Important bird areas in Fiji
    Masibalavu, Vilikesa T. | Dutson, Guy

This book describes the 14 sites in Fiji which are of global importance for bird conservation.

Fiji's rich natural heritage includes 11 threatened bird species and 27 endemic bird species. This book updates the status and conservation needs of all these special birds. This book is aimed at land-use planners, policy-makers, conservationists, forestry managers, researchers, birdwatchers and local land owners.
The water mysteries of Mesa Verde
    Wright, Kenneth R.

When Kenneth Wright went hiking through Mesa Verde National Park with his wife, he didn't expect to be pulled into a research project on ancient waterworks. But he was. It started with a structure called the Morefield Mound. The use of this structure had been debated by scientists all over the world. Using the science of paleohydrology--the study of water use and water handling by ancient people--Wright and his researchers were able to prove that this and other similar sights in the park were in fact reservoirs for ancient peoples who lived in Mesa Verde. This enthralling book meticulously recounts the intelligence, the ingenuity, and the forethought of our ancestors.

Agroecología y la lucha para la soberanía alimentaria en las Américas
    Cohn, Avery | Cook, Jonathan | Fernández, Margarita | Reider, Rebecca | Steward, Corrina

Este libro busca: 1. examinar las dimensiones política, económica, cultural y ecológica de la soberanía alimenticia 2. generar e intercambiar conocimiento técnicamente informado y aplicable prácticamente 3. Facilitar la formación de alianzas entre culturas entre los EE.UU. y América Latina entre académicos y practicantes. Aborda una pregunta recurrente sobre cómo construir relaciones más fuertes entre académicos y practicantes, incluyendo agricultores y ONGs, que trabajan en la intersección entre los temas sobre alimentos, agricultura, y medio ambiente. El libro se gestó a partir de un taller en la Universidad de Yale sobre “Soberanía Alimenticia, Conservación, y Movimientos Sociales para una Agricultura Sostenible en las Américas”. Sobre la base del espíritu de este taller único los organizadores compilaron este libro que sintetiza los procedimientos, se expanden sobre hallazgos que de ahí se derivaron, y proveen recomendaciones concretas para académicos, formuladores de políticas, movimientos de agricultores, y otras audiencias.

Global biodiversity outlook 2
   

Global Biodiversity Outlook 2 assesses the current status and trends of biodiversity and the key drivers of biodiversity loss. It provides a powerful case for the importance of biodiversity to human well-being. The report contains a succinct overview of the status of the implementation of the Convention on Biological Diversity, progress towards the 2010 Biodiversity Target and its contribution to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals. As 2010 approaches, the document identifies key actions required at the individual, institutional and systemic levels to achieve the 2010 target.
Environment and trade : a guide to WTO jurisprudence
    Bernasconi-Osterwalder, Nathalie | Magraw, Daniel Barstow | Oliva, Maria Julia | Orellana, Marcos | Tuerk, Elisabeth

International trade rules have significant impacts on environmental law and policy, at the domestic, regional and global levels. At the World Trade Organization (WTO), dispute settlement tribunals are increasingly called to decide on environment- and health-related questions. Can governments treat products differently based on environmental considerations? Can they block the import of highly carcinogenic asbestos-containing products or genetically modified crops? Does the WTO allow governments to protect dolphins or endangered sea turtles through the use of import restrictions on certain products? How can civil society participate in WTO dispute settlement? This guide is an accessible, comprehensive, one-of-a-kind compendium of environment and trade jurisprudence under the WTO. Providing an overview for both experts and non-experts of the major themes relevant to environment and trade, it also analyses how WTO tribunals have approached these themes in concrete disputes and provides selected excerpts of the most significant cases. 
Proceedings of the international conference on conservation and management of vulture populations
    Houston, David (David C.) | Piper, Steven E.

More than 150 experts, scientists, NGO representatives, students and other interested individuals participated in the International Conference on the “Conservation and Management of Vulture Populations” (14-16 November 2005, Thessaloniki, Greece). Emphasis was given to transnational cooperation and representatives of Balkan NGOs (Bulgaria, Croatia, FYROM, Serbia and Montenegro) as well as Turkey, Ukraine and Israel were invited to participate. Invited speakers from Europe and other parts of the world presented their experience regarding the topics of the conference (e.g. monitoring systems, artificial feeding, habitat modelling, population dynamics, reintroduction projects, conservation genetics, and specific studies of LIFE projects), while an extensive discussion took part after the end of the oral presentations. A parallel poster exhibition was also held.
