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.
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.
The global status of sharks, rays, and chimaeras
In the 20 years since the IUCN SSC Shark Specialist Group’s first status report (2005), much has changed for sharks, rays and chimaeras. This report updates our understanding, and the scope of information reflects the scale of these two decades of change. The breadth of research topics has expanded, mirroring the inclusion of a greater diversity of species, and attention is being trained on the emerging threats and the accelerating global changes to aquatic ecosystems. The 2005 report heralded a sea change for sharks, rays and chimaeras, whose historical obscurity in policy, conservation and fisheries management was a serious concern. In this report, the increased focus that was called for is now apparent in the scale of work happening across the planet.
Unselective, unsustainable, and unmonitored trawl fisheries?
In 2016, the term UUU (unselective, unsustainable and unmonitored) fishing was developed and a Resolution of the World Conservation Congress, adopted by Members, tasked IUCN’s Species Survival Commission with reporting on the concept. The resulting situation analysis utilises the trawl fisheries of China, Thailand and Vietnam to explore how some of the issues associated with UUU fishing can be linked back to these three elements. The report found considerable variation in each component of UUU across the case study countries but that uncontrolled fishery development resulting in excess fishing capacity is commonly a root cause, leaving long standing impacts which have proven very challenging to solve. Whilst the report does not provide recommendations for action, it does identify 14 areas where further work would help accelerate progress on sustainable use, the protection of species of conservation concern and help safeguard the marine ecosystem.
Monitoring biodiversity after oil spill remediation in the Niger Delta
The Niger Delta region of Nigeria is facing severe environmental challenges due to widespread oil extraction activities, resulting in recurring oil spills and adverse effects on biodiversity, ecosystem services and livelihoods. This report documents the implementation of protocols of the IUCN Niger Delta Biodiversity Technical Advisory Group (BTAG) on two impacted sites at Adibawa Well 8 S/L wellhead in Joinkrama, Rivers State, and Adibawa North-East 1 wellhead in Tien Biseni, Bayelsa State, both located in the Niger Delta, Nigeria. The innovative approach of BTAG integrates eDNA analysis with traditional field sampling to enhance the monitoring strategies, offering a more comprehensive understanding of ecological recovery.
National fisheries fish spawning calendar for Lebanon
This spawning calendar gathers information for commercial marine fish native to Lebanon. Fish samples were collected from various ports around the country and thoroughly analysed, providing some valuable insight on the native fish population. Considered essential for future fishery management plans, it will in turn contribute to a more efficient, sustainable management of the marine ecosystems.
Cercocebus and Mandrillus conservation action plan 2024–2028
Collectively, Cercocebus and Mandrillus include nine species and two subspecies of African monkeys: seven species of Cercocebus and two of Mandrillus, including two drill subspecies. Together, they represent some of the least studied and hence least known of the Afro-Eurasian Primates. This Plan includes taxon-specific conservation actions, devised under six overarching themes: increase engagement and local livelihood support, reduce knowledge gaps, promote habitat restoration, raise the profile of Cercocebus and Mandrillus taxa, enhance protection, and respond to public health needs for the neighboring human populations. The Plan aimes to raise the profile of the Cercocebus and Mandrillus species, encourage collaboration amongst conservation practitioners, local communities, government agencies, and other invested parties, and ultimately prevent the extinction of some of the most amazing primate species on the planet.

Categorias e critérios da EICAT da UICN : primeira edição
Como resposta a estas questões, foi desenvolvida uma classificação padronizada dos táxones exóticos, baseada na magnitude dos seus impactos ambientais. EICAT (Classificação do Impacto Ambiental de Táxones Exóticos) o trata-se de um método simples, objetivo e transparente para classificar táxones exóticos de acordo com a magnitude dos seus impactos prejudiciais para o ambiente nas áreas recetoras. Com base na evidência dos impactos causados nos táxones nativos nas áreas em que foram introduzidos, os táxones exóticos são classificados em uma de cinco categorias de impacto. Cada uma destas cinco categorias de impacto representa uma magnitude de impacto diferente, dependendo do nível de organização biológica (indivíduo, população ou comunidade) sobre a qual o impacto é exercido e da reversibilidade do mesmo.
Plan de Acción Mundial para las Especies
El Plan de Acción Mundial para las Especies (PAME) ha sido desarrollado para apoyar la implementación del Marco Mundial de Kunming-Montreal para la Biodiversidad (MMB) al definir las intervenciones estratégicas clave y las acciones necesarias para lograr resultados exitosos en materia de conservación y uso sostenible de las especies alineados con la Misión, los Objetivos y las Metas del MMB. El PAME es un plan de acción para todos: gobiernos, organizaciones intergubernamentales, convenciones relacionadas con la biodiversidad, ONG internacionales y nacionales, pueblos indígenas y comunidades locales, institutos académicos y de investigación, instituciones ex situ (zoológicos, acuarios, jardines botánicos), sectores comerciales y empresariales, agencias de financiación, comunidad filantrópica y sociedad civil en su conjunto. Todos tienen un papel que jugar para abordar la emergencia a la que se enfrentan las especies y garantizar que transmitamos un rico patrimonio natural a las generaciones futuras.
Plan d’action mondial pour les espèces
Le Plan d’action mondial pour les espèces (PAME) a été élaboré pour soutenir la mise en oeuvre du Cadre mondial de Kunming-Montréal pour la biodiversité (CMB) en définissant les principales interventions et actions stratégiques nécessaires pour obtenir des résultats positifs en matière de conservation et d’utilisation durable des espèces dans la mission, les objectifs et les cibles du CMB. Le PAME est un plan d’action pour tous : gouvernements, organisations intergouvernementales, conventions liées à la biodiversité, ONG internationales et nationales, peuples autochtones et communautés locales, instituts universitaires et de recherche, institutions ex-situ (zoos, aquariums, jardins botaniques), secteurs commerciaux et entreprises, agences de financement, communauté philanthropique et société civile dans son ensemble. Chacun a un rôle à jouer pour faire face à l’urgence à laquelle les espèces sont confrontées et s’assurer que nous transmettons un riche patrimoine naturel aux générations futures.
UICN Painel do Rio Doce
O desastre de Fundão em 2015 foi um dos maiores desastres ambientais da história do Brasil. O rompimento da barragem próxima à cidade de Mariana liberou cerca de 39 milhões de m3 de rejeitos, que percorreram 670 km até chegar ao Oceano Atlântico. Nesse trajeto, os rejeitos resultaram em 19 óbitos, devastaram ecossistemas e interromperam modos de vida e meios de subsistência de milhares de pessoas. Em apoio às atividades de restauração, a UICN instituiu o Painel do Rio Doce, um Painel Independente de Assessoria Técnica e Científica (Independent Scientific and Technical Advisory Panel, ISTAP) com a missão de prestar assessoramento especializado em diversas áreas. Composto por cientistas nacionais e internacionais de renome, o Painel atuou de 2017 a 2022. Este relatório descreve o trabalho do Painel e suas influências e impactos de longo prazo.
