Guidelines

Las recientes iniciativas mundiales de restauración de ecosistemas ofrecen una oportunidad sin precedentes para mejorar la conservación de la biodiversidad y la salud y el bienestar humanos. de la biodiversidad. Proporcionan a los seres humanos múltiples beneficios: un clima estable y un aire respirable; agua, alimentos y materiales; y protección contra desastres y enfermedades.

Áreas Clave para la Biodiversidad (KBA) son sitios que contribuyen significativamente a la persistencia global de biodiversidad. El objeto de las Directrices para el uso de Un Estándar Global para la Identificación de Áreas Clave para la Biodiversidad (en adelante las Directrices KBA) es asegurar que la identificación de KBA se base en métodos consistentes, científicamente rigurosos pero prácticos.

Les Zones clés pour la biodiversité (KBA) sont des sites qui contribuent de manière significative à la persistance de la biodiversité mondiale. Les Lignes directrices pour l’utilisation d’un Standard mondial pour l’identification des Zones clés pour la biodiversité ont pour visée d’assurer que l’identification des KBA est basée sur des méthodes cohérentes, scientifiquement rigoureuses mais pratiques. Les Lignes directrices KBA présentent les étapes d’identification et de dé

As the World Heritage Convention celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2022, over 1100 sites around the world are recognized as World Heritage - places  that are so valuable to humanity that there conservation has been deemed our collective responsibility. Yet many of these exceptional places face  increasing pressure from diverse types of development projects within and around the sites.

Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) are sites that contribute significantly to the global persistence of biodiversity. The purpose of the Guidelines for using A Global Standard for the Identification of Key Biodiversity Areas is to ensure that KBA identification is based on consistent, scientifically rigorous yet practical methods.

These guidelines provide an update and expansion of the original Guidelines for Cave and Karst Protection, published in 1997. The original guidelines were primarily concerned with geoheritage, and while this remains an important consideration in this second edition, it also covers the biological issues involved in cave and karst conservation.

Recent global initiatives in ecosystem restoration offer an unprecedented opportunity to improve biodiversity conservation and human health and well-being. Ecosystems form a core component of biodiversity. They provide humans with multiple benefits – a stable climate and breathable air; water, food and materials; and protection from disaster and disease.

Although all coastal development projects in Lebanon typically require an environmental impact assessment (EIA), biodiversity has rarely been given specific or appropriate consideration in the EIA process. The objective of this report is to present guidelines that specifically address biodiversity inclusion in EIA studies.
