Integrando la Conservación del Ecosistema de Jalca en la Planificación Local para Asegurar la Provisión de Agua
En las últimas décadas, la Jalca, ecosistema altoandino importante para la regulación hídrica, se ha visto amenazada por su mal manejo y los cambios en las precipitaciones asociados al cambio climático. Ante esto, el Proyecto Páramo Andino promovió la conservación de la Jalca como fuente de agua, trabajando con la población un plan de manejo participativo, en el cual se priorizaron medidas de conservación del ecosistema y para aprovechar mejor el agua, que juntas contribuyen a la adaptación al cambio climático. Entre las medidas estan: protección de ojos de agua y manantiales con plantaciones de queñual (Polylepis spp.) y pircas de piedras; agroforestería, viveros forestales y forestación con queñual en macizos y protección de praderas con cercos vivos; construcción de microreservorios e instalación de riego por aspersión. Estas medidas fueran recogidas y financiadas por los gobiernos locales y tomadas en cuenta por el gobierno regional para determinar prioridades de conservación.
Guide sur l’évaluation des impacts cumulatifs sur la biodiversité des projets éoliens et solaires et des infrastructures associées
Un objectif clé de ce guide est de recadrer l’EIC pour aider à soutenir la conservation de la nature et la réalisation des objectifs mondiaux en matière de biodiversité (aux côtés des objectifs climatiques et autres objectifs de développement sociétaux). Ce guide est centré sur la biodiversité et le développement éolien et solaire, et s’adresse principalement aux planificateurs gouvernementaux et aux promoteurs de projets. Cependant, étant donné qu’il est conçu pour aider à relever certains des défis existants de l’EIC, sa portée est potentiellement plus vaste.
Mainstreaming behaviour change in biodiversity conservation
This document presents the findings of a comprehensive needs assessment conducted by the IUCN SSC CEC Behaviour Change Task Force. It is designed to provide a structured understanding of the challenges, opportunities, and actionable recommendations for integrating behavioural sciences into conservation strategies. The report aims to serve as both a diagnostic tool and a roadmap for advancing the application of behavioural sciences in conservation efforts.
Comunidades fortalecen la gestión sostenible de la tierra, el bosque y la biodiversidad en la Cadena Volcánica de Guatemala
El Proyecto Promoviendo Territorios Sostenibles y Resilientes en Paisajes de la Cadena Volcánica Central en Guatemala busca integrar la conservación de la biodiversidad y la gestión sostenible de la tierra y los bosques en paisajes productivos, generando beneficios locales y ambientales globales. Mediante un enfoque participativo, ha fortalecido capacidades técnicas y organizativas de pequeños productores, promoviendo prácticas sostenibles como abonos orgánicos, reforestación y producción orgánica. También ha impulsado la participación activa de mujeres en procesos organizativos y de comercialización, mejorando sus medios de vida. Hasta la fecha, ha beneficiado a 64,450 personas (31,715 hombres y 32,733 mujeres), con 216 acuerdos voluntarios que gestionan 19,802.24 ha con herramientas de manejo del paisaje y establecen conectividad en 59,265.41 ha, entre sistemas agrícolas/forestales y áreas protegidas.
Innovative Technology Empowering Biodiversity Protection in Montenegro
In response to growing environmental challenges, Montenegro is embracing digitalization and new technologies to safeguard its biodiversity. As part of the “Biodiversity Mainstreaming into Sectoral Policies and Practices and Strengthening Protection of Biodiversity Hotspots in Montenegro” (GEF 7) initiative, the project has facilitated cross-sectoral and multi-institutional cooperation while piloting innovative solutions aimed at improving decision-making processes and biodiversity protection through enhanced data collection, institutional collaboration, and the application of new technologies.
Biodiversity and responsible sourcing for wind and solar developments
The key aim of this report is to outline how developers can start to act on supply chain biodiversity impacts by improving traceability and sourcing practices through. It is primarily aimed at developers of wind and solar projects and transmission infrastructure, who primarily source composite goods (e.g. wind turbines and solar panels).
Reviving High Quality Coffee to Stimulate Climate Adaptation in Smallholder Farming Communities in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda
The burgeoning specialty coffee sector in DRC offers a compelling example of how regenerative agricultural practices can enhance both environmental sustainability and market value. By focusing on producing high-quality coffee and implementing improved farming techniques, Congolese coffee farmers are tapping into a growing global demand for ethically sourced specialty coffee. Higher product standards command premium prices and contribute to increased economic resilience within local communities.
The Global Environment Facility (GEF) and Least Developed Countries Fund (LDCF) funded a partnership between the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), Nespresso, and TechnoServe through this project. Through Nespresso’s AAA Sustainable quality program, the project supported the sustainability of smallholder coffee farming households in South Kivu, DRC, while working to restore and revitalize degraded natural environments. Nespresso, TechnoServe, and DRC coffee farmers and cooperatives have partnered since 2019.
Réduction des menaces pesant sur les espèces et restauration en République centrafricaine
This report presents findings from an assessment of the biodiversity conservation potential of four project sites: Lobaye, Mambéré-Kadéï, Ombella-Mpoko, and Sangha-Mbaéré located in the Bangui region of the Central African Republic (CAR). This assessment was done using the Species Threat Abatement and Recovery (STAR) metric, which employs high-resolution imagery and an approach to modelling species’ Area of Habitat (AOH) that was revised after June 2020 among other enhancements. This work was undertaken to better inform threat abatement and restoration planning and implementation at the partner project sites, and as part of a wider effort to pilot and strengthen the use of STAR as a tool for restoration and conservation practitioners, communities, investors, and policymakers.
Global Species Action Plan (Arabic version)
The Global Species Action Plan (GSAP) is a critical initiative developed to support the implementation of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF), to address the increasing biodiversity loss worldwide. The GSAP outlines strategic interventions and actions to conserve and sustainably manage species while ensuring equitable benefits. Emphasizing the critical role of species in ecosystem stability, human livelihoods, and cultural heritage, the GSAP seeks to prevent extinctions, reduce threats, and ensure equitable benefits from species use. Implementation involves diverse stakeholders, including governments, Indigenous peoples and Local communities, NGOs, academia, and businesses, fostering cooperation at global, regional, and local levels. The GSAP underscores the collective responsibility to safeguard Earth’s rich biological heritage for future generations.
