Edited by Jessica Campese, Terry Sunderland, Thomas Greiber and Gonzalo Oviedo

A new publication examining the links between human rights protection, biodiversity and natural resource conservation was recently launched in Beijing, China on 12 July.  Rights-based approaches: Exploring issues and opportunities for conservation was jointly produced by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR).  As a collection of diverse lessons and perspectives in understanding and addressing the links between conservation and human rights, it focuses on new challenges and questions to determine what rights-based approaches mean for conservation policy and its implementation.
