This book was released on 2017 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cette thèse propose un nouvel éclairage sur le rôle grandissant des Premières Nations dans l'aménagement durable des forêts. À travers une approche qualitative et longitudinale, cette thèse se penche sur l'évolution de la collaboration dans le cadre de la planification forestière à partir de l'exemple des Nehirowisiwok (Atikamekw) et du secteur forestier québécois, de 1990 à 2013. Elle vise à mieux comprendre les facteurs et les conditions qui ont influencé l'évolution d'une gouvernance forestière plus collaborative. Cette thèse poursuit également comme sous-objectif l'identification et la caractérisation des interrelations entre les processus de collaboration à l'étude et d'autres processus afin de déterminer dans quelle mesure ces interrelations ont influencé leur développement dans le temps et l'espace ainsi que les efforts de collaboration. Au cours de la période à l'étude, les Nehirowisiwok se sont engagés dans une myriade de démarches et d'initiatives reliées à la planification forestière. Cette thèse fournit une analyse approfondie de trois processus s'étant déroulés à différents moments de la période à l'étude en examinant les dimensions clés de chaque processus. Les résultats montrent que les efforts de collaboration ont grandement été influencés par un contexte évolutif. On retrouve notamment la révision du régime forestier à la fin des années 1990, les jugements Haïda et Taku River en 2004 ainsi que l'adoption d'un nouveau régime forestier. Il a aussi été remarqué que les dimensions du processus de collaboration étaient interreliées. Par conséquent, lorsqu'une dimension du processus changeait cela pouvait entraîner un « effet domino » sur d'autres aspects du processus. Enfin, bien que la plupart des précédents auteurs s'entendent de plus en plus pour dire que la collaboration est un processus dynamique dans le temps, les résultats confirment que la collaboration évolue, mais en partie. Cette thèse met aussi en lumière l'interaction entre les effets et les conditions de la collaboration dans le contexte de la planification forestière. En effet, sans les apprentissages qui découlent des collaborations antérieures, la collaboration a tendance à livrer des résultats plutôt insatisfaisants. Cela arrive surtout lorsque les acteurs n'ont pas une histoire antérieure de collaboration. Donc, pour avoir des retombées immédiates satisfaisantes pour l'ensemble des parties concernées, les acteurs ont dû développer de nouvelles habiletés, apprendre le vocabulaire forestier, se familiariser avec les préoccupations de l'Autre, raffiner et développer de nouveaux outils et instruments, mais surtout, bâtir une nouvelle démarche commune envers laquelle ils ont confiance. En somme, les acteurs ne collaborent pas du jour au lendemain; ils doivent d'abord apprendre à collaborer avant de pouvoir collaborer efficacement. Les résultats ont aussi permis de développer une classification empirique des liens observables entre les processus de collaboration. Cinq grands ensembles de liens ont été observés : descendance, dédoublement, opposition, complémentarité et influence. Ces différents liens montrent que les processus de collaboration n'évoluent pas en vase clos et qu'ils peuvent avoir des effets significatifs sur leur environnement et les autres processus. Plus encore, ils illustrent que les processus de collaboration ne viennent pas seulement s'ajouter, compléter ou remplacer les processus existants tel que la littérature est souvent portée à les dépeindre. Enfin, à partir des conclusions de cette étude, de nouvelles questions se posent. Est-ce que la collaboration avec les Nehirowisiwok dans le cadre de la planification forestière a évolué de la même façon avec les Premières Nations présentes dans les autres régions du Québec? Quels seraient les facteurs et les conditions qui expliqueraient les différences et les similarités observables? Il serait aussi intéressant d'examiner comment la collaboration a évolué dans les autres domaines de la gouvernance forestière telle que l'octroi des permis de coupe (garanties d'approvisionnement), l'élaboration des politiques forestières, l'affectation du territoire, détermination des rôles et responsabilités en matière de gestion des feux de forêt et ainsi de suite. Enfin, il semble plus que jamais pertinent d'examiner comment et quand il demeure possible d'articuler la collaboration à d'autres mécanismes de gouvernance afin de pouvoir profiter pleinement de son potentiel en matière de gestion durable et équitable du Nitaskinan.
Download or read book The Mediterranean region under climate change written by Collectif and published by IRD Éditions. This book was released on 2018-11-19 with total page 736 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has been published by Allenvi (French National Alliance for Environmental Research) to coincide with the 22nd Conference of Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP22) in Marrakesh. It is the outcome of work by academic researchers on both sides of the Mediterranean and provides a remarkable scientific review of the mechanisms of climate change and its impacts on the environment, the economy, health and Mediterranean societies. It will also be valuable in developing responses that draw on “scientific evidence” to address the issues of adaptation, resource conservation, solutions and risk prevention. Reflecting the full complexity of the Mediterranean environment, the book is a major scientific contribution to the climate issue, where various scientific considerations converge to break down the boundaries between disciplines.
Download or read book Forests for People written by Anne M Larson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-09-10 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who has rights to forests and forest resources? In recent years governments in the South have transferred at least 200 million hectares of forests to communities living in and around them . This book assesses the experience of what appears to be a new international trend that has substantially increased the share of the world's forests under community administration. Based on research in over 30 communities in selected countries in Asia (India, Nepal, Philippines, Laos, Indonesia), Africa (Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Ghana) and Latin America (Bolivia, Brazil, Guatemala, Nicaragua), it examines the process and outcomes of granting new rights, assessing a variety of governance issues in implementation, access to forest products and markets and outcomes for people and forests . Forest tenure reforms have been highly varied, ranging from the titling of indigenous territories to the granting of small land areas for forest regeneration or the right to a share in timber revenues. While in many cases these rights have been significant, new statutory rights do not automatically result in rights in practice, and a variety of institutional weaknesses and policy distortions have limited the impacts of change. Through the comparison of selected cases, the chapters explore the nature of forest reform, the extent and meaning of rights transferred or recognized, and the role of authority and citizens' networks in forest governance. They also assess opportunities and obstacles associated with government regulations and markets for forest products and the effects across the cases on livelihoods, forest condition and equity.

Download or read book Politics of Forests written by Jakob Donner-Amnell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing together case studies from Canada, the Nordic countries and Russia, this book is the first to provide a comparative examination of the current transformations in the forest industry regimes and the challenges they make for the communities dependent on this industry. Questioning how globalization has influenced forest regimes, the book focuses on individual forest companies and argues that they are the main motors of the industry's internationalization, often without taking due consideration of the complex interrelations between society, the environment and forest trade. During the current phase of globalization, the sphere of material production within the forest industry has increasingly been modified by more speculative signals from the market. Both the growing role of investor interests, as well as the broader societal demands for 'greening' the production chain, have forced managers to be more sensitive to the performance profile and image of their companies. In conclusion, the book highlights instances of processes working towards homogenization and diversity, and suggests that while Anglo-American management practice is increasingly important across the northern forest regions, it is also meeting with resistance due to historical and political conditions.

Download or read book Bats in Forests written by Michael J. Lacki and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2007-05-11 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although bats are often thought of as cave dwellers, many species depend on forests for all or part of the year. Of the 45 species of bats in North America, more than half depend on forests, using the bark of trees, tree cavities, or canopy foliage as roosting sites. Over the past two decades it has become increasingly clear that bat conservation and management are strongly linked to the health of forests within their range. Initially driven by concern for endangered species—the Indiana bat, for example—forest ecologists, timber managers, government agencies, and conservation organizations have been altering management plans and silvicultural practices to better accommodate bat species. Bats in Forests presents the work of a variety of experts who address many aspects of the ecology and conservation of bats. The chapter authors describe bat behavior, including the selection of roosts, foraging patterns, and seasonal migration as they relate to forests. They also discuss forest management and its influence on bat habitat. Both public lands and privately owned forests are considered, as well as techniques for monitoring bat populations and activity. The important role bats play in the ecology of forests—from control of insects to nutrient recycling—is revealed by a number of authors. Bat ecologists, bat conservationists, forest ecologists, and forest managers will find in this book an indispensable synthesis of the topics that concern them.

Download or read book Aboriginal Autonomy and Development in Northern Quebec and Labrador written by Colin Scott and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Canadian North is witness to some of the most innovative efforts by Aboriginal peoples to reshape their relations with "mainstream" political and economic structures. Northern Quebec and Labrador are particularly dynamic examples of these efforts, composed of First Nations territories that until the 1970s had never been subject to treaty but are subject to escalating industrial demands for natural resources. The essays in this volume illuminate key conditions for autonomy and development: the definition and redefinition of national territories as cultural orders clash and mix; control of resource bases upon which northern economies depend; and renewal and reworking of cultural identity.
Download or read book Implementing the Nagoya Protocol written by Brendan Coolsaet and published by Hotei Publishing. This book was released on 2015-04-21 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The adoption of the Nagoya Protocol on Access and Benefit-sharing to the Convention on Biological Diversity in 2010 is a major landmark for the global governance of genetic resources and traditional knowledge. The way in which it will be translated into practice will however depend on the concrete implementation in national country legislation across the world. Implementing the Nagoya Protocol compares existing ABS regimes in ten European countries, including one non-EU member and one EU candidate country, and critically explores several cross-cutting issues related to the implementation of the Nagoya Protocol in the EU. Gathering some of the most professional and widely acclaimed experts in ABS issues, this book takes a major step towards filling a gap in the vast body of literature on national and regional implementation of global commitments regarding ABS and traditional knowledge.

Download or read book Political Theory and the Rights of Indigenous Peoples written by Duncan Ivison and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2000-10-12 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 2001 book focuses on the problem of justice for indigenous peoples and the ways in which this poses key questions for political theory: the nature of sovereignty, the grounds of national identity and the limits of democratic theory. It includes chapters by leading political theorists and indigenous scholars from Australia, Aotearoa/New Zealand, Canada and the United States. One of the strengths of this book is the manner in which it shows how the different historical circumstances of colonization in these countries nevertheless raise common problems and questions for political theory. It examines ways in which political theory has contributed to the past subjugation and continuing disadvantage faced by indigenous peoples, while also seeking to identify resources in contemporary political thought that can assist the 'decolonisation' of relations between indigenous and non-indigenous peoples.
Download or read book In Search of the State written by Gabriella Körling and published by Uppsala Universitet. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Du site de l'éditeur: The study explores public health and education provision in Niamey, the capital of Niger, by merging the ethnographic study of public services with an anthropological analysis of the state and of local politics. Based on anthropological fieldwork carried out in a group of neighbourhoods in the periphery of Niamey, the study highlights the political dimensions of public service provision in a local arena where international development interventions and national plans meet local realities and where a wide range of actors and institutions, discourses, meanings, and practices are mobilized in the offering of and the regulation of access to public services. It focuses on the political, economic, and socio-cultural aspects of public service provision, too often hidden behind contemporary buzzwords of development such as community participation and decentralization that dominate global debates about education and healthcare in developing countries. The study brings forth the strategies of urban residents in dealing with daily challenges in the consolidation of service provision and in education and health-seeking trajectories. It shows that access to a satisfactory treatment of illness or a successful school career is premised on the ability to navigate on the medical and education markets, which are made up of a plurality of providers and of official and unofficial costs and transactions. Further, these public services engage different actors such as community committees, traditional chiefs, local associations, the municipality and elected municipal councillors, emergent leaders, NGOs, and international development aid. The study demonstrates that despite the uncertainty of state support in health and education provision and a widespread dissatisfaction with these public services, the image of the state as service provider is reproduced on a day by day basis through local efforts at securing public services.
