Habitat

The Abu Dhabi Red List of Ecosystems contributes to meeting important targets of the new EAD strategy (2021-2025) by describing the health status and the loss of critical habitats from Abu Dhabi. The outcomes of this Red List of Ecosystems (RLE), together with the Red List of Threatened Species from Abu Dhabi, will provide valuable inputs to help prioritize management plans and public policies to promote the conservation of biodiversity and the sustainable use of natural resources in Abu Dhabi, the largest of the seven emirates in the UAE.

The Galápagos pink land iguana (Conolophus marthae) is categorised as Critically Endangered. The entire distribution of pink iguanas is within the protected area of the Galápagos National Park (GNP), which is managed by the Galápagos National Park Directorate (GNPD). This conservation and management plan (2022–2027) has the vision to ensure the long-term survival of Galápagos pink land iguanas in the wild, and as a general objective to establish a comprehensive conservation programme for Galápagos pink land iguanas that facilitates their recovery and persistence in the wild.

Investing in nature and Nature-based Solutions is an important pathway to address the current ecological crisis. The loss of biodiversity, with around one million animal and plant species threatened with extinction, is putting at risk our economies, livelihoods, food security, health, and quality of life worldwide. Diverse and innovative measures are needed to reverse this decline and to restore healthy ecosystems.

More than 400 colour pictures illustrate typical natural ecosystems and cultural landscapes. The focus is on the ecological conditions and characteristics that have a particularly strong influence (e.g. fire as an ecological factor, human use of natural resources, physiological adaptations). The aim of the book is to develop a causal understanding of the individual habitats.

This book provides information for the identification of the fishes of Laos. All species known from Laotian waters to date are illustrated by colour photographs. Data on the known distributions and habitats are included, as well as indications on synonyms and previous misidentifications. 

The IUCN Species Survival Commission and IUCN Asia Regional Office commissioned this independent report to assess the state and condition of intertarget_idal habitats along the East Asian-Australasian Flyway (EAAF), in response to growing concerns expressed by IUCN members over observed declines in biodiversity, the loss of ecological services, and an increase in ecological disasters.
