UNEP/RCU Action Plan Documents

by ww2bw last modified 2007-09-05 17:24

These documents are from the Twelfth Intergovernmental Meeting on the Action Plan for the Caribbean Environment Programme and SPAW COP IV Fourth Meeting of the Contracting Parties (COP) to the Protocol Concerning Specially Protected Areas and Wildlife (SPAW) in the Wider Caribbean Region.

Available on-line for the SPAW COP at http://cep.unep.org/meetings/2006/spaw-cop-iv/meeting_documents_view

Of particular interest to WW2BW are the:

UNEP(DEPI)/CAR IG.25/INF.4
Guidelines to Prevent Species from becoming Endangered or Threatened (English only) IG25-inf4en.doc

This is a 56-page draft guideline was produced by Barbara Lausche for a consortium of NGOs involving the Humane Society of the US Wildlife Land Trust, Island Resources Foundation, and Monitor Caribbean.

This guideline is really a synthetic masterpiece, bringing together a vast amount of current international and small island conservation planning information, which can be used by national planners to build a pro-active plan for protecting island species and habitats from current and projected hazards and threats. As a major policy document of the SPAW, this guideline has years of review and possible modification, but as an essential REFERENCE WORK for environmental resource managers and planners of Caribbean islands, the draft available on-line from the CEP web site is already an important resource.
