Biodiversity assessment

Agricultural standards and Nature Positive

2026 Bhasin, Medha | Curet, Florence |

Agricultural standards and associated certification schemes can play a critical role in mainstreaming biodiversity conservation within farming practices. However, the diversity of standards and criteria makes it difficult to understand how effective they are in raising ambition for biodiversity conservation and delivering contributions to the Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KMGBF).

Mapping biodiversity priorities

2024

This publication sets out a practical approach to spatial biodiversity assessment and prioritisation, which can be applied at the national level in any country. It shows a sequential process for biodiversity assessment, prioritisation and planning, based on a few foundational spatial datasets. This second edition now shows how the approach can help countries to implement the targets of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework and monitor progress towards their achievement.

Birds and biodiversity targets

The status and distribution of freshwater biodiversity in the Arabian peninsula

2015 Cox, Neil | García, Nieves | Harrison, I. J. | Tognelli, Marcelo F. |

Freshwater habitats and biodiversity in the Arabian Peninsula are unique and highly valued for the essential role they play in people's survival, as well as that of its native flora and fauna. This project aims to provide an accurate picture of the present conservation status and distribution of Arabian freshwater species, as well as to identify the main threats that affect them and action requirements for their successful long term conservation.
