L’etude essayerait de commenter les différents critères de la Liste Rouge, par rapport à leur applicabilité pour analyser l’évolution des statuts des espèces de poissons commerciaux, dans les circonstances de l’Afrique de l’Ouest ; mais également d’identifier les principaux critères de la Liste rouge correspondants aux types d’informations générées par les centres océanographique et halieutiques et les programmes de recherche et de suivi des ressources marines.

These 15th Proceedings provide an overview of the ongoing research and management activities on polar bears in the circumpolar Arctic. Together with the previous 14 proceedings, they provide an historic record of the international effort in protecting, studying, and managing polar bears. The document addresses more recent concerns of threats arising as a consequence of increased human activities in both the Arctic and in regions far beyond the Arctic.

The European Eel Anguilla anguilla is a commercially important species that is threatened with extinction. International trade has been identified as a principal factor in this species's decline. This report aims to provide up to date information on trade in A. anguilla that is essential for conservation and management purposes.

This volume gives the most up-to-date information on the distributions and conservation status of species in all inland water ecosystems across mainland continental Africa and the reasons behind their declining status. This represents the most comprehensive assessment yet of freshwater biodiversity at the species level for an entire continent. For managers, this information will assist in designing and delivering targeted action to mitigate and minimise these threats.

This book is a product of the Marine Conservation Sub-Committee, an advisory body on marine species issues within IUCN. The book features twelve stories of different ocean animals that highlight the latest issues in marine conservation. The tales in this exquisitely illustrated book are testament not only to the eccentricity of life in our oceans, but also the diversity of challenges and opportunities we face to conserve these marine marvels.

These guidelines were drafted by the Re-introduction Specialist Group of the Species Survival Commission, and approved by the 41st Meeting of IUCN Council in May 1995. The definition of "re-introduction" is "an attempt to establish a species in an area which was once part of its historical range, but from which it has been extirpated or become extinct".
