Towards a conservation strategy for the World's temperate grasslands outlines our global strategy and four regional action plans. Building on this strategy regional action plans have been developed for the Northern Great Plains of North America, the various grassland biomes of South America, the Kazakh Steppe and the transboundary Daurian Steppe and Amur River Basin of Eastern Mongolia, Russia and China. Additional background documents have also been written to support this strategic approach. - Temperate Indigenous Grasslands Gains in South Africa: Lessons being learned in a developing country: PARKS 20.1 Carbutt & Martindale (2014)
