Livelihoods

This report provides an overview of existing data about the wetlands, including its ecology, biodiversity, socio-economic values, management and threats.

Cette étude examine les coûts de conservation et la valeur des avantages liés à la biodiversité pour la zone couverte par le projet QIT Madagascar Minerals (QMM) et ses alentours, mettant particulièrement l'accent sur le complexe forestier de Tsitongambarika (TGK).

Este estudio analiza los costos de la conservación y el valor de los beneficios asociados con la biodiversidad en y alrededor del área del proyecto QIT Madagascar Minerals (QMM), con especial atención al bosque Tsitongambarika (TGK). El objetivo es cuantificar y valorar los cambios en los servicios ambientales resultantes de las intervenciones que se apartan de lo acostumbrado en TGK, es decir, la deforestación y degradación ambiental, a favor de alguna forma de conservación forestal.

This study examines the costs of conservation and the value of benefits associated with biodiversity around the QIT Madagascar Minerals (QMM) project area, with a focus on the Tsitongambarika (TGK) forest complex. The aim is to quantify and value changes in ecosystem services resulting from interventions that deviate from 'business as usual' in TGK, i.e. projected continued deforestation and ecosystem degradation, in favour of some form of forest conservation.

Sustaining the World’s Large Marine Ecosystems (LMEs) provides examples of advances made in the operationalization of the five-module approach to ecosystem based management (EBM) for sustaining the goods and services of the world’s LMEs.

This study focuses on livestock production systems in Africa, as African livestock owners are thought to be among the most vulnerable populations on earth. Yet, livestock also has potential to strengthen resilience to climate change, as livestock production systems tend to be more resilient than crop based systems. This scoping study is a welcome addition to the climate change adaptation literature as it addresses a dimension frequently ignored in climate change adaptation studies.

Peam Krasop Wildlife Sanctuary (PKWS) is one of the most significant coastal wildlife sanctuaries in Cambodia because it maintains a sizeable area of both mangrove forest and evergreen forest, as well as a number of globally threatened species.

This report documents the modelled scenarios of local climate variability due to global climatic change, using the projected climate changes to modify the “no change”, 76-year long, monthly sub-catchment rainfall sequences, and average monthly evaporation values that serve as input to the hydrological catchment model that has been configured and calibrated for the Pangani Basin.

This study forms part of the Pangani River Basin Flow Assessment Initiative. The aims of the socio-economic baseline assessment were: to provide an overview of the basin and its economy, to provide a description of the livelihoods of people living in proximity to rivers in the basin, and to estimate the contribution that aquatic ecosystem resources make to people’s livelihoods.
