Download or read book Cultural and Spiritual Significance of Nature in Protected Areas written by Bas Verschuuren and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-08-15 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cultural and spiritual bonds with ‘nature’ are among the strongest motivators for nature conservation; yet they are seldom taken into account in the governance and management of protected and conserved areas. The starting point of this book is that to be sustainable, effective, and equitable, approaches to the management and governance of these areas need to engage with people’s deeply held cultural, spiritual, personal, and community values, alongside inspiring action to conserve biological, geological, and cultural diversity. Since protected area management and governance have traditionally been based on scientific research, a combination of science and spirituality can engage and empower a variety of stakeholders from different cultural and religious backgrounds. As evidenced in this volume, stakeholders range from indigenous peoples and local communities to those following mainstream religions and those representing the wider public. The authors argue that the scope of protected area management and governance needs to be extended to acknowledge the rights, responsibilities, obligations, and aspirations of stakeholder groups and to recognise the cultural and spiritual significance that ‘nature’ holds for people. The book also has direct practical applications. These follow the IUCN Best Practice Guidelines for protected and conserved area managers and present a wide range of case studies from around the world, including Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, and the Americas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Summary about this story: The Dinosaurs Renewable Energy Team went on an amazing journey not too far away to protect their beloved home, Dino Valley, from the harm that pollution and climate change could cause. Together, these amazing dinosaurs, each with their own special skills, came to protect the earth and get people all over the world to switch to renewable energy sources. Dino Valley was once a paradise with beautiful lakes and lots of plants, but it had started to fall apart. Less greenery, dirty rivers, and gray skies were all signs of a major environmental disaster. Dina the Diplodocus, who was good at making plans, got together with her friends Trixie the Triceratops, Rex the Tyrannosaurus Rex, and Stego the Stegosaurus to talk about the important matter. The Dinosaurs Renewable Energy Team (DRET) was made by all of them working together. Each person had a different job. Dina became the team's strategist because she had such a long neck. Trixie worked on getting rid of trash and pollution because she liked being outside. Stego used his special skills to get power from the sun, and Rex, who was the fastest dinosaur ever, worked to spread the word about renewable energy. The first hard thing they had to do on their journey was to convince other dinosaurs to use green energy. Rex's skill to persuade others was key to getting people to believe in him. Trixie was in charge of cleaning up the valley, which got better and better as she worked. Stego got closer to its goal through its ideas, which led to ways to use renewable energy. Dino Valley changed right in front of their eyes. The norm was for forests to be full of life, rivers to be clean, and clouds to be clear. The area switched to clean energy, which led to wind turbines, solar panels, and a mindset that cares about the environment. The DRET knew that they still had a lot of work to do, though. They spent all of their time teaching young dinosaurs how to protect the earth and use clean energy sources. By reaching out to the areas around them, they urged them to do the same. This led to the formation of an alliance for protecting the environment and using renewable energy. The result of their journey was a bridge that links Dino Valley to the towns around it. This bridge is a symbol of cooperation and unity. Even in the most remote places, the DRET made people feel hopeful and motivated to make positive changes. Their goal turned into a commitment to work for the rest of their lives to make the world healthier and better for everyone. As the sun went down over Dino Valley, the Dinosaurs Renewable Energy Team took a moment to think about what an amazing trip it had been. Their story was told by dinosaurs all over the world, and it changed more than just one valley. They had shown that when dinosaurs worked together toward a common goal, they could do amazing things for themselves and for people in the future. The story begins: In a place not too far from here, there used to be a group of dinosaurs that were different from any other dinosaurs you've heard of. The goal of the Dinosaurs Renewable Energy Team was to keep pollution and global warming from hurting Dino Valley, which they loved very much. Dino Valley was a green, lush place with flower-filled fields, tall trees that reached for the sky, and rivers that wound their way through the land. Dinosaurs had been living well in Dino Valley for many generations, enjoying the richness and beauty of their home. But one day, as the sun went down and long shadows spread across the valley, the dinosaurs noticed something strange. A thick layer of smog was making the clouds, which had been blue, slowly turn gray. The rivers used to be full of life, but now the water was dirty and moving slowly. The once-majestic trees' leaves were getting dry and brown. Dina the Diplodocus, the wise and kind giant whose neck touched the tops of the trees, was the first to say she was worried. As she looked across the valley, her heart sank. Dina craned her neck to get a better look. "Our home is in grave danger," she told herself. "We can't let this go on." She called together her friends Trixie the Triceratops, Rex the Tyrannosaurus Rex, and Stego the Stegosaurus under the shade of the big oak tree. Dina said, "We have to do something," and her kind eyes shone with determination. "There has to be a way to save our valley, which is in trouble." Trixie gave a strong nod. She had three strong horns and a strong sense of duty. "I've noticed that the forests are dying, and the rivers are becoming dirtier," she said. Rex was always up for an adventure. He was the fastest dinosaur in the valley. "We can't let this go on. We have to find a way to clean up Dino Valley." "I can also spread the word," he said. Stego, who is known for his protected back and creativity, said, "I'll use my speed to find out what's going on and tell everyone about it. I can also work on finding a way to power our valley without hurting it. We need energy, but it has to be clean." Once their jobs were clear, the Dinosaurs Renewable Energy Team (DRET) was made. They went on a quest that would test how much they cared and how well they could work together. The first thing they had to do was persuade their fellow dinosaurs that change was not only necessary, but also very important. A lot of the people they knew stuck to their old ways and didn't want to change, even though they were hurting themselves by doing so. Rex took it upon himself to talk to the other dinosaurs about the DRET to find out as much as he could about it. He moved quickly through the valley, talking to different kinds of dinosaurs along the way. He told them about the dangers of pollution, the effects of climate change, and how important their work was. Rex's convincing words slowly won over the dinosaurs, and they started to feel a little bit of hope. In the meantime, Trixie started cleaning up their favorite valley. Her friendly groups of dinosaurs were ready to help. Together, they looked in rivers and forests for trash and cleaned up pollution. Trixie taught them how to recycle and make less trash, and little by little, the valley started to get back some of its beauty that had been lost. Stego, the dinosaur who could use the sun's energy in a special way, spent his whole life looking for renewable energy sources. He put up solar panels on the hillsides to use the sun's energy to make power. He built beautiful wind turbines in public places to use the wind's power to make even more clean energy. Dino Valley slowly switched to cleaner, more renewable energy sources because of Stego's ideas and persistence. Everyone could see that the valley was changing as the days turned into weeks and weeks into months. The rivers started to shine again, the skies cleared up, and the plants and trees that had been dying back started to grow again. The dinosaurs were excited to use green energy in their homes and daily lives. They were amazed by the great changes that had happened. Dina was happy to see how hard her team had worked. On a sunny morning, she said, "We did it!" with happiness in her eyes. Even though they said, "We've saved Dino Valley," the DRET thought they still had a lot of work to do. They had to protect their house from more damage and move forward with green energy. They started a program to teach young dinosaurs about how to protect the earth and how important renewable energy sources are. Their words went beyond the borders of Dino Valley. The Dinosaurs Renewable Energy Team went to nearby areas and regions to tell people about their success and get them to try to do the same. Their actions had a big impact that changed things even in the farthest corners of the dinosaur world. Dina, Trixie, Rex, and Stego stood on a hill and looked out over the now-thriving Dino Valley. They all nodded in agreement as they thought, "We may be a small part of this big world, but when we work together for a common goal, we can do amazing things." They kept working hard because they knew that by using renewable energy sources and protecting the environment, they would be ensuring a bright future for not just themselves, but for everyone.

Download or read book Protected Area Management written by Barbara Sladonja and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2012-08-08 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Protected areas are at the base of the most national and international conservation strategies. Due to the many unpredictable elements in ecology matters, each protected area requires a case-specific set of guidelines but a common issue is how to cope with human interaction. The management of protected areas is replete with challenges and the only way to gain understanding and achieve greater management possibilities is to exchange experiences and knowledge. Environmental managers are aware of that and together with scientists are looking for more modern and better solutions, both with respect to natural resources and human interactions in many issues regarding nature protection. This publication presents reviews and research results on protected areas management, as well as 12 case studies derived from around the world with the aim of improving management effectiveness of the protected areas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: usually called the classical (scientific) attitude (according to which there is a dichotomy between nature and cognition) and suggestions for better understanding of their mutual encroach ment. The authors belong more or less to the non-standard systems science, the third order cybernetics, or find themselves already beyond the third stage in the history of artificial intelli 1 gence ). They take the inescapability of the mutual implication of the description of nature and that of cognition seriously. Fourth ly, closely linking up with the previous, it emphatically calls attention to the forgotten microscopic dimension of science. If I am not mistaken we have at this moment reached the historic stage where the tremendous renascence of the mechanistic-structural paradigm, remarkably enough, calls for its functional-dynamic counterparts. The volume strives to respond to this secret trend in various disciplines and to put into words that which is tacitly alive in the minds of the ever increasing number of people in this systemsage. The investigation on the intertwinement of nature and cognition finds itself in this very paradoxical niche structured by those two opposite developments.

Download or read book Fractals In Natural Science written by M Matsushita and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1994-10-26 with total page 658 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last couple of years, fractals have been shown to represent the common aspects of many complex processes occurring in an unusually diverse range of fields including biology, chemistry, earth sciences, physics and technology. Using fractal geometry as a language, it has become possible to get a deeper insight into previously intractable problems. Among many others, a better understanding of growth phenomena, turbulence, iteractive functions, colloidal aggregation, biological pattern formation and inhomogenous materials has emerged through the application of such concepts as scale invariance, self-affinity and multifractality.This volume contains a selection of high quality papers that discuss the latest developments in the research of fractals. It is divided into 5 sections and contains altogether 64 papers. Each paper is written by a well known author or authors in the field. Beginning each section is a short introduction, written by a prominent author, which gives a brief overview of the topics discussed in the respective sections.
