《IUCN连通性最佳实践指南》

Guidelines for conserving connectivity through ecological networks and corridors

连通性保护，对于管理健康的生态系统、保护生物多样性和适应所有生物群落和空间尺度的气候变化至关重要。连接良好的生态系统支持多种生态功能，如迁徙、水文、营养循环、授粉、种子传播、粮食安全、气候恢复力和抗病能力。这些指导方针是以维持、加强和恢复保护区、其他有效的区域保护措施（OECMs）和其他完整生态系统之间的生态连通性的最佳可用科学和实践为基础的。本出版物首次引入了一个共同的定义，并建议正式承认生态走廊是与保护地和OECMs一起构成生态网络的重要组成部分。此外，这些指南还包括25个案例研究，展示了在不同的空间和时间尺度上，保护不同生态系统和物种的生态连通性和生态网络的当前方法。

Connectivity conservation is essential for managing healthy ecosystems, conserving biodiversity and adapting to climate change across all biomes and spatial scales. Well-connected ecosystems support a diversity of ecological functions such as migration, hydrology, nutrient cycling, pollination, seed dispersal, food security, climate resilience and disease resistance. These Guidelines are based on the best available science and practice for maintaining, enhancing and restoring ecological connectivity among and between protected areas, other effective areas based conservation measures (OECMs) and other intact ecosystems. For the first time, this publication introduces a common definition and recommends formal recognition of ecological corridors to serve as critical building blocks of ecological networks in conjunction with protected areas and OECMs. Furthermore, these Guidelines also include 25 case studies that demonstrate current approaches to conserving ecological connectivity and ecological networks for different ecosystems and species, and at different spatial and temporal scales.
