Planejamento e gestão de Áreas Protegidas e Conservadas para a conservação de ecossistemas de águas continentais e da biodiversidade

Os ecossistemas de águas continentais – incluindo lagos, rios e córregos, bem como áreas úmidas como brejos e turfeiras – estão entre os mais ameaçados do planeta. Desde 1970, as populações monitoradas de espécies de água doce registraram uma diminuição média de 85%, superando significativamente o ritmo de declínio das espécies marinhas e terrestres. Atualmente, quase um terço das espécies de água doce enfrenta risco iminente de extinção.

Concevoir et gérer les aires protégées et conservées afin de soutenir les écosystèmes et la biodiversité des eaux intérieures

Les écosystèmes d’eaux intérieures — tels que les lacs, les fleuves, rivières et ruisseaux, les marais et les tourbières — figurent parmi les plus menacés de la planète. Depuis 1970, les populations suivies d'espèces d'eau douce ont reculé en moyenne de 85 %, un rythme bien plus rapide que celui observé dans les milieux marins et terrestres, et près d'une espèce sur trois est aujourd’hui menacée d'extinction.

Maintaining, enhancing and restoring ecological integrity in conservation planning and action

This report results from the deliberations of an IUCN Task Force on Ecological Integrity, and aims to provide guidance on how to successfully incorporate ecological integrity into conservation policy and practice. Ecological integrity, together with several related concepts, are grounded in a long history in the scientific literature.

Evaluación y reducción de riesgos de enfermedades infecciosas en áreas protegidas y conservadas

Las Áreas Protegidas y Conservadas (APC) salvaguardan la biodiversidad y proporcionan servicios ecosistémicos esenciales para la salud humana y animal, desde la filtración del agua hasta la regulación del clima. Sin embargo, las APC también pueden ser lugares donde surgen o se propagan enfermedades infecciosas entre personas, fauna silvestre y animales domésticos.

Évaluer et réduire les risques de maladies infectieuses dans les aires protégées et conservées

Les aires protégées et conservées (APC) préservent la biodiversité tout en fournissant des services écosystémiques fondamentaux pour la santé humaine et animale mais ces mêmes APC peuvent servir de foyers d’émergence ou de propagation de maladies infectieuses.

Assessing and reducing infectious disease risks in protected and conserved areas

Protected and conserved areas (PCAs) safeguard biodiversity and provide essential ecosystem services for human and animal health, yet PCAs can also be places where infectious diseases can emerge or spread among people, wildlife, and domestic animals. These dynamics make PCAs both vulnerable to infectious disease threats and critical allies in preventing and mitigating them.

Enhancing climate change mitigation in protected areas

This report covers both terrestrial and marine protected and conserved areas (PCAs). The audience is practitioners and policymakers who seek background information on the role of PCAs in climate change mitigation to:
- develop policies that enhance biodiversity and climate change simultaneously;
- quantify the importance of PCAs as a mechanism to reduce GHG emissions in Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) to the Paris Agreement;

Establishing marine protected areas in a changing climate

This guidance aims to inform the planning, design, and implementation of new and expanded MPAs, OECMs, areas conserved by Indigenous peoples, and networks of protected and conserved areas at the community, national, and international levels. It focuses on why it is important to consider climate change in MPA1 planning, and how new areas can be established in ways that build climate resilience, adaptation, and mitigation.

Site-level tool for identifying other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs) : first edition (Khmer version)

Other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs) are sites outside protected areas that deliver effective and long-term in situ conservation of biodiversity. Biodiversity conservation may be the primary objective of the site, a secondary objective of a site that is managed for other purposes, or it may be an unintended consequence of the way the site is managed.
