TALES OF WATER
What does water mean to children?
Tales of Water tells the refreshing stories of children. They speak of their personal bonds with water, their daily realities and their dreams. Children speak the truth, and while many lack safe drinking water and sanitation, this book shows children are also filled with hope for a better future.
2006 RED LIST
What are the global status and trends of biodiversity?
The good news was that the launch of the 2006 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species generated more interest than ever. The bad news was that the List revealed an ongoing decline in the status of the world’s plant and animal diversity.
MANAGING PROTECTED AREAS
How to manage parks and forests
IUCN published Managing Protected Areas: A Global Guide , the most authoritative guide on the principles and practice of protected area management. This is the international benchmark for professionals, scientists and students worldwide.
‘NATURAL’ VS. HUMAN DISASTERS
We cannot stop disasters, but we can reduce impacts.
Catastrophic impacts can be reduced and livelihood recovery sped up by leaving nature’s infrastructure – dunes, mangroves, coral reefs, forested slopes – firmly in place. Ecosystems, Livelihoods and Disasters: An integrated approach to disaster risk management demonstrates how intact ecosystems reduce the damage caused, and urges collaboration with disaster response teams.
POVERTY, HEALTH AND ECOSYSTEMS
Asia's poorest depend on shrinking resources
The 16 case studies in Poverty, Health, and Ecosystems: Experiences from Asia highlight the challenges faced by poor and resourcedependent households across Asia. In eight years, a staggering 1.2 billion to 1.5 billion Asians will still live on less than two USD per day. For them, ecosystems will be essential to daily health and wellbeing.
MANAGING CORAL BLEACHING
How healthy coral reefs underpin the welfare of many societies
A Reef Manager’s Guide to Coral Bleaching is based on the knowhow of 50 experts and therefore a must-read for coral reef managers, conservation practitioners and others who want to make coral reefs safe and sound in a changing climate.
