This book was released on 2022-05-24 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dans les pays en développement, la question de la responsabilité sociétale des entreprises (RSE) demeure préoccupante dans les grandes comme dans les petites ou moyennes entreprises. Ainsi, la RSE est perçue comme un thème fédérateur en sciences de gestion et de par sa dimension sociétale dans les sciences économiques et sociales prenant tout son sens dans le management opérationnel des entreprises. Considérée comme le prolongement de la prise en compte du développement durable dans ses implications managériales, la RSE cristallise l'attention de nombreux chercheurs depuis plusieurs décennies, notamment dans sa dimension sociale, environnementale et normative depuis une vingtaine d'années et sociétale depuis les années 2000. Cet ouvrage vient contribuer à faire sortir la RSE du secteur de l'industrie forestière exerçant dans le deuxième massif forestier mondial en vue de lutter contre la déforestation.

Book excerpt: The 2010 State of the Forest report (SOF) benefited from financial support from the European Union, the United States, Germany, France and UNESCO. It represents the collaborative effort of over 100 individuals from a diversity of institutions and the forestry administrations of the Central African countries. The SOF process began with the selection and definition of indicators relevant to monitoring the state of forests in Central Africa. The indicators are structured around three thematic areas: (i) forest cover; (ii) management of production forests; and (iii) conservation and biodiversity. They are presented in a hierarchical structure at the regional, national and management unit (i.e. logging concessions and protected areas) levels. The indicators were vetted by a representative panel of stakeholders of forest management in Central Africa. The indicators are used to guide an annual data collection process carried out between April and August by national groups of four to ten individuals working within the forestry administrations. The data reported on in the 2010 SOF were primarily collected in 2009 and 2010. Results were validated in national workshops attended by government officials as well as representatives of environmental NGOs, the private sector and development projects. The data provided an important basis for the authors of the 11 chapters of the 2010 SOF, which were under the coordination of a scientific committee of international renown. A final workshop was held 29-30 March, 2011 in Douala to review a draft report. Following amendments based on comments from a wide audience of experts the final layout was completed.
Download or read book Governing Africa s Forests in a Globalized World written by Laura Anne German and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-12-01 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many countries around the world are engaged in decentralization processes, and most African countries face serious problems with forest governance, from benefits sharing to illegality and sustainable forest management. This book summarizes experiences to date on the extent and nature of decentralization and its outcomes - most of which suggest an underperformance of governance reforms - and explores the viability of different governance instruments in the context of weak governance and expanding commercial pressures over forests. Findings are grouped into two thematic areas: decentralization, livelihoods and sustainable forest management; and international trade, finance and forest sector governance reforms. The authors examine diverse forces shaping the forest sector, including the theory and practice of decentralization, usurpation of authority, corruption and illegality, inequitable patterns of benefits capture and expansion of international trade in timber and carbon credits, and discuss related outcomes on livelihoods, forest condition and equity. The book builds on earlier volumes exploring different dimensions of decentralization and perspectives from other world regions, and distills dimensions of forest governance that are both unique to Africa and representative of broader global patterns. The authors ground their analysis in relevant theory while drawing out implications of their findings for policy and practice.

Inland Water Resources and Aquaculture Service and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2006 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aquaculture is developing, expanding and intensifying in almost all regions of the world, except in sub-Saharan Africa. Although the sector appears to be capable of meeting the gap between future demand and supply for aquatic food, there are many constraints and challenges which must be addressed in order to at least maintain the present level of per capita consumption at the global level. Key issues are the need for enhanced enforcement of regulation and better governance of the sector, as well as greater producer participation in the decision-making and regulation process. This publication examines past trends in aquaculture development as well as the current global status, drawing on a number of national and regional reviews.

Download or read book Natural Questions written by Lucius Annaeus Seneca and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-05-15 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lucius Annaeus Seneca (4 BCE–65 CE) was a Roman Stoic philosopher, dramatist, statesman, and adviser to the emperor Nero, all during the Silver Age of Latin literature. The Complete Works of Lucius Annaeus Seneca is a fresh and compelling series of new English-language translations of his works in eight accessible volumes. Edited by world-renowned classicists Elizabeth Asmis, Shadi Bartsch, and Martha C. Nussbaum, this engaging collection restores Seneca—whose works have been highly praised by modern authors from Desiderius Erasmus to Ralph Waldo Emerson—to his rightful place among the classical writers most widely studied in the humanities. Written near the end of Seneca’s life, Natural Questions is a work in which Seneca expounds and comments on the natural sciences of his day—rivers and earthquakes, wind and snow, meteors and comets—offering us a valuable look at the ancient scientific mind at work. The modern reader will find fascinating insights into ancient philosophical and scientific approaches to the physical world and also vivid evocations of the grandeur, beauty, and terror of nature.
Download or read book Protected Area Management written by Barbara Sladonja and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2012-08-08 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Protected areas are at the base of the most national and international conservation strategies. Due to the many unpredictable elements in ecology matters, each protected area requires a case-specific set of guidelines but a common issue is how to cope with human interaction. The management of protected areas is replete with challenges and the only way to gain understanding and achieve greater management possibilities is to exchange experiences and knowledge. Environmental managers are aware of that and together with scientists are looking for more modern and better solutions, both with respect to natural resources and human interactions in many issues regarding nature protection. This publication presents reviews and research results on protected areas management, as well as 12 case studies derived from around the world with the aim of improving management effectiveness of the protected areas.

This book was released on 2024-06-19 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mémoire (de fin d'études) de l’année 2023 dans le domaine Sciences de l'Environnement - Protection du climat et de l'environnement, note: Sociologue, University of Kisangani (Faculté de Sciences Sociales Administratives et Politiques), cours: Sociologie, langue: français, résumé: L'ouvrage discute de la responsabilité sociale de l'Industrie forestière du Congo et du développement du groupement de Bevenzeke dans le territoire de Bafwasende. La République Démocratique du Congo, riche en ressources naturelles grâce à ses vastes forêts tropicales, voit ces dernières exploitées avec des impacts variés sur l'environnement et les communautés locales. L'étude souligne que la majorité des Congolais, principalement des paysans, dépendent de l'exploitation traditionnelle des ressources naturelles pour leur subsistance. Cependant, l'Industrie forestière du Congo ne respecte pas ses responsabilités sociales envers l'environnement et la communauté de Bevenzeke, entraînant des conséquences néfastes présentes et futures. Pour équilibrer l'économie et le social, il est nécessaire de mener des études de cas avec les parties prenantes afin de créer un plan de gestion durable des forêts. Ces forêts doivent être exploitées prudemment pour le bien-être de l'humanité tout en respectant l'équilibre biologique. Les impacts sociaux et environnementaux de l'exploitation forestière sont cruciaux : l'arrivée de l'Industrie forestière du Congo dans Bevenzeke devrait renforcer l'économie locale, créer des emplois, améliorer les infrastructures sanitaires et scolaires, et réduire la pauvreté.
