Following the IPA Habitat mapping workshop in Tolox last year, the discussions and comments have been incorporated into a new methodology handbook. The handbook plus an analysis of habitat mapping in the south and east Mediterranean region are both available (in English and in French) from the Centre for Middle Eastern Plants IPA Med Documentation Platform.

We hope you will find this Handbook useful and we encourage you to use the Help Desk if you have doubts that may arise from practical implementation of the habitat mapping methodology.

• Habitat Mapping in Important Plant Areas. Methodology Handbook
• Habitat Mapping in the south and east Mediterranean region. A brief situation analysis

These documents can be downloaded from http://www.uicnmed.org/projects/documentationplatform/104
