Risiken und Chancen des Biodiversitätsmanagements und der damit verbundenen Einbeziehung der Stakeholder in dem von RWE betriebenen Braunkohlentagebau Hambach

This report is part of a joint undertaking by IUCN and RWE to explore the possibility of integrating biodiversity values into RWE policies and practices. It was felt that a closer examination of the biodiversity management undertaken by RWE at the Hambach mining site during the past 35 years and the methods of the company's stakehodler engagement processes were needed. This examination offers IUCN the best opportunity to understand RWE's past approaches to biodiversity and for RWE to learn about today's needs for the integrated biodiversity management approaches advocated by IUCN.

Natural world heritage in Latin America and the Caribbean : options to promote an underutilized conservation instrument

This discussion paper attempts to find out why World Heritage plays a relatively marginal role only in the current nature conservation debate in Latin America and the Caribbean and what can be done to promote a more meaningful role. The underlying assumption is the conviction shared by many colleagues in the region that much of the potential of natural World Heritage remains to be realized.
