Landscapes

Recent developments have seen forest landscape restoration (FLR) become widely recognized as an important means of not only restoring ecological integrity at scale but also generating additional local-to-global benefits. This handbook presents the Restoration Opportunities Assessment Methodology (ROAM), which provides a flexible and affordable framework for countries to rapidly identify and analyse FLR potential and locate special areas of opportunity at a national or sub-national level.

Atividades extrativas e práticas agrícolas insustentáveis afetam a bacia hidrográfica do Rio Doce e suas áreas costeiras e marinhas adjacentes há séculos. Quando a barragem de rejeitos de Fundão se rompeu em 5 de novembro de 2015, uma onda de lama desceu o rio até chegar ao mar, causando 19 mortes, destruindo vilas e vegetação ciliar, revolvendo os sedimentos do rio e prejudicando a vida de milhares de pessoas.

The Rio Doce watershed and its adjacent coastal and marine areas have been affected by centuries of extractive activities and unsustainable agricultural practices. When the Fundão tailings dam collapsed on 5 November 2015, a wave of mud swept down the river to the sea, causing 19 deaths, destroying villages, riparian vegetation, scraping off river sediments and disrupting the lives of thousands of people.

Les pages qui suivent ont pour origine l'esquisse d'un ouvrage que l'auteur comptait présenter au concours institué, en 1913, par l'Institut Royal Colonial d'Amsterdam, dont le programme stipulait une "Description succincte des Terres et Peuples de Sumatra".

O relatório traz informações e dados selecionados sobre a qualidade física, química e biológica da água e uma visão geral da biodiversidade terrestre, de água doce e marinha na bacia do Rio Doce desde o rompimento da barragem até o momento atual.

The report contextualises the current status of water quality and biodiversity in the Rio Doce watershed, providing selected data and information on the physical, chemical and biological quality of the water and an overview of the terrestrial, freshwater and marine biodiversity since the dam rupture.
