2018Also available in:
Locust Bulletin in CCA General situation during April 2018 Forecast until mid-June 2018 Moroccan Locust (DMA) hopper development was in progress in all Central Asian (CA) countries except the Russian Federation as well as in Georgia and probably in Azerbaijan. Because of the earlier appearance of the pest, DMA situation is considered as critical in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. During the forecast period, DMA fledging will occur in most countries while hatching followed by hopper development will take place in the Russian Federation and generalize in Georgia and probably Azerbaijan. Italian Locust (CIT) hopper development will continue in Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan and hatching will start in the other CCA countries. LMI hatching will also start. Since the beginning of the national campaigns, 464 000 ha have been treated against DMA hopper bands -

Locusts in CCA General situation during August 2018 Forecast until mid-October 2018 Italian Locust (CIT) mating and egg-laying continued in Armenia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russian Federation and Tajikistan. Migratory Locust (LMI) mating and egg-laying continued in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and the Russian Federation. During the forecast period, locusts will complete their natural cycle in most areas. Control operations ended in all countries; since the beginning of the national campaigns, about 3.5 million ha have been treated in Caucasus and Central Asia (CCA), which is close to the area treated in 2017 (3.6 million ha). -

2018Also available in:
Moroccan Locust (DMA) hopper development was in progress in Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation while it was coming to an end in Azerbaijan and Georgia as well as in southern Central Asian (CA) countries where fledging and even mating had already started. Cross-border movements of adult groups were reported. During the forecast period, DMA breeding will generalize in all those countries and the species will start disappearing in southern CA. Italian Locust (CIT) hatching occurred and hopper development was in progress in all countries except Azerbaijan and Afghanistan, where it was not reported as a pest. Migratory Locust (LMI) hatching started in Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan. For both CIT and LMI, fledging will start during the forecast period. Since the beginning of the national campaigns, more than 1 442 000 ha have been treated mainly against DMA hopper bands.

Book (stand-alone)High-profileState of knowledge of soil biodiversity - Status, challenges and potentialities
Report 2020
2020Also available in:
No results found.There is increasing attention to the importance of biodiversity for food security and nutrition, especially above-ground biodiversity such as plants and animals. However, less attention is being paid to the biodiversity beneath our feet, soil biodiversity, which drives many processes that produce food or purify soil and water. This report is the result of an inclusive process involving more than 300 scientists from around the world under the auspices of the FAO’s Global Soil Partnership and its Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative, and the European Commission. It presents concisely the state of knowledge on soil biodiversity, the threats to it, and the solutions that soil biodiversity can provide to problems in different fields. It also represents a valuable contribution to raising awareness of the importance of soil biodiversity and highlighting its role in finding solutions to today's global threats. -
Book (series)FAO journalForests: nature-based solutions for water
No. 251. Vol. 70 2019/1
2019Water – drinkable, usable water – is likely to be one of the most limiting resources in the future, given the growing global population, the high water demand of most agricultural production systems, and the confounding effects of climate change. We need to manage water wisely – efficiently, cost-effectively and equitably – if we are to avoid the calamity of a lack of usable water supply. Forested watersheds provide an estimated 75 percent of the world’s accessible freshwater resources, on which more than half the Earth’s people depend for domestic, agricultural, industrial and environmental purposes. Forests therefore, are vital natural infrastructure, and their management can provide “nature-based solutions” for a range of water-related societal challenges. This edition of Unasylva explores that potential. -
Book (stand-alone)High-profileStatus of the World's Soil Resources: Main Report 2015
Also available in:
No results found.The SWSR is a reference document on the status of global soil resources that provides regional assessments of soil change. The information is based on peer-reviewed scientific literature, complemented with expert knowledge and project outputs. It provides a description and a ranking of ten major soil threats that endanger ecosystem functions, goods and services globally and in each region separately. Additionally, it describes direct and indirect pressures on soils and ways and means to combat s oil degradation. The report contains a Synthesis report for policy makers that summarizes its findings, conclusions and recommendations.The full report has been divided into sections and individual chapters for ease of downloading:
