amhara regions respectively.
BIOPAMA’s capacity-development strategy in Central and West Africa aims to encourage the managers and administrators of the protected areas (PA) to use the regional information system, or Regional Observatory for Protected Areas and Biodiversity.
La stratégie de développement des capacités du programme BIOPAMA de l’Afrique centrale et occidentale vise à encourager les gestionnaires et administrateurs des aires protégées (AP) à utiliser le Système régional d’information, ou Observatoire régional sur la biodiversité et les aires protégées.
Everyone has a relationship to land, but not everyone's right to land is secure. The Global Land Tool Network (GLTN) recognizes that conventional ways of managing land are not realistically going to meet the needs of millions of people. This book features the “land tools” that GLTN has developed – practical ways to solve problems in land administration and management.
Globally, disasters due to natural hazards takes an enormous toll in terms of human lives, destruction to crops and livelihoods, and economic losses. Disaster risk reduction (DRR) has therefore become a critical part of sustainable development strategies. Over the past decades, the role of healthy ecosystems in providing cheap, reliable protection against natural hazards has been increasingly recognized.

This book describes the challenges that arise in studying and conserving biodiversity across different scales. It describes a wide range of practical methods and recommendations to improve conservation at continental and global scales. The book aims to bundle the main results of SCALES in a comprehensive manner and present it in a way that is usable not only for scientists but also for people making decisions in administration, management, policy or even business.
