Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parks are important economic vehicles, generating billions of dollars worldwide in tourism revenue. However, the reasons for that visitation are found in the non-material, non-economic values that parks offer to people: values that are cultural, therapeutic, scientific, spiritual, recreational, educational, and aesthetic/artistic. The Full Value of Parks is the first comprehensive analysis of these important, but intangible, values.

Download or read book CITES as a Tool for Sustainable Development written by Marie-Claire Cordonier Segger and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2023-07-31 with total page 575 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saving endangered species presents a critical and increasingly pressing challenge for conservation and sustainability movements, and is also matter of survival and livelihoods for the world's poorest and vulnerable communities. In 1973, a global Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) was adopted to stem the extinction of many species. In 2015, as part of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 15) the United Nations called for urgent action to protect endangered species and their natural habitats. This volume focuses on the legal implementation of CITES to achieve the global SDGs. Activating interdisciplinary analysis and case studies across jurisdictions, the contributors analyse the potential for CITES to promote more sustainable development, proposing international and national regulatory innovations for implementing CITES. They consider recent innovations and key intervention points along flora and fauna value chains, advancing coherent recommendations to strengthen CITES implementation, including through the regulation of trade in endangered species globally and locally.

Download or read book The Omo Turkana Basin written by Jonathan Lautze and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-19 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive examination of water resource management in the Omo-Turkana Basin, linking together biophysical, socioeconomic, policy, institutional and governance issues in a solutions-oriented manner. The Omo-Turkana Basin is one of the most important lake basins in Africa, and despite the likely transboundary impacts associated with the management of dams, it is the largest lake basin in Africa without a cooperative water agreement. This volume provides a foundation for integrated decision-making in the management of development in the Lake Turkana Basin. Chapters cover water-related conditions, hydropower, agriculture, ecosystems, resilience and transboundary governance. The final chapter proposes ways forward in light of the potential benefits that can be achieved through cooperation, and practical realities that cooperation is slow and may take time to achieve. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of water and natural resource management, environmental policy, sustainable development and African studies. It will also be relevant to water management professionals.

Book excerpt: The Tanjung Puting National Park and Biosphere Reserve (TPNP-BR) is a natural wonder that lies on the promontory of the southern coast of Kalimantan, within the administrative province of Kalimantan Tengah (Central Kalimantan). The park covers a total area of 300 040 hectares. It was declared as a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO's Man and the Biosphere Programme in 1981 and as a National Park in 1982. It encompasses a large spectrum of ecosystems including several distinct forest formation such as swamp forests and tropical lowland rain forests. It is also a home for species of fauna including over 220 known species of birds with 5 endemic to Borneo, 9 species of primates with 1 great ape, the orang-utan, and 2 endemic species ; 28 species of large mammals, and a wide range of reptiles, amphibians and fish. Since 1980, it also plays a role as one of the orang-utan rehabilitation centres. This paper describes the present condition of the TPNP-BR including some management problems and threats and some action plans for the near future.
Download or read book Evolution and Ungodly Ways written by Gary Lassiter and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013-02 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For 150 years numerous groups of Christians have disparaged the theory of evolution. With a variety of critical statements which they assure are honest, sensible and correct, they have succeeded in instructing generations of Christians with an anti-evolution world view. This book presents a different perspective: that Christian anti-evolution does not defend Christianity, it destroys it. In terms anyone can understand, the most prominent anti-evolution claims are disassembled and exposed. But unlike other works on this topic, this one goes a step further by highlighting the scriptural and spiritual errors of Christian anti-evolution. It is, to the surprise of no one, impossible to deceive people about science without also deceiving them about scripture. Evolution And Ungodly Ways is a simple account of corruption put together with the hope of strengthening those who choose to walk a lighted path.
