This Periodic Review can also be downloaded at www.vattenriket.kristianstad.se/unesco/. Title: Kristianstads Vattenrike Biosphere Reserve. Periodic Review 2005-2015 Authors: This review is produced by the Biosphere Office, Kristianstads kommun: Carina Wettemark, Johanna Källén, Åsa Pearce, Karin Magntorn, Jonas Dahl, Hans Cronert; Karin Hernborg and Ebba Trolle. In addition a large number of people have contributed directly and indirectly. Cover photo: Patrik Olofsson/N Maps: Stadsbyggnadskontoret Kristianstads kommun PERIODIC REVIEW FOR BIOSPHERE RESERVE INTRODUCTION The UNESCO General Conference, at its 28th session, adopted Resolution 28 C/2.4 on the Statutory Framework of the World Network of Biosphere Reserves. This text defines in particular the criteria for an area to be qualified for designation as a biosphere reserve (Article 4). In addition, Article 9 foresees a periodic review every ten years The periodic review is based on a report prepared by the relevant authority, on the basis of the criteria of Article 4. The periodic review must be submitted by the national MAB Committee to the MAB Secretariat in Paris. The text of the Statutory Framework is presented in the third annex. The form which follows is provided to help States prepare their national reports in accordance with Article 9 and to update the Secretariat's information on the biosphere reserve concerned. This report should enable the International Coordinating Council (ICC) of the MAB Programme to review how each biosphere reserve is fulfilling the criteria of Article 4 of the Statutory Framework and, in particular, the three functions: conservation, development and support. It should be noted that it is requested, in the last part of the form (Criteria and Progress Made), that an indication be given of how the biosphere reserve fulfils each of these criteria. -
QQR 7 Information Pack
7th Quinquennial Review of Schedules 5 and 8 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act (1981) Information Pack (version 2.21) 14 May 2021 1 Version 2.2: Four reptiles and two seals removed from the EPS list (Annex 1); one EPS amphibian and two EPS reptiles that are all Endangered removed from Annex 2 – these species were included in Version 2 and/or 2.1 in error. See Annex 1 and Annex 2 for further information. 1. Introduction Every five years, the country nature conservation bodies (Natural England, Natural Resources Wales and NatureScot), working jointly through the UK Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC), review Schedules 5 and 8 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act (WCA) 1981. The review will provide recommendations to the Secretary of State for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and to Ministers for the Environment in the Scottish Government and Welsh Government for changes to these schedules2. This is known as the Quinquennial Review (QQR). As part of the QQR, stakeholders are provided with the opportunity to propose changes to the species on the schedules. This Information Pack has been produced for the 7th QQR (QQR 7). It is important to note that this QQR differs from previous ones. The Information Pack explains the new selection criteria, provides a timetable, and explains the process to be used by stakeholders. Contact details of the QQR Inter-agency Group who are managing QQR 7, are listed in Section 5. In addition, the Information Pack provides details of how to complete the online survey through which stakeholders propose new species for inclusion on, or removal of existing species from Schedules 5 and 8, or propose a change to how species are protected on the schedules. -

Here we boarded the regional train to Laterbrunnen and finally took the cog-wheel railway, up to Wengen. We arrived at 8pm and made the short walk to our comfortable hotel. Although cloudy, we had a clear view of the imposing north face of the Jungfrau, to the south. After a delicious meal and a brief talk on the plans for the week, we retired to bed, eagerly anticipating the days ahead. Day 2 Monday 22nd June Contrary to the weather forecast, we woke to a brilliant sunny morning. After breakfast, we took the cable car to Mannlichen, where we found ourselves in another world. A vast panorama of snowy peaks filled the southern horizon and we were surrounded by colourful flowers. After looking at a range of commoner plants, on the cliff edge, we set off to explore the slopes towards Mannlichen summit, at 2230 metres. We saw a wide range of habitats, finding new flowers, with every pace. Globeflower Trollius europaeus, Long-spurred Pansy Viola calcarata and Trumpet Gentian Gentiana acaulis made a fine show in the turf, and north-facing banks and cliffs held a rich flora, typical of areas where snow lies late into the season. -

Read Full License Page 1/36 Abstract Background: Based on world experience, rst, a modern assessment of the ora is needed to develop strategies and tactics for the conservation of ecosystems of rare and endangered plant species. A regional and global biodiversity strategy should focus on assessing the current state of bioresources. In this regard, to preserve the biodiversity, the botanical features, the ontogenetic state, the ecological and phytocenotic structure of the rare endangered species Rh. rosea in the highlands of Eastern Kazakhstan were studied. Results: Ten populations of Rh. rosea were identied under various ecological and geomorphological conditions with a detailed description of the structure of the plant community. Systematic analysis of the plant community with Rh. rosea shows that the families Poaceae Barnhart, Ranunculaceae Juss., Asteraceae Bercht, J. Presl, Rosaceae Juss. and the leaders in the number of species are Caryophyllaceae Juss., Apiaceae Lindl., Fabaceae Lindl., Polygonaceae Juss. -

A Floristic Study of Vascular Plants in Ushishir, the Middle Kuril Islands
J. Jpn. Bot. 91 Suppl.: 68–82 (2016) A Floristic Study of Vascular Plants in Ushishir, the Middle Kuril Islands a, b Hideki TAKAHASHI * and Vyacheslav Yu. BARKALOV aThe Hokkaido University Museum, Sappporo, 060-0810 JAPAN; bInstitute of Biology and Soil Science, Russian Academy of Sciences, Far Eastern Branch, Vladivostok, 690022 RUSSIA *Corresponding author: [email protected] (Accepted on January 9, 2016) A preliminary list of vascular plants is provided for the southern Yankicha and northern Ryponkicha islets of Ushishir, the middle Kuril Islands, based on herbarium specimens. The list represents 45 families, 114 genera, and 158 species for the whole of Ushishir. Only two species of non-native plants have been recorded from Ushishir- Yankicha. The main dominant families in Ushishir are Asteraceae, Poaceae, Cyperaceae, and Caryophyllaceae. Although the entire flora of Ushishir does not show distinguishing features different from those of adjacent Ketoi and Rasshua, a clear contrast of floristic composition was confirmed between Yankicha and Ryponkicha in Ushishir. Notably, a higher number of species and collections of Cyperaceae in Ryponkicha than in Yankicha was confirmed. A Ryponkicha bias is evident in several taxa, for example Rubus chamaemorus, Vaccinium uliginosum var. alpinum, Carex rariflora, and C. stylosa. The floristic contrast mainly reflects the common occurrence of herbaceous meadows on Yankicha and the presence of a shrubby heath community on the terrace of Ryponkicha. A clear difference of flora and vegetation between Yankicha and Ryponkicha may be due to the different topographical and geological features of the two islets. Key words: Middle Kurils, Ryponkicha, Ushishir, Yankicha. The Kuril Islands extend about 1200 km Hokkaido and 470 km southwest of Kamchatka between Hokkaido and the Kamchatka peninsula (Fig. -
