Download or read book La biodiversit percorsi naturalistici e didattici written by Adriano Sofo and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013-12-03 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Per secoli l'umanità è stata afflitta da una visione antropocentrica di se stessa che l'ha condotta a considerarsi signora e padrona assoluta del mondo e della natura. In virtù di questa opinione tutto il creato, la terra, i fiumi, i monti, lo sterminato universo della flora e della fauna, nonché quello dei paesaggi e degli ambienti, quella che con termine scientifico all'interno di questo studio viene definita biodiversità, sono stati considerati al servizio esclusivo dell'uomo, del suo benessere e del suo progresso, quasi fossero dei servitori nati con l'unico scopo di obbedire ai desideri umani.
Download or read book Citizen Science written by Susanne Hecker and published by UCL Press. This book was released on 2018-10-15 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Citizen science, the active participation of the public in scientific research projects, is a rapidly expanding field in open science and open innovation. It provides an integrated model of public knowledge production and engagement with science. As a growing worldwide phenomenon, it is invigorated by evolving new technologies that connect people easily and effectively with the scientific community. Catalysed by citizens’ wishes to be actively involved in scientific processes, as a result of recent societal trends, it also offers contributions to the rise in tertiary education. In addition, citizen science provides a valuable tool for citizens to play a more active role in sustainable development. This book identifies and explains the role of citizen science within innovation in science and society, and as a vibrant and productive science-policy interface. The scope of this volume is global, geared towards identifying solutions and lessons to be applied across science, practice and policy. The chapters consider the role of citizen science in the context of the wider agenda of open science and open innovation, and discuss progress towards responsible research and innovation, two of the most critical aspects of science today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers distribution maps of over 2200 individual species living in the Dolomite area, presenting detailed records on the local range of every species growing in the area studied, from the Puster Valley to the Piave River. The data was collected on the basis of a multiple field observations carried out over several decades. After dividing the area into approx. 200 quadrants, a nearly complete census of the species present was obtained for each quadrant. The evaluation and synopsis of this extensive set of data, which is presented in the form of a chorological atlas in keeping with international standard methods, allows the area to be accurately compared with other parts of the Alps. In addition to the chorological atlas and floristic inventory, a list of synonyms and toponyms of the three languages used in the analyzed territory, an expanded list of updated scientific names, and some helpful remarks on various Dolomites species are included. Lastly, the book explores how species can be considered as landscape bioindicators. This third volume of the work Plant Life of the Dolomites complements the main volume Vegetation Structure and Ecology and the volume Vegetation Tables, which presents essential data at the plant association level.

Download or read book Tutela della biodiversit locale come risposta ai problemi globali written by Adriano Sofo and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013-11-20 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'idea di trattare un argomento così vasto, come la biodiversità, mi è venuta in mente proprio pensando al piccolo paese dove vivo. Conoscere meglio ciò che ci è vicino è più facile sotto molti aspetti, pensare sempre al globale può fuorviare le menti e illuderle che qualcosa di concreto possa avvenire. Spesso riteniamo che le nostre azioni quotidiane non possano ricadere sull'ambiente e sulle ideologie che guidano la nostra società. Invece è dalle singole azioni di ognuno che si è costruita questa società che ora inizia a vacillare. Si ha la sicurezza che i Paesi sviluppati ormai godano di benessere e che non possano essere toccati dall'insufficienza alimentare e invece non è così. Se l'uomo continua senza sosta a sfruttare le risorse incidendo sugli equilibri naturali, l'umanità non avrà probabilmente scampo.
Download or read book Taccuino sul paesaggio rurale Le colline del vino written by Laurana Lajolo and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-08-22 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le colline di Langa e Monferrato e Roero, emerse dal mare preistorico, sono fin dall'antichità coltivate a vigneto dalla mano paziente dei contadini, che hanno creato un'opera d'arte collettiva plasmando un paesaggio armonico, unico e irripetibile, riconosciuto nel 2014 dall'Unesco patrimonio culturale dell'umanità (50mo sito italiano inserito nella World Heritage List). Questo taccuino ripercorre la storia geologica e quella agraria del territorio, mettendo a confronto la visione contadina tradizionale della piccola proprietà con le ultime trasformazioni socio-economiche, dovute alla modernizzazione dell'azienda agricola e all'innovazione tecnologica. Viene anche ricordato il portato immaginifico degli scrittori del Novecento, che hanno reso quelle colline luoghi letterari di rara suggestione.

Download or read book Chemical agriculture and pollinators signs of a Planet in danger written by Giuseppe Zicari and published by Youcanprint. This book was released on 2023-02-24 with total page 687 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bees, that have inhabited the Planet for over 100 million years, are the common thread that tells the story of various ecological challenges such as the reduction of biodiversity, climate change, soil degradation, and energy transition. Paradoxically, agriculture is one of the major causes of irreversible and, therefore, unsustainable changes such as global warming and the extinction of pollinators from which it derives its benefits and wealth. The massive use of fossil fuels, the distribution of poisons such as pesticides (persistent, toxic, and bioaccumulative), the loss of fertility in monocultures of plants selected to satisfy economic needs, are some of the main causes of an ecologically unsustainable food production system. The book tries to show a different vision of the World we are building, a story of backstories and underestimated dangers. This book received two prizes: "Steli di Pace" (Stems of Peace) by the Union of European Journalists and Communicators in 2023 and it was the winner of the "Concorso Nazionale per la divulgazione scientifica Kerit-LC Edizioni" (National Competition for science dissemination) in 2024.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le fattorie didattiche stanno dando una risposta a esigenze sociali ed educative: si fondano sul bisogno di agricoltura della nostra società. Uno degli scopi essenziali di questo testo consiste nell'analizzare i numerosi studi e ricerche che hanno affermato ormai da molto tempo e ribadiscono sempre più l'importanza, per l'uomo e in particolare per il bambino, dell'instaurare un rapporto precoce e corretto con la natura, gli animali, il mondo rurale e tutto quello che ne consegue. Un altro scopo è quello di approfondire la conoscenza in merito alle fattorie didattiche; capire il perché del successo che stanno riscuotendo in termini educativi e formativi fino a divenire vere e proprie agenzie educative, aule all'aperto: luoghi di incontro tra agricoltori, ragazzi, insegnanti e adulti. Infine, sono descritti alcuni percorsi didattici, giochi e laboratori da svolgere in fattoria con bambini e ragazzi di ogni grado scolastico.
