Sažetak
The Guidelines for Cave and Karst Protection prepared and published by the IUCN / WCPA working group gave some attention to biological issues, but even at the time, it was recognised that more detailed treatment of biodiversity issues was required. A recent meeting under the joint aegis of IUCN and the World Bank examined the impact of limestone quarrying upon biodiversity, and further highlighted the need for this. A proposal and outline for a further initiative from the working party is accordingly presented here.
