A controversy at the 2016 IUCN World Conservation Congress on the topic of closing domestic ivory markets (the 007, or so-called James Bond, motion) has given rise to a debate on IUCN's value proposition. A cross-section of authors who are engaged in IUCN but not employed by the organization, and with diverse perspectives and opinions, here argue for the importance of safeguarding and strengthening the unique technical and convening roles of IUCN, providing examples of what has and has not worked. Recommendations for protecting and enhancing IUCN's contribution to global conservation debates and policy formulation are given.

The unsustainable use of wild animals and plants is thought to be a significant driver of biodiversity loss in many regions of the world. The international community has therefore called for action to ensure the sustainable use of living resources and safeguard them for future generations. Indicators that can track changes in populations of species used by humans are essential tools for measuring progress towards these ideals and informing management decisions. Here we present two indicators that could be used to track changes in populations of utilized vertebrate species and levels of harvest sustainability. Preliminary results based on sample data both at the global level and for the Arctic show that utilized species are faring better than other species overall. This could be a consequence of better management of these populations, as indicated by more sustainable harvest levels in recent decades. Limitations of the indicators are still apparent; in particular, there is a lack of data on harvested populations of some vertebrate classes and from certain regions. Focusing monitoring efforts on broadening the scope of data collected and identifying interactions with other potential drivers of decline will strengthen these indicators as policy tools and improve their potential to be incorporated into future sets of indicators to track progress towards global biodiversity targets.

Private sector bodies can be important owners and managers of conservation areas. However, little is known about the extent, scale and scope of private protected areas. Understanding and defining the characterizations of private protected areas are problematic, as private sector involvement in protected areas can involve an array of different tenure arrangements, management approaches and levels of control. This review examines the challenges of developing protected area categorization beyond the traditional state-led model. We review private protected areas in Kenya and Tanzania, exploring their tenure, the nature of the private sector organizations managing them, and the extent of control exercised within them. Drawing on this we develop a working typology with the aim to encourage further discourse amongst the conservation community on the emerging phenomenon of private protected areas.

Summary
INTRODUCTION
The use of wildlife remains in something of a cleft stick as a possible solution to contemporary problems in conservation (Hutton and Leader-Williams, 2003), such as offsetting the costs of conflict between people and wildlife. On the one hand, the list of abuses suffered by many species of wildlife when used commercially seems endless (Milner-Gulland and Mace 1998; Bennett and Robinson 2000). At the same time, the Convention on Biological Diversity promotes the role of sustainable use in providing people with the necessary incentives to conserve biodiversity on land, which ultimately requires decisions about the opportunity costs of different forms of land use (McNeely 1988, Swanson 1994; Hutton and Leader-Williams 2003; Convention on Biological Diversity 2005).
The Convention on Biological Diversity has, nevertheless, based its aspirations on situations where wise use has led to positive incentives for conservation. For example, the catastrophic losses of native species after the colonization of North America led sportsmen to protect their interests in the early and mid nineteenth century, by seeking to reduce the numbers of game animals killed and establish preserves (Gray 1993). Sportsmen who fished and hunted for pleasure, rather than for commerce or necessity, became one spearhead for formal policies to conserve wildlife and its habitats (Reiger 1986; Jackson 1996). Likewise, following the colonization of Africa, formal conservation policies in many countries in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century sought to regulate hunting and to establish game reserves (MacKenzie 1988; Leader-Williams 2000), and subsequently in southern Africa to re-establish species on private land to create further hunting opportunities (Bothma 2002; Lewis and Jackson, Chapter 15).

Discussions of sustainable use have become polarized. Welfarists oppose all use that involves killing animals. Among conservationists polarization arises in part from failure to distinguish between different ideas nestled under the umbrella term of ‘sustainable use’. These include direct use as an imperative or choice, the ideal of keeping any use within biologically sustainable limits, and use as a possible conservation strategy that can create positive incentives, which are key where land could otherwise be converted to biodiversity-unfriendly practices. People will continue to use wild living resources, which increasing human populations could further deplete. In response the conservation community can follow one of two approaches. On the one hand, it can try to stop use through the establishment of strictly protected areas and by enforcing legislation, although many would question the ethical position of imposing such an approach. On the other hand, it can work to introduce the wider management systems needed to deliver sustainable use and, if possible, incentive-driven conservation. Because most rural populations will continue using wild living resources in human-dominated landscapes, sustainable use and incentive-driven conservation should both be at the centre of the conservation agenda this century. Both species- and ecosystem-based management are likely to have a role in sustainable use. However, current enthusiasm for the ecosystem approach may throw up unexpected consequences, making the search for sustainability even more polarized. Nevertheless, direct use of species cannot provide sufficient incentives to ensure the continued delivery of ecosystem services, which need to be fully incorporated in the global accounting system.
