Monitoring

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.

O objetivo deste documento é apresentar recomendações técnicas para o monitoramento da restauração com diferentes objetivos, escalas, capacidade técnica e financeira. O monitoramento de indicadores ecológicos e socioeconômicos da restauração afere sua contribuição para mitigar as mudanças climáticas, conservar a biodiversidade e gerar qualidade de vida, trabalho e renda.1 A Aliança pretende com este documento favorecer o diálogo e a aprendizagem colaborativa das iniciativas de restauração florestal na região.

In 2016, the term UUU (unselective, unsustainable and unmonitored) fishing was developed and a Resolution of the World Conservation Congress, adopted by Members, tasked IUCN’s Species Survival Commission with reporting on the concept. The resulting situation analysis utilises the trawl fisheries of China, Thailand and Vietnam to explore how some of the issues associated with UUU fishing can be linked back to these three elements.

Engaging in oil activities poses a significant risk of impacting the environmental and social values in a landscape. The aim of the remediation effort is to restore the site’s environmental and socio-economic  values. In natural habitats, this is about the recovery of biodiversity and the ecosystem functioning. This field manual aims to guide the design and implementation of biodiversity monitoring (recovery), following remediation of an oil spill.

The Niger Delta region of Nigeria is facing severe environmental challenges due to widespread oil extraction activities, resulting in recurring oil spills and adverse effects on biodiversity, ecosystem services and livelihoods. This report documents the implementation of protocols of the IUCN Niger Delta Biodiversity Technical Advisory Group (BTAG) on two impacted sites at Adibawa Well 8 S/L wellhead in Joinkrama, Rivers State, and Adibawa North-East 1 wellhead in Tien Biseni, Bayelsa State, both located in the Niger Delta, Nigeria.

The IUCN Restoration Barometer is a tool used by governments to monitor and record progress towards restoration goals in various terrestrial ecosystems, coasts, and inland waters. This document presents a synthesis of the results of the Restoration Barometer’s application in three countries: Guatemala (2011-2020), El Salvador (2014-2021), and Costa Rica (2011-2020).

El Barómetro de la Restauración de la UICN es una herramienta utilizada por gobiernos para monitorear y registrar el avance en sus objetivos de restauración en diversos ecosistemas terrestres,  costas y aguas continentales. Este documento presenta una síntesis de los resultados de la aplicación del Barómetro de la Restauración en tres países: Guatemala (periodo 2011-2020), El Salvador (periodo 2014-2021) y Costa Rica (periodo 2011-2020).

Protected areas and other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs) are important to stop the global decline in biodiversity. Systematic site-based monitoring of the state of biodiversity and conservation outcomes is necessary for evidence-based adaptive management in protected areas and OECMs.
