The introduction provides an overview of the Islands and the key NTFP sectors relevant to the Islands. Chapter one focusses on the edible wild mushroom industry, beginning with the international context & the provincial role and continuing with details on the Islands mushroom industry (including harvest volumes, distribution, & marketing). Chapter two discusses other NTFP categories such as berries, craft materials, and floral products, along with any available economic information. Chapters three & four outline Aboriginal & community concerns & interests related to NTFP use for commercial purposes and NTFP business opportunities, and chapter five discusses some approaches to addressing community concerns with reference to such issues as regulation & property rights and experiences in other jurisdictions. Chapter six reviews the business of NTFP on the Islands and identifies ten of the best NTFP business opportunities. The last chapter contains a profile of Island chanterelle mushroom pickers. Appendices include summaries of public meetings held on the Islands to discuss NTFP issues.
Download or read book Planning Logging written by E. A. Sauder and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explored public preferences for forest landscapes with varying levels of alteration. Results of a photo-questionnaire administered in the east and west Kootenays indicated that preferences are affected most by the presence or absence of highly visible alteration, and second by the drama of the landscapes. Dramatic landscapes (largely more vertical and complex) were more preferred than less dramatic ones. A high degree of correlation was found between these preferences and the B.C. Forest Service Visual Quality Objective ratings. In attitudes toward forest management, respondents felt that environmental quality was the most important factor to consider, followed by scenic quality and economics. Overall, the relationships between visual preferences and expressed attitudes did not follow any clear pattern.

Download or read book Coastal Marine Ecosystems of Latin America written by U. Seeliger and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2000-10-18 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coastal and marine ecosystems, some severely degraded, other still pristine, control rich resources of inshore environments and coastal seas of Latin America's Pacific and Atlantic margins. Conflicts between the needs of the region's nations and diminishing revenues and environmental quality have induced awareness of coastal ecological problems and motivated financial support for restoration and management. The volume provides a competent review on the structure, processes and function of 22 important Latin American coastal marine ecosystems. Each contribution describes the environmental settings, biotic components and structure of the system, considers trophic processes and energy flow, evaluates the modifying influence of natural and human perturbations, and suggests management needs. Although the focus of the book is on basic ecological research, the results have application for coastal managers.

Book excerpt: The book that launched environmental history, William Cronon's Changes in the Land, now revised and updated. Winner of the Francis Parkman Prize In this landmark work of environmental history, William Cronon offers an original and profound explanation of the effects European colonists' sense of property and their pursuit of capitalism had upon the ecosystems of New England. Reissued here with an updated afterword by the author and a new preface by the distinguished colonialist John Demos, Changes in the Land, provides a brilliant inter-disciplinary interpretation of how land and people influence one another. With its chilling closing line, "The people of plenty were a people of waste," Cronon's enduring and thought-provoking book is ethno-ecological history at its best.

Book excerpt: Willtown was founded in the late 17th century on the banks of the South Edisto River, but the movement of the Willtown Church in the 1760s to another location marked the demise of the town. Hugh C. Lane Jr. encouraged The Charleston Museum in its research in and around the Willtown area, asking the question, "Why did Willtown fail?" "Our serendipitous discovery of James Stobo's rice plantation a mile from Willtown revealed a site remarkable in its pristine preservation, the clarity of its stratigraphic record, the number and types of artifacts recovered, and in the complexity of its architectural detail."--Introduction, p. 1.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Taking the Air, Paul Kopas takes a comprehensive approach to the policy aspects of the management of parks and protected areas. He scrutinizes the policy-making process for national parks since the mid-1950s and interrogates the rationale and policies that have governed their administration. He argues that national parks and park policy reflect not only environmental concerns but also the political and social attitudes of bureaucrats, citizens, interest groups, Aboriginal peoples, and legal authorities. He explores how the goals of each group have been shaped by the historical context of park policy, influencing the shape and weight of their contributions.

Book excerpt: The Olympic Peninsula. This remarkable and isolated corner of Washington State is a land where snowy peaks tumble down to a mist-shrouded coast and majestic rainfores lies only 34 miles from dry oak savanna.

Rugged and remote, the Olympic Peninsula is a place where naturalists can still experience the thrill of discovering aspecies previously unknown to the area.This book is the first comprehensive inventory of the Peninsula's flora, bringing together the results of nearly a century of botanical explorations by the authors. With it's inclusion of recent changes in plant names, this text is also a crucial taxonomic reference. It is an essential tool for anyone involved in the study, restoration, preservation, or enjoyment of native plants and their habitats on the Olympic Peninsula.
Download or read book The Archive of Place written by William Joseph Turkel and published by University of British Columbia Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Archive of Place weaves together a series of narratives about environmental history in a particular location -- British Columbia’s Chilcotin Plateau. In the mid-1990s, the Chilcotin was at the centre of three territorial conflicts. Opposing groups, in their struggle to control the fate of the region and its resources, invoked different understandings of its past -- and different types of evidence -- to justify their actions. These controversies serve as case studies, as William Turkel examines how people interpret material traces to reconstruct past events, the conditions under which such interpretation takes place, and the role that this interpretation plays in historical consciousness and social memory. It is a wide-ranging and original study that extends the span of conventional historical research.
