National parks without people? : the South American experience
    Amend, Stephan | Amend, Thora

The relationship between protected natural areas and local human populations is extemely complex. This challenging book with diverse contributions from experts covering 13 countries, places the issues in context. Originally published in Spanish, it clearly demonstrates that people are part of most national parks, and policies which ignore their presence are doomed to failure. Each country section opens with an introduction to the protected area system and nature protection policy, followed by an analysis of the legal aspects of human occupation, and concludes with descriptions of management experiences.

The impact of climate change on ecosystems and species : terrestrial ecosystems
    Pernetta, John | Leemans, Rik | Elder, Danny | Humphrey, Sarah

This series presents the results of an investigation by IUCN’s Global Change Programme into the possible implications of predicted global change for natural systems and their management. This publication examines issues specific to terrestrial ecosystems.
Status and future of large marine ecosystems of the Indian Ocean : a report of the international symposium and workshop
    Okemwa, E. | Ntiba, M. J. | Sherman, Kenneth

This report signals a new approach to ocean monitoring and management that lays a solid base using the principles of ecology and sustainable development while transcending traditional geopolitical and disciplinary divisions. LMEs are relatively large regions, often including the territorial waters of more than one nation, thus making coordination of monitoring and management highly desirable.

A complete checklist of the birds of the world
    Howard, Richard | Moore, Alick

This book represents a complete revision of the authors' previous authoritative work. It incorporates all the significant changes to bird taxonomy that have occurred over the past six years and remains the only single-volume work to list subspecies. Ornithologists are constantly reviewing and revising the scientific and common names of the world's birds--combining and dividing established species and genera. Despite the fact that opinions will continue to vary on the details of avian classification, lists such as this provide a baseline reference to scientific and English names, taxonomy, and distribution for both the professional and amateur ornithologist and taxonomist.

Ramsar sites of India : Keoladeo National Park, Rajasthan
    Vijayan, Lalitha

A natural depression that was converted into a wetland and water fowl refuge in the 1700s by the then rulers of Bharatpur, Keoladeo National Park has established itself as one of the most famous bird sanctuaries in the world. But despite its elevated status and the protection afforded to it, the park has not been without its problems. This illustrated report is based on the findings of a ten-year ecology study of Keoladeo National Park undertaken by the Bombay Natural History Society between 1980 and 1990. Third to be published by the WWF-India under the Ramsar Sites of India Series, this publication describes the characteristics of the Keoladeo wetland ecosystem, its biological diversity, prevailing threats to the park, and present management options.
The international significance of the natural values of the Australian Alps
    Kirkpatrick, J. B. (James Barrie)

The present paper was commissioned by the Australian Alps Liaison Committee. They believed that a detailed and comprehensive assessment was needed to determine if the Australian Alps are qualified for international recognition, and, if so, to determine at what level and for what reasons. The author's aim is to assess the arguments for international natural significance of the MOU area and to document this significance in an integrated fashion suitable as a basis for World Heritage nomination.
