This publication presents the findings of one of six topics covered by the Tai Baan research in the Lower Songkhram River Basin. The research was conducted by 240 people from four villages in the area between May 2003 and April 2005, and demonstrates the depth of knowledge held by the local people.
Great uncertainty typically surrounds decisions and management actions in the conservation of biodiversity and natural resource management, and yet there are risks of serious and irreversible harm for both biodiversity and the humans that rely on it. The Precautionary Principle underlies all international conservation efforts and entails acting to avoid serious or irreversible environmental harm, despite lack of scientific certainty as to the likelihood, magnitude or cause of harm.
Dans le bleu profond de la mer, du Groenland aux îles polynésiennes, se cachent des paysages d'une beauté insoupçonnée, un monde mal connu qui occupe les trois quarts du globe. A travers des textes limpides et plus de 400 photographies exceptionnelles, les scientifiques Laurent Ballesta et Pierre Descamp nous font découvrir toute la magie des océans. Chaque page est une anecdote, une petite histoire qui nous familiarise avec les mystères de la biodiversité.
Transboundary conservation areas are environmentally endangered regions that sprawl across international borders and contain multiple protected areas. Recent studies estimate that there are now 188 transboundary conservation areas in 112 countries, making up about 17 percent of the designated protected areas around the world. This book specifically examines 28 of these areas, found across all continents, from Asia to Antarctica, and in several oceans.
Recent innovations in Sustainable Forest Management and Ecosystem Approaches are resulting in forests increasingly being managed as part of the broader social-ecological systems in which they exist. Forests in Landscapes reviews changes that have occurred in forest management in recent decades. Case studies from Europe, Canada, the United States, Russia, Australia, the Congo and Central America provide a wealth of international examples of innovative practices.
