Download or read book The Andes written by Axel Borsdorf and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-03-12 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Andes are attracting global interest again: they hold valuable mineral resources, tourists appreciate their great natural beauty and the diversity of indigenous cultures, climbers scale rock and ice faces, while many others are intrigued by regional political developments, such as the Bolivarian revolution in Venezuela or the almost unfettered hegemony of the neoliberal economic model in Chile. This volume is the first attempt for decades to present a complete overview of the longest mountain chain on the planet – a region of remarkable climatic, floristic and geologic diversity, where advanced civilization developed well before the arrival of the Spanish. Today the Andes continue to be characterized by their ethnic, demographic, cultural and economic diversity, as well as by the disparity of local socioeconomic groups. The Andean countries pursue a wide range of approaches to tackle the challenges of making the best use of their natural and cultural potential without damaging their ecological basis, as well as to overcome economic disparity and foster social cohesion. This book provides insights into this unique region and its most pressing issues, complemented by a wealth of pictures and comprehensive diagrams, which, in sum, help to better understand these fascinating mountains.

Book excerpt: This book brings forth important issues in conservation of natural resources which has come to acquire a position of major concern in both developed and developing countries. However, it is a matter of particular significance for the latter, since majority of their population relies upon terrestrial ecosystems for livelihood. More than one billion people live in poverty, earning less than a dollar per day and more than 3.7 billion suffer from chronic hunger. Population increase, resource use conflicts, technological advancements, climate change, political doldrums, and unsustainable use and harvesting of resources have all put an increased burden on natural resources causing land degradation and poverty. To accomplish a win-win situation, we need to advance our mindset by considering alternative modes of thought through favoring integrated and holistic approaches in managing our natural resources. This book brings forth a range of sustainable strategies and approaches consisting of use of GIS and Remote Sensing technologies, decision support system models, involvement of stakeholders in primary decisions about consumption of natural resources, community level initiatives, and use of surveillance and monitoring mechanisms.
