Assessments

The present volume should be read in conjunction with State of nature conservation systems in South-Eastern Europe as it represents its integral part and foundation. Both reports follow the same logic and structure, and their content is presented through the same thematic chapters. 

The main purpose of this wildlife crime assessment is to provide information on the current trends and drivers of wildlife crime in Ethiopia, get insights into existing local criminal networks, evaluate how the country serves as a transit route for the contraband and, assess the strengths and weaknesses of the legal framework to effectively address wildlife crime.

In recent years synthetic biology has emerged as a suite of techniques and technologies that enable humans to read, interpret, modify, design and manufacture DNA in order to rapidly influence the forms and functions of cells and organisms, with the potential to reach whole species and ecosystems. As synthetic biology continues to evolve, new tools emerge, novel applications are proposed, and basic research is applied.

The report summarizes the methodology and main outcomes of a national Restoration Opportunities Assessment Methodology (ROAM) process to identify forest landscape restoration opportunities in Myanmar.

The Protected Planet Report 2018 provides an update of progress towards Aichi Biodiversity Target 11 at the global scale. With two years to go until 2020, the Protected Planet Report 2018 confirms that significant progress has been made to accelerate protection of biodiversity on land and in the ocean. The report further outlines the significance of this progress, as the conservation of biodiversity in protected and conserved areas provides the foundation for achieving the whole sui

Natural World Heritage sites are internationally recognised as having the highest global nature conservation priority. As of November 2017, there are 241 natural and mixed (both cultural and natural) World Heritage sites, representing about 0.1% of the total number of protected areas globally, but yet with a total coverage of 294 million hectares, accounting for 8% of the combined surface of terrestrial and 6% of marine protected areas.

Методология оценки перспектив восстановления лесных ландшафтов (МОПВ)1 была разработана МСОП и Институтом по исследованию мировых ресурсов (ИИМР) для оказания помощи странам в выявлении возможностей восстановления лесных ландшафтов (ВЛЛ), определении приоритетных территориий на национальном и региональном уровнях, а также разработке и реализации мероприятий по ВЛЛ.

A Metodologia de Avaliação de Oportunidades de Restauração (MAOR) foi elaborada pela UICN e pelo Instituto de Recursos Mundiais (WRI) com vista a apoiar os países no planeamento e implementação da restauração da paisagem florestal (FLR), com a análise de áreas prioritárias nos âmbitos nacional e subnacional e a concepção e implementação de intervenções de FLR.

La Méthodologie d’évaluation des opportunités de restauration des paysages forestiers (MEOR) a été élaborée par l’UICN et le World Resources Institute (WRI) pour aider les pays à identifier les opportunités de restauration des paysages forestiers (RPF), analyser les zones prioritaires au niveau national ou infranational et concevoir et mettre en oeuvre des interventions de RPF.

La UICN y el World Resources Institute (WRI) crearon la Metodología de Evaluación de Oportunidades de Restauración (ROAM) para ayudar a los países a identificar oportunidades de restauración de paisajes forestales (RPF), analizar las áreas prioritarias a nivel nacional o subnacional, y diseñar y ejecutar intervenciones de RPF.
