Download or read book Plundering Paradise written by Robin Broad and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-11-15 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This gripping portrait of environmental politics chronicles the devastating destruction of the Philippine countryside and reveals how ordinary men and women are fighting back. Traveling through a land of lush rainforests, the authors have recorded the experiences of the people whose livelihoods are disappearing along with their country's natural resources. The result is an inspiring, informative account of how peasants, fishers, and other laborers have united to halt the plunder and to improve their lives. These people do not debate global warming—they know that their very lives depend on the land and oceans, so they block logging trucks, protest open-pit mining, and replant trees. In a country where nearly two-thirds of the children are impoverished, the reclaiming of natural resources is offering young people hope for a future. Plundering Paradise is essential reading for anyone interested in development, the global environment, and political life in the Third World.

This book was released on 1994 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph takes off from a definition of environmental problems not only in terms of the degradation of specific resources but also of their habitats. Guided by a framework developed to offset some of the limitations inherent in the neo-classical economic definition of the nature, causes, and solutions of Philippine environmental problems, it discusses the factors which facilitated the degradation of ecological zones in the Philippines. The monograph ends with recommendations on policy directions in the immediate and medium-term period.

Download or read book The Green Tiger written by Barbara Goldoftas and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2005-12-22 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once famous for the beauty of its white beaches, reef-ringed islands, and lush forests, today the Philippines is known as an example of the deep costs of ecological decline. In less than a generation, large and small users alike felled the forests, shattered the coral reefs, and over-fished the oceans. The rapid harvest of the once-abundant resources has brought environmental changes: droughts, deadly flash floods, and the collapse of vital fisheries. The consequences have reverberated throughout the country. As the rural economy weakened, millions migrated to the cities, overwhelming the infrastructure and deepening the problems of urban health. Pioneering efforts have been launched to curtail the environmental damage and manage the resources that remain. Trained as a botanist and plant ecologist, writer Barbara Goldoftas traveled extensively throughout the archipelago to document the loss of the natural resources, the dramatic human costs, and efforts to reverse the decline. Along the forest frontier, she met villagers whose fields had been washed away by mudslides and church workers risking their lives to defend the dwindling forests. In coastal villages, she spoke with fishermen who, having watched their catches diminish with the dying reefs, enforced the boundaries of no-take zones. In towns and villages alike, she interviewed local politicians and leaders of non-governmental organizations working to combine conservation and development and keep their communities intact. Written about a country often described as an environmental worst-case scenario, The Green Tiger offers an unusually close look at the consequences of ecological decline and determined efforts to reverse them. It argues that, rather than destroying a natural resource base, development should integrate conservation and economic growth. It gives a realistic, but optimistic vision of the long process of "nation-building" that is the backdrop of environmental work in a developing country and a new democracy.

This book was released on 2020-08-29 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foreword + + + + + This is a legal reference book on Philippine laws that are used by Environmental Planners in their practice.The compilers included as much laws as they think are relevant to the Scope of Practice of EnPs, as per Sec. 5 of R.A. 10587 on "plan preparation".NPFPs, RPFPS, PFPPs - "National, Regional or Local development and/or physical framework and comprehensive land use plans."ZOs - "Zoning and related ordinances, codes and other legal issuances, for the development and management, preservation, conservation, rehabilitation, regulation, and control of the environment, including all land, water, air and natural resources."CLUPs/CDPs - Planning and development of a barangay, municipality, city, region, or any portion or combination thereof"; and, MDPs - "Development of a site for a particular need or special purpose, such as economic or ecological zones, tourism development zones, and housing and other estate development projects, including the creation of any other spatial arrangements of buildings, utilities, transport and communications."In Part One of this book, the "Master Summary Matrix, the laws used frequently by EnPs are grouped together into "sectors" or "planning subjects" - such as, "Land Use", "Housing", "Transport", etc.The bulk of the EnP Scope of Practice consists of the formulation of CLUP/ZO/ CDP of cities and municipalities. The HLURB (CLUP/ZO) and the DILG (CDP) guidelines are cited in this reference.The second more important practice of EnPs concerns those defined by environmental laws - under the watch of the DENR, e.g., Philippine Environmental Impact System, Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act. Solid Waste Management Act, etc.A third preoccupation of EnPs is the planning of "sectoral programs and projects". Each sector is covered by a law, e.g., a tourism development project must follow the Tourism Act, an Agrarian Reform Community Development Plan - the CARP/DAR law(s), Indigenous Peoples' Development Plan - the IPRA Law.Agricultural projects are guided by the CARP, AFMA/SAFDZ, NPAAD guidelines, etc.; industrial estates/Freeport zones by the EPZA law, protected areas and forestlands by the NIPAS law, Urban Billboards and Signages by the National Building Code, etc..
