This handbook for identifying, evaluating and reporting other effective area-based conservation measures in marine fisheries builds on a wealth of FAO fisheries guidance, including the FAO Technical Guidelines on Fisheries Management (FAO, 1997) and the various FAO Technical Guidelines for Respon
Significant efforts have been invested to restore mangrove forests worldwide through reforestation and afforestation. However, blue carbon benefit has not been compared between these two silvicultural pathways at the global scale.
Motivated by declines in biodiversity exacerbated by climate change, we identified a network of conservation sites designed to provide resilient habitat for species, while supporting dynamic shifts in ranges and changes in ecosystem composition.
We are in the midst of a major biodiversity crisis, with deep impacts on the functioning of ecosystems and derived benefits to people (1, 2). But we still have time to pull back. To do so, it is imperative that we learn from plants’ and animals’ past actions (3, 4).
This document identifies the most effective options for delivery of a target of achieving 30% of land and of ocean in protected areas and other effective area-based conservation measures by 2030 (30x30), as set out in the draft Target 3 of the Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) form the Conventi
Tuna biomass (skipjack and bigeye tuna) variability over the period 1998-2019 simulated by the Spatial Ecosystem and Population Dynamics Model (SEAPODYM). Here, we provide the unfished biomass dynamics (i.e. without considering any fishing).
This guide has been developed to improve catch and landings data on sharks and rays that are listed on three international treaties, the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS).
The CKI OECM Workshop Report consolidates the discussions, outcomes, recommendations and next steps following the Other Effective Area-based Conservation Measures Workshop, hosted by the National Environment Service, in partnership with Secretariat of Pacific Regional Environment Program and
Sharks and rays are key functional components of coral reef ecosystems, yet many populations of a few species exhibit signs of depletion and local extinctions. The question is whether these declines forewarn of a global extinction crisis.
Many protected areas worldwide increasingly resemble habitat isolates embedded in human-modifed landscapes. However, establishing linkages among protected areas could signifcantly reduce speciesloss rates.
