Legal, policy and institutional aspects of urban and peri-urban forestry in West and Central Asia (with a case study of Armenia)
2006Also available in:
No results found.A thematic study on “Urban and peri-urban forestry” focuses on the potentials and constraints for urban forestry development at regional and sub-regional levels considering the current experience and future prospects of urbanization in the region that is expected to take place in the next 15 years. As a complement to this thematic Urban and peri-urban forestry study, a livelihoods analysis of the contribution of forests and trees to urban poor livelihoods has been carried out the Sub-programme o n access to natural resources of the Livelihood Support Programme (GCP/INT/803/UK). This paper presents the analysis. It represents part of an area of work on linkages between access to forest resources and poverty in West and Central Asia.

ProjectProgramme / project reportReport of the technical meeting on the lessepsian migration and its impact on Eastern Mediterranean fishery
Nicosia, Cyprus, 7 - 9 December 2010
2010Also available in:
No results found.The sub-regional technical meeting on the lessepsian migration and its impact on Eastern Mediterranean fisheries was held in Nicosia, Cyprus from the 7 th to 9 th of December 2010. Experts from Cyprus, Egypt, Gaza Strip and West Bank, Greece, Italy, Lebanon and Turkey attended the meeting. After the opening of the meeting two general presentations were given concerning the “tropicalisationâ€ÂÂ� effect and the oceanography of the Eastern Mediterranean. Information regarding lessepsian species and their influence on local fisheries were also given by the representatives of each country. The participants discussed future research ideas on lessepsian species especially with respect to fisheries. The problem of Lagocephalus sceleratus was highly discussed since this species is causing considerable damage to fisher`s static nets and longlines in all the countries in the project area. The participants mentioned that some lessepsian species s uch as Siganus spp. and Saurida undosquamis, among others were successfully introduced into the local markets and in some cases of high commercial value. The marketing and commercialisation of lessepsian species was seen as of high priority. Educating the local public was also important since for example Lagocephalus spp. is a toxic species and there is a high risk of death if people consume individuals of this species. A network of experts on lessepsian species was established, which would have the responsibility to promote the issue of lessepsian species in the Mediterranean and develop a database on lessepsian species. The network will also assist the Coordination Committee through the focal points to propose solutions to avoid the harmful effects of lessepsian species on the Eastern Mediterranean fisheries. Most of the issues described in this report are at the moment relevant to the Eastern Mediterranean which however, in the near future will sur ely increase in importance in the other parts of the Mediterranean. -
