New tools for ecosystem management from the IUCN Red List of Ecosystems

Pourquoi assister à cette session?
This session will launch two new products from the the Red List of Ecosystems program: the IUCN Global Ecosystem Typology, and the new IUCN Red list of Ecosystems database. These are fundamental tools for ecosystem conservation globally, useful for conservation practitioners in NGOs and government, researchers and educators around the world.
HideDescription
In 2014, the International Union for Conservation of Nature adopted the Red List of Ecosystems (RLE) criteria as the global standard for assessing risks to terrestrial, marine, and freshwater ecosystems. This session will present two new tools developed by the RLE program, which will support improved ecosystem conservation, management and policy: the Global Ecosystem Typology, and the RLE database. The Global Ecosystem Typology is a scientific advance in understanding of ecosystem function and biodiversity, for use in conservation, management and natural capital accounting world-wide. The database is a new repository for storing, managing and accessing RLE assessments, allowing comparison across assessments globally. As well as supporting conservation practitioners, the Typology and Database will also provide education platforms for the general public, enhancing understanding of ecosystems and nature. The session will finish with a discussion between the audience and presenters.
