Book Description
La introducción de especies exóticas en nuevos hábitats es una la segunda mayor amenaza para la biodiversidad, y la que se produce través del agua de lastre de los buques y lo es para la biodiversidad de los océanos. Se trata de un problema transfronterizo y global que tan sólo puede ser combatido y atajado con actuaciones igualmente globales. La Organización Marítima Internacional adoptó en 2004 el Convenio para el Control y la Gestión del Agua de Lastre y los Sedimentos de los Buques. Tras un muy lento ritmo de ratificaciones, entrará en vigor el 8 de septiembre de 2017, convirtiéndose en el primer instrumento internacional vinculante en afrontar tan gravísima amenaza para la biodiversidad. Para llevar a buen término la protección de la biodiversidad se, hace imprescindible una eficaz, y por tanto homogénea, puesta en práctica de las previsiones del Convenio, para lo cual será necesario el desarrollo de programas que permitan la puesta a disposición de todos los Estados del conocimiento y las tecnologías recientemente desarrolladas, así como los correspondientes recursos financieros.

Book Description
The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.

Book Description
This text is a history of the world's oldest global conservation body - the World Conservation Union, established in 1948 as a forum for governments, non-governmental organizations and individual conservationists. The author draws on unpublished archives to reveal the often turbulent story of the IUCN and its achievements in, and influence on, conservation and environmental policy worldwide - establishing national parks and protected areas and defending threatened species.

Book Description
If humankind were given a mandate to do everything in our power to undermine the earth's functioning, we could hardly do a better job than we have in the past thirty years on the world's oceans, both by what we are putting into it-millions of tons of trash and toxic materials-and by what we are taking out of it-millions of tons of wildlife. Yet only recently have we begun to understand the scale of those impacts. Defying Ocean's End is the result of an unprecedented effort among the world's largest environmental organizations, scientists, the business community, media, and international governments to address these marine issues. In June 2003, in the culmination of a year-long effort, they met specifically to develop a comprehensive and achievable agenda to reverse the decline in health of the world's oceans. As conservation organizations begin to expand their focus from land issues to include a major focus on preservation of the sea, it is increasingly apparent that we have to approach marine conservation differently and at much larger scale than we have to date. What's also clear is the magnitude and immediacy of the growing ocean concerns are such that no one organization can handle the job alone. Defying Ocean's End is a bold step in bringing the resources needed to bear on this vast problem before it is too late. It offers a broad strategy, a practical plan with priorities and costs, aimed at mobilizing the forces needed to bring about a "sea change" of favorable attitudes, actions, and outcomes for the oceans-and for all of us.
