This book was released on with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro propone una reflexión sobre la restauración de ecosistemas terrestres en el contexto de un territorio con identidad en construcción activa –Latinoamérica y Caribe– enmarcado en una crisis social, económica, ecológica y política que se funda histórica y políticamente en el colonialismo y el modelo imperante de acumulación de capital. Por primera vez se reúnen reflexiones y experiencias prácticas de buena parte de los países de Latinoamérica y el Caribe en términos de restauración, y se consolida un enfoque social que posiblemente en el futuro adquiera un espacio preponderante en este campo en la región. Los autores afirman que hay un saber latinoamericano sobre la restauración que está en construcción y que ésta disciplina puede ser una herramienta para aumentar el empoderamiento de las poblaciones locales y llevar a cabo una acción colectiva de cambio. Están compilados aquí estudios de caso de 11 países de la región, que involucran una multiplicidad de voces emergentes que afloran más allá de principios generalistas y de “abajo hacia arriba”. La idea principal es abrir un debate sobre la identidad de la restauración ecológica y social en la región. Los destinatarios de este libro son practicantes de la restauración, voluntarios, gestores ambientales, investigadores, decisores políticos, ONG, que han deparado con la complejidad socioecológica de la práctica de la restauración en una región con problemas sociales ineludibles y tienen inquietudes similares a las de los numerosos autores presentes en los capítulos. Esta obra trata de integrar un movimiento en marcha, casi silencioso, que en sus albores va naciendo con sus narraciones propias que denotan éxitos y también fracasos, pero que no impiden su continuidad. Es de un valor destacable el empeño que se observa en los actores sociales Latinoamericanos y del Caribe para restaurar no sólo los valores naturales sino también los sociales, éticos y culturales.
Download or read book Beyond restoration ecology social perspectives in Latin America and the Caribbean written by Eliane Ceccon & Daniel Roberto Pérez and published by Eliane Ceccon. This book was released on 2017-09-05 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book invites us to reflect on the restoration of terrestrial ecosystems in the context of a region whose identity is still under construction, Latin America and the Caribbean, immersed in a social, economic, ecological and political crisis, whose roots originate historically and politically in colonialism and in the prevailing model of capital accumulation. For the first time, insights and practical experiences on restoration are gathered from most Latin-American and Caribbean countries. Furthermore, this book offers a social approach to restoration, which will likely become preponderant in this field and in this region. The authors claim that a Latin-American knowledge of restoration is under construction and that this discipline can be a significant tool to empower local populations, which might, in turn, lead to a collective action of change. Case studies from 11 countries of the region were compiled, involving multiple voices that emerge beyond generalist principles and with a bottom-up approach. The main idea of the book is to open a debate about the identity of ecological and social restoration in this region. This book is targeted to restoration specialists, volunteers, environmental managers, researchers, politicians and NGOs working on the complexity of socioecological restoration in a region with unavoidable social problems. It is intended for people with similar concerns to those of the chapters' authors. This work tries to integrate a movement on the rise, almost silent, born with its own narratives of successes and failures that do not hinder its development. Finally, the determination and commitment of Latin-American and Caribbean social actors to restore not only natural values but also social, ethical and cultural ones is remarkable.

This book was released on 2018-12-20 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book demonstrates the social, historical, and environmental framework within which humans have developed a relationship with the forest and its resources. Starting from the biological basis that permits the existence of forests to the use of forest resources in a modern human context, this book summarizes the interaction between humans and forest ecosystems. Designed for readers from a broad range of disciplines and interests including those from environmental sciences, environmental economics, sociology, anthropology, biology, forestry and human ecology and other related disciplines, the book evokes interest in the development of an integrated approach towards forest ecosystems and natural resources in the context of sustainability.

Download or read book The Andean Cloud Forest written by Randall W. Myster and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-11-12 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A book focused solely on Andean Cloud Forests (ACF) has never been published. ACF are high biodiversity ecosystems in the Neotropics with a large proportion of endemic species, and are important for the hydrology of entire regions. They provide water for large parts of the Amazon basin, for example. Here I take advantage of my many years working in ACF in Ecuador, to edit this book that contains the following sections: (1) ACF over space and time, (2) Hydrology, (3) Light and the Carbon cycle, (4) Soil, litter, fungi and nutrient cycling, (5) Plants, (6) Animals, and (7) Human impacts and management. Under this premise, international experts contributed chapters that consist of reviews of what is known about their topic, of what research they have done, and of what needs to be done in the future. This work is suitable for graduate students, professors, scientists, and researcher-oriented managers.
