In Nepal and elsewhere, haphazardly built rural roads have destabilised numerous mountain slopes, causing severe erosion. As rainfall has intensified due to climate change, landslides have become more frequent, leading to the loss of lives and the destruction of property and agricultural land. And even if roads survive the monsoon season intact, most require costly and labour-intense clearing efforts, slowing down the movement of people and goods.
But a simple nature-based solution has begun to make a difference: planting grasses and plants such as broom grass or bamboo on the slopes has helped stabilise them, securing roads and reducing the risk posed by landslides.
The IUCN Global Standard for NbS can be used to assess and scale up such solutions and their benefits.

Sustainably managed mangroves can provide ecosystem services such as coastal protection, food and medicines as well as carbon storage, positively impacting both biodiversity and human well-being. The IUCN Global Standard for NbS provides a tool to help ensure that projects labelled as Nature-based Solutions - for example through restoration of mangroves - do indeed deliver the anticipated benefits to both society and biodiversity.

IUCN Standard to boost impact of nature-based solutions to global challenges
Gland, Switzerland, 23 July 2024 (IUCN) – IUCN today unveiled a Global Standard providing the first-ever set of benchmarks for nature-based solutions to global challenges. The new IUCN Global Standard will help governments, business and civil society ensure the effectiveness of nature-based solutions and maximise their potential to help address climate change, biodiversity loss and other societal challenges on a global scale. -

He succeeds Inger Andersen who served as Director General from 2015 to 2024 and is now Executive Director at the United Nations Environment Programme.

The ring-tailed lemur (lemur catta) is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List. This lemur is found in the dry forests, spiny bush, montane forest, mangroves, rocky outcrops, and one rainforest in southern and south-western Madagascar, and in one humid forest in south-eastern Madagascar. Despite the species' large range and flexibility, its population density is often very low and populations are largely restricted to isolated forest fragmentsExperts suspect that its population has declined by at least 50% over a three-generation period.

Gland, Switzerland, 9 July 2024 (IUCN) – Almost a third (31%) of all lemur species in Madagascar are now Critically Endangered – just one step away from extinction – with 98% of them threatened, according to today’s update of The IUCN Red List of Threatened SpeciesTM. This update completes a revision of all African primate assessments, concluding that over half of all primate species in the rest of Africa are under threat. This update also reveals that the North Atlantic Right Whale and the European Hamster are now both Critically Endangered.
