Introduction The borders that delineate our sovereign states are part of the foundations of our modern world. They evolved through historical processes shaped by conflicts, revolutions, wars and peace. These borders can range from a virtual division of space with no physical presence on the ground, to very clear separations marked by fences, walls and more. This very human world is in contradiction with the inherent characteristics of the natural world that does not adapt to these human borders and cannot be constrained by administrative and political divisions. Hence, some ecosystems extend over the borders of two or more states, migratory species move freely across them and the water cycles disregard them too. And yet despite this situation, transboundary conservation areas are still relatively rare and only compose a minority of the otherwise fast growing number of natural protected areas throughout the world. As we will see in this report, transboundary cooperation is a challenging and complex process that requires a lot of effort and trust from all stakeholders involved. However, the benefits of cooperation are significant and range from improving biodiversity and ecosystem conservation, creating opportunities for an ease in diplomatic relations between states, providing sustainable development for local communities through activities such as ecotourism, or creating cultural exchanges between local communities. The central aim of this report is to provide an overview on the situation of transboundary nature conservation on the international scale in order to highlight its benefits, challenges, mechanisms and processes in the hope of bringing relevant information and examples to stakeholders wanting to engage in transboundary conservation. The more specific aim is to provide an overview of transboundary cooperation activities in East and Northeast Asia and the potential for their development by looking at transboundary wetland conservation

This monograph provides a comprehensive review and analysis of the available litera- ture on the monitoring of big cats. Special attention is paid to the most up-to-date methods based on recent advances in technology, resulting in useful tools to remotely and non- invasively study animals in natural habitats, essential when working with rare species. Existing large- and small-scale approaches to monitoring big cats are described. Methods of monitoring the habitat conditions of the species and their dynamics, as well as the basics of modeling territories with suitable conditions for leopards, are suggested. The whole range of field sampling methods that enable data to be processed using contempo- rary techniques is described.

  • New Occurrences of Corticioid and Poroid Fungi (Basidiomycota) in Kedrovaya Pad Nature Reserve, Primorye Territory, Russian Far East
    Folia Cryptog. Estonica, Fasc. 54: 43–50 (2017) http://dx.doi.org/10.12697/fce.2017.54.08 New occurrences of corticioid and poroid fungi (Basidiomycota) in Kedrovaya Pad Nature Reserve, Primorye Territory, Russian Far East Ilya A. Viner & Lyudmila Yu. Kokaeva Moscow State University, Faculty of Biology, Russia. E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract: New data on corticioid and poroid basidiomycetes from Kedrovaya Pad Nature Reserve, Primorye Territory, Russian Far East, is presented. Altogether there are 182 known species from the reserve; 76 are reported as new to the reserve and two as new to Russia. The material was collected in July of 2016 from 9 study plots located in forests of different types. Findings of some rarely collected species such as Botryobasidium botryoideum, Cerinomyces aff. aculeatus, Junghuhnia aurantilaeta, Phanerochaete robusta and Tyromyces wynneae are briefly discussed. The full-length ITS sequences ofJunghuhnia aurantilaeta, Phanerochaete robusta, Pyrrhoderma cf. sendaiense and Tyromyces wynneae were obtained and deposited in the GenBank. Junghuhnia aurantilaeta is proposed to be included in the new edition of the Red Data Book of Primorye Territory. The paper expands the knowledge of distribution of many species and increases the total number of species reported for the reserve. Keywords: biodiversity; corticioids; polypors; Russian Far East INTRODUCTION MATERIALS AND METHODS The Kedrovaya Pad Nature Reserve is located on Fruit bodies were collected in Kedrovaya Pad the coastal spurs of the Manchurian Mountains.

Today, protected natural areas cover about 15% of the Earth’s land. &ese areas by definition are supposed to be free of pollution; they nevertheless suffer from the effects of aerial transport of anthropogenic polluting substances. In this study, we evaluated the impact of settlements on protected natural areas to determine the optimal distance beyond which the anthropogenic influence would be minimal. For this purpose, we analyzed the particle size distribution and the content of metals in fresh snow samples collected in the Bastak Nature Reserve and the neighboring Birobidzhan city (Russian Federation). Both sites contained comparable proportions of PM10 and contents of heavy metals, which points to the transportation of air pollutants from the city to the reserve.
