Il Monitoring Institute for Rare Breeds and Seeds in Europe ha pubblicato lo studio "Risorse genetiche agrarie in Italia". In oltre 200 pagine la ricerca illustra la situazione delle risorse genetiche di animali da allevamento e piante coltivate in Italia. Partendo dal rispettivo grado di minaccia, vengono quindi presentate le iniziative di conservazione statali, universitarie e private, per procedere poi ad una stima della necessità di intervento.

PANORAMA is a partnership initiative to facilitate learning from success in conservation. It promotes examples of inspiring solutions that showcase how nature conservation can benefit society. PANORAMA enables the wider application of such solutions through cross-sectoral global learning and exchange. Through a modular case study format, solutions are dissected into their replicable “building blocks”.

Climate change is the most significant moral and environmental issue of our time. This project seeks to help deepen explicit ethical reflection around the world on national responses to climate change by developing a publicly available record on national compliance with ethical obligations for climate change similar to the reports that are now available on national compliance with human rights obligations.

The authors begin by highlighting the role that the Apennine system -- one of the major European mountain systems -- can play in the building of a European Ecological Network and, more generally, in nature conservation and the improvement of the quality of the environment in the Euro-Mediterranean context. The authors also outline potential scenarios and briefly describe the strategies that the APE Project intends to develop. 

This publication presents 18 case studies to demonstrate how Protected Areas (PAs) can be better managed for disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA). The chapters vary from scientific studies to good practices, as well as (existing or required) policy frameworks that enable appropriate management. The book presents approaches from different regions and aims to cover a range of hazard events as well as a variety of ecosystem types.
