| Protected Areas: buffering nature against climate change |
On 18-19 June 2007, scientists, non government and government experts were brought together by WWF and the IUCN World Commission on Protected Areas (WCPA) to find ways to enhance the key role of Australia's National Reserve System in enabling biodiversity, our native plants and wildlife, to adapt to and survive climate change.

Four publications are the result of the "Implementation
of the East Asia Action Plan for Protected
Areas" Project. The project was
initiated in 1998 through IUCN ís
World Commission on Protected Areas (WCPA),
with the support of The Ministry of the
Environment, Government of Japan.
The project stemmed from the "Regional
Action Plan for Protected Areas in East
Asia" (1996) which highlights a
number of priority activities to be implemented
in the region. |
 Directory
of Protected Areas in East Asia People, Organisations
and Places
is intended to facilitate the
networking and capacity building among all
protected area organisations and initiatives
in East Asia. It identifies key individuals
working in the protected areas field, describes
the relevant government and non-government
agencies and institutions operating in the
region, as well as international organisations
from other regions that have an interest in
conservation and protected areas in East Asia
and lists the existing protected areas.

 ISBN
99946-32-53-1) published by IUCN World Commission
on Protected Areas and Resources Himalaya
Foundation, suggests that there is a huge
challenge to south Asian protected areas to
demonstrate their contribution to biodiversity
conservation whilst enhancing the livelihoods
of resident communities. The book has 23 papers
and most are country-specific (Bangladesh,
Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka),
targeting a diverse set of issues to demonstrate
that “sustainable use” of biological
resources is necessity not a “strategy.”
Thus, the book carries a few success stories
along with conservation issues connected with
science, education, ecotourism, political
and financial constraints to suggest that
conservation and development are not two poles
but twin goals for south Asia.
