The Mediterranean region is one of the world’s great centres of plant diversity and its benign climates have attracted successive waves of civilisations, which have largely shaped our attitudes and ethics to the present day. Despite the effects of grazing, agriculture, deforestation, pollution, urbanisation and tourism, it has developed a wide array of plant landscapes.

Сохранение биологического разнообразия является неотъемлемой частью восстановления лесных ландшафтов. Пока Международные инициативы, такие как Bonn Challenge («Боннская перспектива») и Нью-Йоркская 

A biodiversidade é inerente à restauração da paisagem florestal. À medida que iniciativas globais como o Desafio de Bonn e a Declaração de Nova York sobre Florestas inspiram as nações a procurar paisagens sustentáveis e crescimento económico locais, a biodiversidade une as pessoas e a natureza ao seu futuro compartilhado.

La biodiversité est inhérente à la restauration des paysages forestiers. Au moment où des initiatives mondiales telles que le Défi de Bonn ou la Déclaration de New York sur les forêts incitent les nations à rechercher la croissance économique et les paysages durables, la biodiversité relie sur le terrain les humains et la nature à leur avenir commun.

La biodiversidad es inherente a la restauración de paisajes forestales. Las iniciativas mundiales, como el Desafío de Bonn o la Declaración de Nueva York sobre los Bosques, inspiran a las naciones a tratar de fomentar unos paisajes y un crecimiento económico sostenibles; sobre el terreno, la biodiversidad vincula a los pueblos y la naturaleza con su futuro compartarget_ido.

The IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria were developed for classifying species at high risk of global extinction, i.e. for assessment at the global level. Guidelines on the application of the IUCN Red List Criteria at national or regional levels were also developed and this volume presents the revised guidelines, published in 2012.

The IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria are intended to be an easily and widely understood system for classifying species at high risk of global extinction. The general aim of the system is to provide an explicit, objective framework for the classification of the broadest range of species according to their extinction risk.

On 5 November 2015, a large dam containing 52 million m3 of iron mining residues (tailings) collapsed in Mariana, Brazil. The collapse prompted both an emergency response, including assistance and compensation to affected people, and a short- and long-term set of mitigation measures structured in 42 programmes. These actions, determined by a group of government agencies, aim to restore and enhance the environmental quality and well-being of the affected populations.

The purpose of this study on seamount and hydrothermal vent ecosystems is to review the state of knowledge on the subject matter in order to better guide decision-making processes to develop and implement conservation and sustainable management measures, as well as to discuss knowledge gaps and present recommendations.
