As the World Heritage Convention celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2022, over 1100 sites around the world are recognized as World Heritage - places  that are so valuable to humanity that there conservation has been deemed our collective responsibility. Yet many of these exceptional places face  increasing pressure from diverse types of development projects within and around the sites. Assessing the impacts of such projects is essential to both prevent damage to World Heritage and identify sustainable options.

The objective of this study is to develop a vision for the conservation of biodiversity and ecosystem services in the Aoos River Basin, including improving the effectiveness of management and coordination of local protected areas, and develop a roadmap for the final designation of a protected area in accordance with IUCN standards for protected area classification. Key components of the study include analyses of threats to identified environmental values in the Aoos River Basin and supporting activities for expansion or establishment of

Ten tijden van de vijftigste verjaardag van het Werelderfgoedverdrag in 2022 zijn wereldwijd meer dan 1100 erfgoederen erkend als Werelderfgoed, plekken die zo waardevol zijn voor de mensheid dat het behoud ervan als onze gezamenlijke verantwoordelijkheid wordt gezien. Toch staan veel van deze uitzonderlijke plekken steeds meer onder druk, door verschillende soorten projectontwikkeling op en rondom de erfgoederen.

The Abu Dhabi Red List of Ecosystems contributes to meeting important targets of the new EAD strategy (2021-2025) by describing the health status and the loss of critical habitats from Abu Dhabi. The outcomes of this Red List of Ecosystems (RLE), together with the Red List of Threatened Species from Abu Dhabi, will provide valuable inputs to help prioritize management plans and public policies to promote the conservation of biodiversity and the sustainable use of natural resources in Abu Dhabi, the largest of the seven emirates in the UAE.

Dans cette publication, nous faisons le point sur les connaissances et le savoir-faire générés par la première étape du projet, consistant à évaluer les principales menaces qui pèsent sur la biodiversité et à fournir des éléments de réponse aux questions spécifiques suivantes : comment les principales menaces pour la biodiversité ont-elles été identifiées et hiérarchisées, et comment les secteurs associés ont-ils été sélectionnés dans chaque pays ? Les différentes méthodes ont-elles coïncidé dans l’identification des principales menaces ?
