Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A complex look at California Native ecological practices as a model for environmental sustainability and conservation. John Muir was an early proponent of a view we still hold today—that much of California was pristine, untouched wilderness before the arrival of Europeans. But as this groundbreaking book demonstrates, what Muir was really seeing when he admired the grand vistas of Yosemite and the gold and purple flowers carpeting the Central Valley were the fertile gardens of the Sierra Miwok and Valley Yokuts Indians, modified and made productive by centuries of harvesting, tilling, sowing, pruning, and burning. Marvelously detailed and beautifully written, Tending the Wild is an unparalleled examination of Native American knowledge and uses of California's natural resources that reshapes our understanding of native cultures and shows how we might begin to use their knowledge in our own conservation efforts. M. Kat Anderson presents a wealth of information on native land management practices gleaned in part from interviews and correspondence with Native Americans who recall what their grandparents told them about how and when areas were burned, which plants were eaten and which were used for basketry, and how plants were tended. The complex picture that emerges from this and other historical source material dispels the hunter-gatherer stereotype long perpetuated in anthropological and historical literature. We come to see California's indigenous people as active agents of environmental change and stewardship. Tending the Wild persuasively argues that this traditional ecological knowledge is essential if we are to successfully meet the challenge of living sustainably.
Download or read book Applied Methods for Agriculture and Natural Resource Management written by Siwa Msangi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2020-08-14 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book assesses recent developments in the analysis of agricultural policy and water resource management, and highlights the utility and theoretical rigor of quantitative methods for modeling agricultural production, market dynamics, and natural resource management. In diverse case studies of the intersection between agriculture, environmental quality and natural resource sustainability, the authors analyze economic behavior - both at aggregate as well as at individual agent-level - in order to highlight the practical implications for decision-markers dealing with environmental and agricultural policy. The volume also addresses the challenges of doing robust analysis with limited data, and discusses the appropriate empirical approaches that can be employed. The studies in this book were inspired by the work of Richard E. Howitt, Emeritus Professor of Agricultural Economics at the University of California at Davis, USA, whose career has focused on the application of robust empirical methods to address concrete policy problems.

Download or read book A Study of Natural Resource Management Practices of the California Department of Parks and Recreation DPR written by Kimberly A. Hayes and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis examines the unique and important role that the California Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) has in managing natural resources in the state of California. It evaluates DPR's performance through specific case studies of natural resource management in two DPR park units of their Santa Cruz district. It argues for a checks and balances system for the DPR's natural resource management practices. To evaulate DPR's natural resource management, I first explore the statewide organizational structure of DPR. The same data are studied for one district of DPR--the Santa Cruz district. Following this are two case studies which show how natural resource management is implemented in the Santa Cruz district. Analysis includes staff and budget allocations, DPR's natural resource management policies, directives, and regulations, and DPR's role as compared to other public agencies involoved in natural resource management and protection. After the analysis of DPR's procedures and operations I recommend improvements in natural resource management on DPR lands. These include improved standards for employee qualifications, continued education for all employees regarding resource management, implementation of resource projects which already have management plans, use of scientific methodology for project implementation and data collection, and greater funding and consistent attention to natural resources throughout DPR.

Download or read book Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Natural Resource Management written by Charles R. Menzies and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Natural Resource Management examines how traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) is taught and practiced today among Native communities. Of special interest is the complex relationship between indigenous ecological practices and other ways of interacting with the environment, particularly regional and national programs of natural resource management. Focusing primarily on the northwest coast of North America, scholars look at the challenges and opportunities confronting the local practice of indigenous ecological knowledge in a range of communities, including the Tsimshian, the Nisga’a, the Tlingit, the Gitksan, the Kwagult, the Sto:lo, and the northern Dene in the Yukon. The experts consider how traditional knowledge is taught and learned and address the cultural importance of different subsistence practices using natural elements such as seaweed (Gitga’a), pine mushrooms (Tsimshian), and salmon (Tlingit). Several contributors discuss the extent to which national and regional programs of resource management need to include models of TEK in their planning and execution. This volume highlights the different ways of seeing and engaging with the natural world and underscores the need to acknowledge and honor the ways that indigenous peoples have done so for generations.
