It is an intergovernmental organization that facilitates cooperation and coordination among the ten ASEAN Member States and with regional and international organizations on the conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity, and the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from the use of such natural treasures. WITH SUPPORT FROM The Deutsche GesellschaftfürInternationaleZusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, is a non-profit cooperation enterprise for sustainable development and operates in more than 130 countries worldwide. Most of the activities are commissioned by the German Government. GIZ works closely with the public and private sector as well as civil societies to carry out results-oriented international cooperation. Its considerable experience with alliances in partner countries is a key factor for successful projects. Since September 2010, GIZ through the Biodiversity and Climate Change Project (BCCP), has been supporting the institutionalization of ACB’s core program on biodiversity and its nexus with climate change, contributing to an ASEAN-wide strategy. www.giz.de AUTHOR: Philipp Gassner ‘GreenChallenge Accepted - Interface expert for the strategic communication of sustainability - beyond the ivory tower’ Green: Call Philipp a resourceful, enthusiastic and conscientious interface expert with a passion for knowledge, people and the environment.

For all correspondence relating to this report, please contact: [email protected] Foreword he Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), which entered Tinto force on 29 December 1993, has three objectives: the conservation of biodiversity, the sustainable use of its components, and fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from genetic resources. The Tenth Meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the CBD in 2010 adopted the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020, together with the Aichi Biodiversity Targets. Aichi Target No. 1 states that: ‘By 2020, at the latest, people are aware of the values of biodiversity and the steps they can take to conserve and use it sustainably’. The challenge to meet the first target is to increase public awareness on the importance of biodiversity. In this context, the CBD promotes awareness raising for biodiversity issues and concerns. The International Day for Biological Diversity, every 22nd day of May, and the UN Decade on Biodiversity, are but two examples of these efforts. People always like to listen to a good story. Storytelling has the power to engage and move people. Biodiversity facts and figures, when presented in story form, can be easily understood. This publication, Stats & Stories – Storytelling for Biodiversity Southeast Asia & Beyond, is a unique attempt to tell stories about biodiversity. It hopes to contribute to the promotion of biodiversity conservation using simple and clear language. And what better way to start with ‘once upon a time’. Mr. Braulio Ferreira de Souza Dias Executive Secretary CBD Stats and Stories – Storytelling for Biodiversity iii Message iodiversity is life. Biodiversity is our life.” This was the “Bmessage for the International Year of Biodiversity (2010). Whose life? “Biodiversity” as a concept is not relevant to most people and perhaps never will be. So, how could we ever promote biodiversity and its conservation in our societies, develop concepts for the sustainable use of biodiversity elements, and incorporate the value of biodiversity and the fair and equitable sharing of benefits in concepts of green and sustainable economies? People do relate to biodiversity and its conservation if the concepts are referred and translated to “my life”, “my job”‚ “my health”, or “my future”. Translation is communication. Communication is naming things by a name, it’s storytelling, among others. It’s both pre-requisite and a tool for change. Communication prepares the fertile ground for information exchange, consensus among divergent opinions, know- how and decision making. But there is no shortcut between ‘Said’ and ‘Done’. Said is not yet heard... Heard is not yet understood... Understood is not yet approved... and Approved is not yet done! Recognizing this, the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) provides a plan to fill the gap between ‘Said’ and ‘Done’. Its over arching framework, the Strategic Plan, is for all to engage in biodiversity management and policy development. It underlines the importance of biodiversity for Mankind as well as the steps towards a sustainable future for upcoming generations. On its journey to a sustainable future, the CBD is supported by the ASEAN Centre for Biodiversity in translating and promoting sustainability and biodiversity in the ASEAN region, striving for a unified response to the challenges ahead. This publication aims at decoding and demystifying Biodiversity, this web we call life. This publication intends to show the reader the full range of what biodiversity is, what biodiversity means and how important biodiversity is in the lives of our ancestors, of ourselves, and for the future of our children. These press articles represent a collection of stories about” my life”, “my job”‚ “my health”, or “my future” unfolding the amplitude of Biodiversity - stories which will continue to unfold through time. Forever. Dr. Berthold Seibert Project Manager GIZ Biodiversity and Climate Change Project iv Stats and Stories – Storytelling for Biodiversity Once upon a time... Communicating Biodiversity reen is the new pink. Sustainability is en vogue. real behavior change, we must turn data into drama, And quite rightly so. Illustrations come by numbers into narrative, and stats into stories. Gthe bookful. Take climate change, pollution, the sixth global mass extinction, land degradation, WHAT’S A BIODIVERSITY STORY? and threats to food security. You name it, we have it. The world is hitting the environmental buffers. This is A story is a narrative account of an event, with a key more and more jeopardizing meaningful development, element of truth, even if it is fiction. The protagonist’s with Southeast Asia’s dwindling treasure chest of tale, let’s say a lazy lemur’s life, might be imagined, biodiversity at the forefront. However, simply gazing the destruction of his habitat is real. Stories grab us at these symptoms will leave us stumped for an answer because they add emotion, characters and detail to – numerous global efforts don’t bear fruit. Also, the bare facts. Stories are as old as language and our brains Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), the key are built to learn from stories, as we have done over agreement on sustainable development, faces many thousands of generations. Stories capture our attention barriers. Instead, green ideas have to drill down on the and create empathy as well as help us understand and root causes.

An overview of Nepenthes in the Philippines is presented. Four new species, Nepenthes extincta sp. nov., N. kitanglad sp. nov., N. kurata sp. nov. and N. leyte sp. nov. are described and illustrated from the Philippines and placed in the Nepenthes alata group. An updated circumscription and key to the species of the group is provided. Delimitation and comparison with the Regiae group is given. All four of the newly described species are assessed as threatened using the International Union for the Conservation of Nature 2012 standard, and one, N. extincta sp. nov. is considered likely to be already extinct due to open-cast mining. Logging and conversion of forest habitat are thought to be the main threats to the other three species. Key words. Conservation, Nepenthes alata group, Mindanao, threatened, ultramafic.

  • The Asean Heritage Parks Are Educational and Inspiratio
    Factsheet : Asean Heritage Parks Overview of Asean Heritage Parks (AHPs) The Asean Heritage Parks are educational and inspirational sites of high conservation importance , preserving a complete spectrum of representative ecosystems of the Asean region. These parks embody the aspirations of the people of the ten Asean nations to conserve their natural treasures. It was established to generate greater awareness, pride, appreciation, enjoyment and conservation of the Asean region’s rich natural heritage through a regional network of representative protected areas. A designation as an AHP is both an honour and a responsibility. The country accepts the responsibility to ensure the best possible level of protection is afforded to the site. The Asean Declaration on Heritage Parks In December 2003 at Yangon, all the Ministers of Environment of Asean member states accepted the principles of Asean Heritage Parks (AHPs) and jointly agreed to participate within the AHPs program to establish, develop and protect the designated parks. The 2003 declaration constitutes a reiteration of an earlier agreement in 1884, initiated by a smaller Asean. This declaration underscores the common cooperation between member states for the development and implementation of regional conservation and management action plans. Criteria for Nomination/ Award: Criteria Description Ecological An intact ecological process and capability to regenerate with completeness minimal human intervention. Representativeness The variety of ecosystems or species typical of a particular region. Naturalness In natural condition such as a second-growth forest or a rescued coral reef formation, with natural processes still going on. High conservation Has global significance for the conservation of important or importance valuable species, ecosystems or genetic resources; evokes respect for nature when people see it, as well as feeling of loss when its natural condition is lost.

    The Adventures of TUAN A Comic Book on Responsible Tourism in ASEAN Heritage Parks 1 The Adventures of TUAN A Comic Book on Responsible Tourism in ASEAN Heritage Parks The Adventures of Tuan: A Comic Book on Responsible Tourism in ASEAN Heritage Parks Being a nature-lover and a travel enthusiast, Tuan’s ultimate dream is to visit all ASEAN Heritage Parks (AHPs). AHPs are protected areas of high conservation importance, preserving in total a complete spectrum of representative ecosystems of the ASEAN region. The ASEAN Heritage Parks (AHP) Programme is one of the flagship biodiversity conservation programmes of ASEAN. The establishment of AHPs stresses that the ASEAN Member States (AMS) share a common natural heritage and should collaborate in their efforts to protect the rich biodiversity that supports the lives of millions of people in the region. The ASEAN Centre for Biodiversity (ACB) serves as the Secretariat of the AHP Programme. This comic book will take us to Tuan’s adventures in each AHP that he visited and will teach us important lessons on how to become responsible tourists in protected areas. The AHPs featured in this publication are Tasek Merimbun Heritage Park of Brunei Darussalam; Virachey National Park of Cambodia; Kepulauan Seribu Marine National Park of Indonesia; Nam Ha National Protected Area of Lao PDR; Gunung Mulu National Park of Malaysia; Indawgyi Lake Wildlife Sanctuary of Myanmar; Mount Makiling Forest Reserve of the Philippines; Bukit Timah Nature Reserve of Singapore; Ao Phang Nga-Mu Ko Surin-Mu Ko Similan National Park of Thailand; and Hoang Lien National Park of Viet Nam.

SCARAB BEETLES IN HUMAN CULTURE BRETT C. RATCLIFFE Systematics Research Collections W-436 Nebraska Hall University of Nebraska Lincoln, NE 68588-0514, U.S.A. [email protected] Abstract The use of scarab beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) by primarily pre- and non-industrial peoples throughout the world is reviewed. These uses consist of (1) religion and folklore, (2) folk medicine, (3) food, and (4) regalia and body ornamentation. The use of scarabs in religion or cosmology, once widespread in ancient Egypt, exists only rarely today in other cultures. Scarabs have a minor role in folk medicine today although they may have been more important in the past. The predominant utilization of these beetles today, and probably in the past as well, is as food with emphasis on the larval stage. Lastly, particularly large or brightly colored scarabs (or their parts) are used (mostly in the New World) to adorn the body or as regalia.

    THREATS TO PROTECTED AREAS SQUANDERING PARADISE? The importance and vulnerability of the world’s protected areas By Christine Carey, Nigel Dudley and Sue Stolton Published May 2000 By WWF-World Wide Fund For Nature (Formerly World Wildlife Fund) International, Gland, Switzerland Any reproduction in full or in part of this publication must mention the title and credit the above- mentioned publisher as the copyright owner. © 2000, WWF - World Wide Fund For Nature (Formerly World Wildlife Fund) ® WWF Registered Trademark WWF's mission is to stop the degradation of the planet's natural environment and to build a future in which humans live in harmony with nature, by: · conserving the world's biological diversity · ensuring that the use of renewable natural resources is sustainable · promoting the reduction of pollution and wasteful consumption Front cover photograph © Edward Parker, UK The photograph is of fire damage to a forest in the National Park near Andapa in Madagascar Cover design Helen Miller, HMD, UK 1 THREATS TO PROTECTED AREAS Preface It would seem to be stating the obvious to say that protected areas are supposed to protect. When we hear about the establishment of a new national park or nature reserve we conservationists breathe a sigh of relief and assume that the biological and cultural values of another area are now secured. Unfortunately, this is not necessarily true. Protected areas that appear in government statistics and on maps are not always put in place on the ground. Many of those that do exist face a disheartening array of threats, ranging from the immediate impacts of poaching or illegal logging to subtle effects of air pollution or climate change.
