These guidelines have been produced through a lengthy and detailed consultative process. But no guidance can be totally comprehensive. We present them as a tool to assist those that need help to try to obtain better information effectively. The guidelines should be considered in the context of available local capacity and the availability of other sources of assistance with obtaining information. In particular, we stress that they should be used, if necessary, as a means to supplement information available
through traditional and local knowledge.

We trust that this document will encourage and guide ICMM members to invest in the challenges of becoming positive contributors to biodiversity conservation. The
return on that investment will be responsible and sustainable access to mineral resources and a role in their development. [Published: 2006]

This IPIECA guide is designed to help HSE professionals and other relevant staff, e.g. those involved with project planning, in the oil and gas industry to develop Biodiversity Action Plans (BAPs) for their sites and projects. BAPs are a systematic approach to biodiversity conservation that can build on, and be integrated with, existing company activities and processes throughout the oil and gas project life cycle.  [Published: 2005]

To our knowledge, this is the first attempt to produce a global estimate of the scope of community conservation. Given the limited quantity and quality of the data, this analysis should be viewed as a first step, and we hope it will encourage others to examine this issue and improve our collective understanding of community conservation.

I want to strongly support the project of the Property of Wagnée at Florée (Belgium) to join the Verified Conservation Area registry. [Published: 2016]

The area is part of a large piece of land surrounding an old house that was bought by a successful tradesman in 1768 and then split several times between its heirs. The last division dates back to 2006. The property has benefited from a rather constant management where agriculture, forestry, landscape and hunting have traditionally played an important role. Though, the landscape has evolved a lot for the last two centuries. Major changes occurred in the XIXth century where several small woods were planted (often with hybrid poplars, spruces, larches) and some meadows were drained. Some of those small meadows were later afforested (late XIXth or early XXth century). Only a part of the woods were mapped as woodland on the Count de Ferraris’ map (1760’s). [Published: 2016]
