Knowledge and impact of participation : technical analysis of a knowledge survey
Social quality in the conservation process of living heritage sites
    Kong, Ping

The aim of this research is to: 1) identify the negative impact of conservation policies implemented in living World Heritage sites on the social quality of traditional communities; 2) develop a design tool constraining spatial morphology to overcome the negative influences on the social quality The study leads to a new approach to conservation planning that takes into account sustaining social quality while enforcing UNESCO World Heritage conservation program.
Safety net : protected areas and poverty reduction : a research report by WWF and Equilibrium
Crop wild relative conservation and use
Conserving plant genetic diversity in protected areas : population management of crop wild relatives
    Iriondo, José María | Maxted, Nigel | Dulloo, Mohammad Ehsan

This book is about the conservation of genetic diversity of wild plants in situ in their natural surroundings, primarily in existing protected areas but also outside conventional protected areas. The principles outlined are equally applicable for the in situ genetic conservation of any wild plant species, whether the aim is to maintain a species threatened by habitat fragmentation, over-collection from the wild or a species that has potential use as a gene donor to our crops.
The role of the environment in poverty alleviation
    Galizzi, Paolo | Herklotz, Alena

Essays in this publication offer perspectives and strategies to promote both environmental conservation and poverty eradication. Reflecting a range of disciplines, issues, and settings, they cover four interrelated topics: the link between poverty reduction and the environment by encouraging integration of environmental management and development; environmental disasters, their impact on poor people, and the ways to prevent or mitigate their consequences; conservation knowledge and the role of information and education in sustainable development; and legal empowerment of the poor.
The ecosystem approach to fisheries
    Bianchi, G. (Gabriella) | Skjoldal, Hein Rune

This text covers both theoretical and applied aspects of sustainable management, with a particular emphasis on reviewing concepts and addressing implementation issues in the form of case studies from around the world. Personal experiences from diverse backgrounds are considered and the best practices to facilitate further implementation are discussed. Researchers, practitioners and policy makers in fisheries, aquaculture, marine biology and ecology will find this book an invaluable overview and guide to new perspectives in fisheries management.
The Bandhavgarh inheritance
No-till farming systems
    Goddard, Tom | Zoebisch, Michael A. | Gan, Yantai | Ellis, Wyn | Watson, Alex | Samran Sombatpanit

This book aims to celebrate from where no-till has come, and to advance the concept by sharing the latest information and knowledge from around the world. New frontiers and the most recent developments are discussed. One of the most significant of these is the expanding interest in how carbon accumulation in agricultural systems can both enable greater adaptation to climate change and contribute to the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions. The carbon markets are rapidly taking note of the vast potential for no-till systems to contribute to carbon offsets, thus opening up the opportunity for progressive farmers to gain additional income for their efforts to create more sustainable and productive no-till farming.
Okavango Delta management plan
   

The Government of Botswana is proud to have finalized the development of the Okavango Delta Management Plan (ODMP). The ODMP will provide a contextual framework within which all other sector plans should operate within the North West District.

Flora e Fauna Terrestre Invasora na Macaronésia : TOP 100 nos Açores, Madeira e Canárias = Flora y Fauna Terrestre Invasora en la Macaronesia : TOP 100 en Azores, Madeira y Canarias = Invasive terrestrial flora and fauna of Macaronesia : TOP 100 in Azo
    Silva, Luís | Ojeda Land, Elizabeth | Rodríguez Luengo, Juan Luis

This book aims to answer questions relating to species introduced into the Macaronesian environment, including the Canary Islands (Spain), Madeira (Portugal) and the Azores (Portugal). It is a first attempt to present information regarding alien species in the European region of Macaronesia in a systematic way. A standard set of criteria was designed and applied to those species considered as naturalized and occupying natural and semi-natural habitats. This book is also intended to serve as a tool to raise awareness of the problem of IAS (invasive alien species). In fact, island ecosystems have been considered as more susceptible to IAS than continental systems, largely due to the small scale of the islands and to peculiarities of island biota which make them more susceptible to foreign competitors, predators and pathogens. However, islands, particularly European islands, are important hotspots for biodiversity, and the preservation of this natural heritage is currently also dependent on the implementation of effective measures to contain IAS.
