Recommendations

The IUCN-SSC Crocodile Specialist Group conducted a review mission to Ethiopia from 26 April – 08 May 2014 to examine Ethiopia’s Nile crocodile (Crocodylus niloticus) conservation and management program and the status, and likely sustainability, of ranching and trophy hunting initiatives. The review involved considerable input about operations, and the legal and policy frameworks supporting those operations, from the Ethiopian Wildlife Conservation Authority (EWCA), the Southern Nations, Nationalities and People’s Regional State (SNNPRS), and the Arba Minch Crocodile Ranch (AMCR).

The action plan lays out a conservation strategy for gorillas and chimpanzees in Western Equatorial Africa. The Endangered central chimpanzee Pan troglodytes troglodytes and the Critically Endangered western lowland gorilla Gorilla gorilla gorilla are undergoing a dramatic decline due to poaching, disease and habitat loss, driven by demands for bushmeat, a lack of law enforcement, by corruption, and by increased access to their once-remote habitat -- like the recent expansion of industrial agriculture. This document is the product of the second regional workshop on conservati

El documento ofrece un resumen sobre el marco legal e institucional para el desarrollo de mecanismos de distribución de beneficios REDD+. Asimismo presenta lecciones aprendidas, retos y recomendaciones para el diseño de estos mecanismos en el contexto peruano. Las lecciones, retos y recomendaciones fueron recopilados durante el diálogo multi-actores sobre Distribución de Beneficios REDD+ que realizó El Diálogo Forestal (TFD por sus siglas en inglés) y la Unión Internacional para la Conservación de la Naturaleza (UICN) en Perú en marzo de 2014.

The document presents a summary of the legal and institutional framework necessary for the development of REDD+ benefit-sharing mechanisms. Furthermore, it introduces lessons learned, challenges, and recommendations for the design of such mechanisms in a Peruvian context. These lessons, challenges and recommendations were compiled during the multi-stakeholder REDD+ Benefit Sharing Dialogue, coordinated by The Forests Dialogue (TFD) and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), in Peru in March 2014.

Le dispositif juridique français demande aujourd'hui à certaines entreprises de faire figurer dans leurs documents de reporting des informations relatives à la biodiversité. L'objectif est d'informer leurs parties prenantes des relations qu'elles entretiennent avec la biodiversité et des actions qu'elles engagent dans ce domaine.

Some companies are currently required by French legislation to include information on biodiversity in their reports, the aim being to inform their stakeholders about the company’s commitment to biodiversity conservation. However, these reporting documents vary in content, form and method, and some companies admit that they have difficulty writing their biodiversity reporting documents. This study is thus designed to improve companies’ biodiversity reporting methodologies and approaches.
