Вопрос сохранения биоразнообразия на Земле, в целом, и разнообразие растений в частности, имеет очень важное значение в настоящее время. Саммит в Рио-де-Жанейро, 5 июня 1992 года, является колоколом мира Спасите Землю , где отмечена вся важность проблемы, связанной с биоразнообразием Земли Ричард Б. Примак, Фам Бинь Куйен, 1999. Вьетнам является одним из мировых центров биоразнообразия, поэтому эта проблема сохранения является актуальной. Заповедник Хау Ка был создан для сохранения и защиты обезьяны, научное название Rhinopithecus avunculus. Это один из 25 редких и исчезающих приматов мира, в настоящее время встречается только во Вьетнаме. Территория заповедника Хау Ка, расположена в северной части биогеографической зоны. Здесь лесная растительность является одной из наиболее важных экосистем во Вьетнаме и считается одной из наиболее ценных центров биоразнообразия. Объектами исследования является лесная растительность на территории заповедника Хау Ка. Для исследования лесной растительности заповедника проведено описание растительности на 20 пробных площадях и 4 маршрутных профилях. В ходе описания растительности было собрано около 700 гербарных образцов растений. В ходе анализа геоботанических описаний растительности было выделено 8 основных растительных сообществ: 5 естественных растительных сообществ и 3 вторичных растительных сообщества. The issue of the conservation of biodiversity on Earth, in general, and the diversity of plants in particular, is very important at present. The Summit in Rio de Janeiro, June 5, 1992, is the worlds Save the Earth bell, where all the importance of the problem related to the biodiversity of the Earth is noted Richard B. Primack, Pham Binh Quyen, 1999. Vietnam is one of the world centers of biodiversity, therefore theproblem of biodiversity conservation is relevant. The preserve Khau Ca was created to protect biodiversity and protect the thin-nosed monkey Tonkin, the scientific name of Rhinopithecus avunculus. It is one of 25 rare and endangered primates of the world, currently only in Vietnam. Khau Ca Reserve, located in the northern part of the biogeographic zone. This type of forest vegetation structure is one of the most important ecosystems in Vietnam and is considered one of the most valuable centers of biodiversity and areas of biodiversity conservation. The objects of research are forest vegetation on the territory of the reserve Khau Ca. During a study at the Khau Ca Nature Reserve and the collection of basic scientific data as a basis for the description of vegetation: the description of vegetation was described with 20 test plots and 4 route lines of research. As evidence, about 700 samples (herbariums) of plants were collected. During the analysis of vegetation, the study area the initially identified plant system in the study area consists of 8 main types of vegetation: 5 types of local communities of the primary flora and 3 secondary plant communities.

Gaps in biodiversity conservation management within the Conservation Area that are the responsibility of the central government and outside the Conservation Areas or as the Essential Ecosystems Area (EEA) which are the authority of the Regional Government, have caused various spatial conflicts between wildlife /wild plants and land management activities. Several obstacles faced by the Local Government to conduct its authority to manage (EEA), caused the number and area of EEA determined by the Local Government to be still low. At present only 703,000 ha are determined from the 67 million ha indicated by EEA. This study aims to overview biodiversity conservation policies by local governments and company perceptions in implementing conservation policies and formulate strategies for optimizing the role of Local Governments. From the results of this study, there has not been found any legal umbrella for the implementation of Law number 23/ 2014 related to the conservation of important ecosystems in the regions. This regulatory vacuum leaves the local government in a dilemma for continuing various conservation programs. By using a SWOT to the internal strategic environment and external stratetegic environment of the Environment and Forestry Service, Bengkulu Province , as well as using an analysis of company perceptions of the conservation policies regulatary , this study has been formulated a “survival strategy” through collaboration between the Central Government, Local Governments and the Private Sector to optimize the role of Local Government’s to establish EEA in the regions.Keywords: Management gaps, Essential Ecosystems Area (EEA), Conservation Areas, SWOT analysis and perception analysis

The coverage of natural history in British newspapers has evolved from a “Nature notes” format – usually a regular column submitted by a local amateur naturalist – to professional, larger-format, presentations by dedicated environmental correspondents. Not all such environmental correspondents, however, have natural-history expertise or even a scientific background. Yorkshire's Michael Clegg was a man who had a life-long love of nature wedded to a desire to communicate that passion. He moved from a secure position in the museum world (with a journalistic sideline) to become a freelance newspaper journalist and (subsequently) commentator on radio and television dealing with, and campaigning on, environmental issues full-time. As such, he exemplified the transition in how natural history coverage in the media evolved in the final decades of the twentieth century reflecting modern concerns about biodiversity, conservation, pollution and sustainable development.

Abstract—A new species of Eugenia from the Atlantic forest of Brazil is described and illustrated. Eugenia flavicarpa is restricted to the Floresta de Tabuleiro (lowland forests) of Espírito Santo state and is nested in Eugenia subg. Pseudeugenia. Considering all other species of the subgenus that occur in forest vegetation types of the Atlantic forest phytogeographic domain, Eugenia flavicarpa can be distinguished mainly by the combination of smooth leaves with indumentum on both surfaces, with two marginal veins, usually ramiflorous inflorescences, pedicels 4.5‐9.7 mm long, flower buds 3.5‐4 mm in diameter, and by the calyx lobes that are 2‐3 mm long with rounded to obtuse apices. Morphological analyses were performed to explore the significance of quantitative diagnostic features between the new species and the closely related species, Eugenia farneyi. Notes on the habitat, distribution, phenology, and conservation status of Eugenia flavicarpa are provided, as well as a key for all species of Eugenia subg. Pseudeugenia from forest vegetation of the Atlantic forest phytogeographic domain.
