The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species – Regional Assessment The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species – Regional Assessment Publications summary Best Practice Guidelines for Great Ape Tourism Great ape tourism, if well implemented, can serve to conserve the species but it can also have considerable negative impacts if it is not based on sound conservation principles. These guidelines have been developed for both existing and potential great ape tourism sites that wish to improve the degree to which their programme contributes to the conservation rather than the exploitation, of great apes. This publication should be viewed as an essential part of the toolkit for any site practising or considering great ape tourism as part of its conservation programme. The Status and Distribution of Freshwater Biodiversity in Northern Africa THE STATUS AND DISTRIBUTION OF FRESHWATER BIODIVERSITY IN NORTHERN AFRICA N. García, A. Cuttelod and D. Abdul Malak This assessment is the first overview of the conservation status of 877 northern African freshwater species belonging to five taxonomic groups – fish, molluscs, dragonflies and damselflies, freshwater crabs and aquatic plants – in accordance with the IUCN regional Red List guidelines. Species at risk of regional extinction are mapped and conservation measures are proposed to reduce the probability of future declines. NORTHERN AFRICA The Status and Distribution of Freshwater Biodiversity in Western Africa This publication is a regional assessment of the status and distribution of 1,395 taxa of freshwater fishes, molluscs, odonata, crabs, and selected families of aquatic plants from across western Africa. Eastern Chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii): Status Survey and Conservation Action Plan 2010–2020 The Eastern Chimpanzee is classified as Endangered and of global conservation concern. This publication offers a 10-year plan which, if fully implemented, will go a long way to ensuring the maintenance of viable populations of the Eastern Chimpanzee across much of its existing range. Chimpanzees are excellent flagship and umbrella species for conservation; protecting their populations and habitat protects innumerable other species.
