Book Conservation in Chilean Patagonia

Download or read book Conservation in Chilean Patagonia written by Juan Carlos Castilla and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2024-02-04 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chilean Patagonia, located at the southwestern tip of South America, is one of the last regions on earth where highly intact environments predominate. With a coastline that extends along some 100,000 km of fjords, channels, and islands, it has one of the world ́s most extensive marine-terrestrial interfaces. Local place-based and Indigenous cultures and management practices are a vital presence across the region, while the long and rich history of conservation efforts have resulted in officially protected areas covering over 50% of the land and 41% of the coastal-marine area. However, Chilean Patagonia is increasingly facing anthropogenic pressures associated with increased infrastructure and access, salmon aquaculture, extractive industries, and the spread of invasive exotic species. Despite widespread recognition that Chilean Patagonia represents a unique global reservoir of socio-natural heritage, to date there has been no region-wide assessment of the scientific evidence of the conservation status of its ecosystems or the priorities for their effective conservation. Conservation in Chilean Patagonia: Assessing the state of knowledge, opportunities, and challenges is the first book to gather and synthesize the available scientific and socio-environmental information related to Patagonian conservation. It presents the collaborative work of 68 researchers and local experts, representing a range of specialties and perspectives, including: biology, ecology, socio-ecology, fisheries, aquaculture, anthropology, economics, geography, tourism, cryosphere, oceanography, climate and global change. The book’s 18 chapters focus on the status of key ecosystems and conservation tools, and provide recommendations toward the construction of a renewed, inclusive, and integrated conservation agenda for the Chilean Patagonian region. It provides an essential primer for anyone interested in the future of this ecologically vital region, as well as lessons on interdisciplinary collaboration and integrated analysis of conservation issues useful for conservation practitioners and scholars. This is an open access book. This book is a translation of an original Spanish edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation.

Book El ordenamiento territorial de Chile

Download or read book El ordenamiento territorial de Chile written by Alejandra Precht Rorris and published by Ediciones UC. This book was released on 2017 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El ordenamiento territorial en Chile nace del interés de las autoras por poner al alcance de profesionales, investigadores y estudiantes una revisión sistematizada del marco normativo chileno referido a esta materia esencial en la distribución de los usos de suelo y en la gestión ambiental. El libro busca facilitar la comprensión del complejo escenario regulatorio actual en esta materia y presenta una completa y actualizada clasificación de los instrumentos de planificación y ordenamiento territorial vigentes, los que son descritos y analizados a la luz de la jurisprudencia administrativa y judicial. El ordenamiento territorial se ha convertido en una variable estratégica para lograr un desarrollo sustentable que reduzca las externalidades negativas del crecimiento económico y preserve los ecosistemas; esta publicación realiza un aporte notable en el logro de estos objetivos. "Este libro se transformará con certeza en un texto de referencia para todos quienes requieran conocer el marco normativo del ordenamiento territorial chileno. El Papa Francisco nos ha interpretado a través de su encíclica Laudato Si y nos recuerda que la academia tiene un rol insustituible en el desarrollo de investigación destinada a entender mejor el comportamiento de los ecosistemas y los impactos de las acciones humanas, y en proponer también la síntesis para una mejor toma de decisiones en su gestión. Tenemos entre manos un ejemplo muy claro del tipo de contribución al que estamos llamados". Dr. Francisco J. Meza Ph.D. Ciencias Atosféricas, Cornell University

Download or read book The North American Mosaic written by Commission for Environmental Cooperation (Montréal, Québec). Secretariat and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.

Book Mahatma Gandhi

    Book Details:
  • Author : Dennis Dalton
  • Publisher : Columbia University Press
  • Release : 2012-02-21
  • ISBN : 0231530390
  • Pages : 353 pages

Download or read book Mahatma Gandhi written by Dennis Dalton and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2012-02-21 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dennis Dalton's classic account of Gandhi's political and intellectual development focuses on the leader's two signal triumphs: the civil disobedience movement (or salt satyagraha) of 1930 and the Calcutta fast of 1947. Dalton clearly demonstrates how Gandhi's lifelong career in national politics gave him the opportunity to develop and refine his ideals. He then concludes with a comparison of Gandhi's methods and the strategies of Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X, drawing a fascinating juxtaposition that enriches the biography of all three figures and asserts Gandhi's relevance to the study of race and political leadership in America. Dalton situates Gandhi within the "clash of civilizations" debate, identifying the implications of his work on continuing nonviolent protests. He also extensively reviews Gandhian studies and adds a detailed chronology of events in Gandhi's life.
