Abstract
The book is a compilation of case studies focusing on the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity of global significance in arid and semiarid regions of Southern nations. The case studies were developed as part of the GEF/UNEP funded project “Promoting Best Practices for Conservation and Sustainable Use of Biodiversity of Global Significance in Arid and Semiarid Zones” (project number GF/1300-99-03) implemented by the Third World Network of Scientific Organizations (TWNSO) in Trieste, Italy.
