Nature-Positive Urbanism: Conservation and Community Empowerment in Costa Rica's Capital Region

Costa Rica is one of the most biodiverse countries in the world and recognised for its commitment and leadership in nature conservation. The Greater Metropolitan Area (GAM) is home to 60% of the country’s population with many economic sectors concentrated here. The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on already highly vulnerable communities living in the GAM.

To improve biodiversity and ecosystem services, five innovative projects were developed in San José, where more than 50 species of native flora were incorporated into the green urban fabric. Over 40 women developed capacities for the sustainable use of nature’s benefits while generating income. 20 public-private partnerships were formed and more than 19 adaptation measures were implemented that contribute to the sustainability of the productive activities in the local communities. Now, over 20,000 people enjoy wellbeing activities in the spaces that have improved their natural condition through the projects.

Economic aspects of community involvement in sustainable forest management in eastern and southern Africa

Produced by IUCN's Eastern Africa Programme, this publication aims to investigate the extent to which communities have been provided with economic incentives to become involved in sustainable forest management in Eastern and Southern Africa, and how far perverse incentives and disincentives encouraging forest degradation and loss have been overcome. This study concludes that there is an urgent need to provide economic incentives, and it highlights a number of policy recommendations.

Global strategy on invasive alien species

The spread of invasive alien species (IAS) is creating complex and far-reaching challenges that threaten both the natural biological riches of the earth and the well being of its citizens. Summarising key findings of the Phase I Synthesis Conference held in September 2000 in Cape Town, Republic of South Africa, this publication presents ten strategic responses that address how to mitigate the threats of IAS. Directed toward the decision-makers whose policies and practices are affecting the movement of species around the world, this strategy strives to provide a resource to increase awareness and provide policy advice.

Land, people and forests in eastern and southern Africa at the beginning of the 21st century : the impact of land relations on the role of communities in forest future

The way in which forest land is owned directly influences the status of the forest, its condition and the way in which it is managed. The greater the security of local forest tenure, the stronger the interest and will of the community towards its security. One of four papers commissioned by IUCN towards building a comprehensive profile on the subject of community involvement in forest management in eastern and southern Africa, this publication addresses the function of property relations and State-people relations in matters of governance and management. The study is comparative in nature, with a continuing examination of commonality and difference in the handling of property rights in respect of rural communities.
