Climate change and biodiversity loss trigger policies targeting and impacting local communities worldwide. However, research and policy implementation often fail to sufficiently consider community responses and to involve them. We present the results of a collective self-assessment exercise for eight case studies of communications with regard to cl...

Climate change and biodiversity loss trigger policies worldwide, many of which target or impact local communities. Although research, international development, and policy implementation (and, thus, success in fighting both threats) require thoughtful consideration and communication of the underlying concepts, field work encounters a cascade of tan...

Mainstreaming biodiversity conservation into development cooperation—highlights from an ALTER-NET-EKLIPSE workshop - Volume 54 Issue 1 - Jean Hugé, Maarten Vanhove, Bruno Verbist, Els Dekeyzer, Piet Stoffelen, Ingrid Leemans, Jennifer Sjölund, Isabelle Vertriest, Erik Verheyen, Hilde Keunen, Anne-Julie Rochette, Luc Janssens de Bisthoven

Mainstreaming biodiversity in development cooperation activities is called for by scientists and policy-makers alike, as the current biodiversity crisis can only be mitigated if the linkages between biodiversity and human wellbeing are acknowledged. Reconciling biodiversity conservation and human development is a particularly topical challenge in h...

Monitoring natural resources in protected areas: developing biodiversity indicators in and around protected areas in East- and West Africa and the Middle East • The Convention on Biological Diversity and other conventions recommend the development of indicators as a key tool for monitoring the imple- mentation of National Biodiversity Strategies a...

Monitoring is important in ensuring that we keep track of trends in utilisation and restoration. Monitoring natural resources in protected areas: developing biodiversity indicators in and around protected areas in East-and West Africa and the Middle East

There is an increasing need to develop monitoring schemes that help us understand trends in the global biodiversity crisis and to propose solutions for the future. Indicators incorporating temporal baselines are crucial to measure the change in biodiversity over time, to evaluate progress towards its conservation and sustainable use and to set cons...
