Para que la restauración de paisajes forestales (RPF) sea sostenible y responda a las múltiples necesidades medioambientales y del desarrollo, es necesario que exista diálogo y coordinación entre los diferentes sectores, agentes e instituciones.
This report seeks to share understanding of the roots of plastic polymer pathways to the Baltic Sea, then moves to defining the nature and extent of the problem, then passes to the impacts on sea ice habitat and marine species of the region.
Illegal trade in wildlife has increased dramatically over the past decade; however, so have enforcement efforts aimed at mitigating this threat. Successful enforcement often involves the seizure and confiscation of wild species from diverse taxa of plants, animals and fungi.
Ein Habitatbaum ist ein Baum, der mindestens ein Baummikrohabitat trägt. Baummikrohabitate sind klar abgegrenzte Habitatstrukturen, die von teilweise hochspezialisierten Arten oder Artengemeinschaften während zumindest eines Teils ihres Lebenszyklus genutzt werden.

Le plastique a pénétré chaque aspect de notre vie : des vêtements aux peintures en passant par les véhicules et les produits d’hygiène. Le plastique est bon marché, durable, léger et malléable, ses usages sont donc quasi illimités.
Plastic pollution originates from various sources. While many industries are taking steps to reduce their dependence on plastic, there is currently no reliable methodology to forecast specifically the extent of the marine plastic leakage from an industry or a country and map potential leakage hot

A unique introduction to the fields of macroevolution and macroecology, which takes an enquiry-led approach to exploring the evolution and distribution of biodiversity across time, space and lineages.
The rapidly increasing human pressure on the biosphere is pushing biodiversity into the sixth mass extinction event in the history of life on Earth. The organisms being exterminated are integral working parts of our planet’s life support system, and their loss is permanent.
