Squandering Paradise? 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. Far from safeguarding the world’s biological diversity, many protected areas are badly in need of protection themselves. Yet in most countries protected areas are the corner stone of conservation; if they are degraded then there can be little hope for the survival of many threatened species. Such changes also directly threaten the many indigenous people that maintain their traditional lifestyles inside protected areas. Until recently, our knowledge about threats to protected areas was mainly gleaned from scattered reports and word of mouth accounts. Today, recognition of the seriousness of what can justifiably be called a crisis is stimulating efforts to identify threats and assess performance. The current report, which WWF Netherlands is pleased to have funded, is the most detailed assessment of threats to protected areas yet attempted on a global basis. It shows what is going wrong, why problems arise, where the crisis points are and what we should be doing about it. The report sometimes makes gloomy reading. But the news is not all black. The research summarised here suggests that, whilst far from perfect, most protected areas are doing a fair job of protecting biodiversity most of the time. In some cases the situation is still deteriorating, while in others things are improving. One of the threats highlighted in a case study originally prepared for this report, on proposals for a major expansion of salt mining in El Vizcaino biosphere reserve in Mexico, has recently been averted and we congratulate the Mexican government on a far-sighted decision. Sadly, such successes are still too rare and for example the bushmeat crisis in the Congo Basin serves as a stark reminder of just how fast wildlife can be lost from protected areas; throughout the region mammals, birds and reptiles are being hunted to feed an apparently ever-growing market for wild meat. A Canadian government report, published in spring 2000 as this report was going to press, reminds us that problems are not confined to the poorer countries. Please read this report. And, much more importantly, please support the work of the governments, conservation organisations and community groups that are struggling to ensure that “protected areas” really do equal “protection”.

  • List of Horse Breeds 1 List of Horse Breeds
    List of horse breeds 1 List of horse breeds This page is a list of horse and pony breeds, and also includes terms used to describe types of horse that are not breeds but are commonly mistaken for breeds. While there is no scientifically accepted definition of the term "breed,"[1] a breed is defined generally as having distinct true-breeding characteristics over a number of generations; its members may be called "purebred". In most cases, bloodlines of horse breeds are recorded with a breed registry. However, in horses, the concept is somewhat flexible, as open stud books are created for developing horse breeds that are not yet fully true-breeding. Registries also are considered the authority as to whether a given breed is listed as Light or saddle horse breeds a "horse" or a "pony". There are also a number of "color breed", sport horse, and gaited horse registries for horses with various phenotypes or other traits, which admit any animal fitting a given set of physical characteristics, even if there is little or no evidence of the trait being a true-breeding characteristic. Other recording entities or specialty organizations may recognize horses from multiple breeds, thus, for the purposes of this article, such animals are classified as a "type" rather than a "breed". The breeds and types listed here are those that already have a Wikipedia article. For a more extensive list, see the List of all horse breeds in DAD-IS. Heavy or draft horse breeds For additional information, see horse breed, horse breeding and the individual articles listed below.
