This book was released on 1994 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph takes off from a definition of environmental problems not only in terms of the degradation of specific resources but also of their habitats. Guided by a framework developed to offset some of the limitations inherent in the neo-classical economic definition of the nature, causes, and solutions of Philippine environmental problems, it discusses the factors which facilitated the degradation of ecological zones in the Philippines. The monograph ends with recommendations on policy directions in the immediate and medium-term period.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to address the most significant issues of natural resource management in the Philippines. The natural resources of concern in this study include principally vegetation, notably forests and their watershed functions; soils, together with their nutrient stocks; water supplies, used for irrigated agriculture, hydropower, and industrial and household needs; and fisheries, both marine and inland. The issues addressed concern the extent and rate of degradation of these resource stocks, the impact thereof on the natural economy, and the scope for ameliorative measures through policy responses and management changes. The initial sections of the report deal with the status of the natural resource base and the process leading to its degradation, including the fundamental causes. Subsequent sections evaluate the public and private institutions involved in resource management; and apply a largely economic perspective in reviewing the social costs of degradation, critiquing alternative interventions, and examining the impacts of the economic environment. The final section outlines a comprehensive strategy for improving natural resource management combining institutional and policy reforms with programs of extension and public investment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Philippines has been a pioneer in granting communities greater involvement in managing natural resources, including forests, coastal resources, and irrigation water. Community-based natural resource management (CBNRM) has seemed the answer to improving both equity and sustainability, yet progress has been mixed. This book presents a collection of papers from a large review of Philippine CBNRM. As this study makes clear, CBNRM remains the nation's best hope for sustainability; it is thus important to identify ways to improve outcomes, both for natural resources and for local resource-dependent peoples.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an outcome of a research project on "Sustainable Forestry and the Environment in Developing Countries". The project has been run by Metsantutki muslaitos METLA -the Finnish Forest Research Institute since 1987 and will be completed this year. A major output by this project has so far been a report in three volumes on "Deforestation or development in the Third World?" The purpose of our multidisciplinary research project is to generate new knowl edge about the causes of deforestation, its scenarios and consequences. More knowledge is needed for more effective, efficient and equitable public policy, both at the national and intemationallevels in supporting sustainable forestry in develop ing countries. Our project has specifically focused on 90 tropical countries as one group and on three subgroups by continents, as well as the three case study countries, the Philippines, Ethiopia and Chile. The University of Joensuu has been our active partner in the Philippine study. We have complemented the three cases by the analyzes of Brazil and Indonesia, the two largest tropical forest-owning countries. Some other interesting country studies were annexed to complement our book both by geography and expertise. The United Nations University, World Institute for Development Economics Research, UNUIWIDER in Helsinki Finland has also been partly engaged. Most of the results from its project on "The Forest in the South and North in Context of Global Warming" will, however, be published later in a separate book.

This book was released on 1993-02-01 with total page 721 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rainforests are rapidly being cleared in the humid tropics to keep pace with food demands, economic needs, and population growth. Without proper management, these forests and other natural resources will be seriously depleted within the next 50 years. Sustainable Agriculture and the Environment in the Humid Tropics provides critically needed direction for developing strategies that both mitigate land degradation, deforestation, and biological resource losses and help the economic status of tropical countries through promotion of sustainable agricultural practices. The book includes: A practical discussion of 12 major land use options for boosting food production and enhancing local economies while protecting the natural resource base. Recommendations for developing technologies needed for sustainable agriculture. A strategy for changing policies that discourage conserving and managing natural resources and biodiversity. Detailed reports on agriculture and deforestation in seven tropical countries.

Book excerpt: Fishing for Fairness develops an explicitly cultural perspective on environmental politics in the Philippines by analysing the responses of fishers to marine resource regulations. In the resource frontier of the Calamianes Islands, fishing, conservation and tourism provide the context where competing visions of how to engage with marine resources are played out. The book draws on data from ethnographic fieldwork with fishers, government and NGO officials, fish traders and tourism operators to show how the strategic responses of fishers to management initiatives are couched within particular cultural idioms. Tapping into broader notions of morality in the Philippines, fishers express a discourse that emphasises their poverty and the obligations of the wealthy to treat them with fairness. By deploying this discourse, fishers are able to reframe what are--on the surface--questions of environmental management into issues about poverty within particular social relationships. By using a cultural political ecology framework to analyse fishers' responses to regulation, the book emphasises the distinctive ways in which marginalised people in the Philippines resist and reframe resource management initiatives. Fishing for Fairness will appeal to both academics and policy makers interested in marine resource management, political ecology, anthropology and development studies particularly throughout the Asia-Pacific.
