Download or read book The Law of the Mother written by Elizabeth Kemf and published by Random House (NY). This book was released on 1993 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Even well-intended attempts to protect nature sometimes have unforeseen dire consequences: a resurgent elephant population in Zimbabwe destroys the crops that comprise local farmers' livelihood, or the Shimshali people of northern Pakistan are denied access to their traditional grazing grounds in a new national park. If environmental efforts are to be beneficial, they must also take into account the needs, ancestral claims, and unique stewardship skills of the indigenous peoples who have, in many instances, lived sustainably on the land for millennia." "In nearly three dozen thoughtful, vividly written accounts, The Law of the Mother offers a comprehensive vision of how to design and implement conservation projects to provide for the well-being of local peoples, wildlife, and the land itself. Written by scientists, environmentalists, and representatives of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) working on every continent, the essays in this collection also note areas of continuing conflict, such as issues of ownership, and identify potential flashpoints of tension between local peoples and the "outsiders" who are often behind the efforts to create protected areas. Most importantly, the authors describe how "creative communities" are seeking and experimenting with innovative solutions to the political, ecological, and human challenges that protected area managers must overcome." "From the Bisnoi people of Rajasthan, India, whose strict conservation code does not permit them to cut trees or kill animals, to the Kuna Indians of Panama's San Blas Islands, whose ancient customs led them to create "natural zone" preserves, the indigenous peoples of the world have long understood the paramount importance of caring for nature rather than over-exploiting it. Compiled by WWF-World Wildlife Fund in collaboration with IUCN-The World Conservation Union, The Law of the Mother is a testimonial to these endangered peoples and their equally endangered native wisdom, offered in the hope that we may remember what they have not forgotten - that our planet is a sacred place."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book With the Salween Peace Park We Can Survive as a Nation written by Andrew Leonard Paul and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global conservation has a history of displacing Indigenous peoples from their traditional territories, which contain many of the world's most intact and biologically-rich ecosystems. However, this has the potential to change with growing international recognition of Indigenous and Community Conserved Areas and Territories (ICCAs) as a protected area category. Indigenous peoples are declaring protected areas to conserve biodiversity, defend their traditional territories, and resist dispossession. This thesis critically examines the mobilization of Indigenous environmental relations and conservation politics to protect the land in the Salween Peace Park, a 5,485-square kilometre conservation initiative in the autonomous Karen territory of Kawthoolei, otherwise known as Karen State, Burma. I argue that paying attention to spiritual-environmental relations is essential in order to understand Indigenous environmental governance, and that conservation projects offer unique opportunities for Indigenous peoples to mobilize these environmental relations, engage in symbolic politics, and mount a sovereign refusal of state domination.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With climate change now a certainty, the question is how much change there will be and what can be done about it. One of the answers is through adaptation. Many of the lessons that are being learned in adaptation are from success stories from the field. This publication contains eleven case studies covering different ecosystems and regions around the world. Its aim is to summarize some current applications of the Ecosystem-Based Adaptation concept and its tools used around the world, and also draw lessons from experiences in conservation adaptation.

Download or read book The Planting Design Handbook written by Nick Robinson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-09-10 with total page 750 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the first edition was published in 1992, Nick Robinson's The Planting Design Handbook has been widely used as a definitive text on landscape architecture courses throughout the world. It remains one of the few titles written by a practicing landscape architect and educator who is also a horticulturalist and accomplished plantsman, and which deals with the application of planting design on a large scale in landscape architecture and urban design projects. The Planting Design Handbook is distinctive for its elegant integration of an ecological approach with an understanding of visual and spatial composition. It emphasizes the role of vegetation layers and designed plant communities in complex and diverse plant assemblages for all kinds of sites and uses. This expanded and comprehensively updated third edition still provides a complete examination of principles and practice of design for public, institutional and private landscapes. It takes account of developments in theory and practice, especially in the use of perennials, and reflects a variety of media and approaches current in landscape architecture and design. All chapters have been revised and re-written to ensure updated references and new references have been added. Many new photographs of planting and projects around the world have been included, with examples of current professional drawings to illustrate the design process. It is generously illustrated, including a colour section and the beautifully detailed line drawings of the Chinese architect and painter Jia-Hua Wu.
