A symposium on community-based natural resource management (CBNRM) for the conservation of CITES-listed species was organized by the Austrian Ministry of the Environment and the European Commission in Vienna, Austria, in May 2010. Its aim was to provide the necessary knowledge base for a broad policy discussion within the European Union on the relevance of local conservation programmes for CITES to achieve the goals as set out in its current Strategic Vision 2008-2013 (Res. Conf. 14.2).
Este libro presenta los resultados de un proyecto de investigación internacional que fue expresamente diseñado para examinar la aplicación de la estauración del paisaje forestal (RPF) a los ecosistemas forestales de las zonas secas de América Latina.

Throughout the world and over centuries, small-scale livestock keepers and pastoralists have developed animal breeds that are well suited to their local conditions.
