Book excerpt: Descended from a long and ancient lineage, tapirs are important tropical forest seed dispersers. However, today, all species of tapirs are threatened to various degrees by habitat destruction and hunting. This action plan was written with wildlife biologists, ecologists, administrators, educators and local conservation officials in mind and is aimed at those countries with tapir populations. It provides a brief natural history of each species and its objective is to aid in their conservation by catalyzing conservation action. In addition, it is hoped that the contents of the plan will stimulate further research into this fascinating group of animals.

Download or read book Guidelines for Cave and Karst Protection written by John Watson and published by IUCN. This book was released on 1997 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cave and karst landforms are distributed widely around the world. They have many values and are an integral component of the world's biodiversity. Some are habitats for a wide range of endemic species of flora and fauna, while others house rare and endangered species. Still others are the sources of rare minerals and some are important for resources such as groundwater, while some are venerated as sites of religious, spiritual and cultural importance. Many such landforms encompass one or many of these values. As special places, cave and karst landforms require special management. This small booklet has been prepared as a brief guide for planners, managers and users of cave and karst estates and provides general information and practical guidelines for the management of cave and karst ecosystems.

Download or read book Integrating Environmental Education Within the Management Model of the National Parks of Colombia written by Juanita Zorrilla Pujana and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La Educación Ambiental (EA) es considerada por muchos especialistas como parte fundamental en la gestión de las áreas protegidas, constituyendo una pieza clave en la vinculación de las dimensiones biológica y social para la conservación de los ecosistemas. Comparando con otras estrategias de gestión como la investigación biológica y el monitoreo, este campo se encuentra aun en su infancia, en donde se detectan vacíos en lo referente a sistematización y evaluación, lo que dificulta la integración y visibilidad de la EA dentro de los programas de gestión para la conservación de las áreas protegidas. Tomando el Sistema de Parques Nacionales Naturales de Colombia como área de estudio, se desarrolló una ruta metodológica capaz de integrar los planes de EA locales al modelo de gestión existente, mediante una investigación participativa e inclusiva para responder a las necesidades y objetivos específicos de conservación. En primer lugar, un diagnóstico interno de la EA fue realizado, revelando que la integración de la EA dentro de la estructura de gestión de los parques es una necesidad prioritaria, siendo un resultado que coincide en los dos estudios de caso elaborados en la costa del Pacífico colombiano. El diagnóstico también demuestra que la comunicación, la participación, la formación y la evaluación tienen que ser reforzadas, en donde la vinculación de la comunidad y a las partes interesadas involucradas en le proceso de gestión es esencial para el éxito del programa de EA y los resultados de gestión. La ruta metodológica propuesta ha sido consensuada por representantes del equipo de educación ambiental a nivel local, regional y nacional, e incorpora consejos y recomendaciones de las ONGs, de manera que la propuesta sea lo mas incluyente con los usuarios y actores sociales vinculados a los procesos de gestión de los parques. La integración de la EA en los planes de acción local, nos ayudará a avanzar hacia una gestión sostenible de las zonas marinas y costeras protegidas, teniendo en cuenta no sólo los aspectos biológicos, sino también el prisma socio-cultural. Una vez la ruta metodológica fue consensuada, la evaluación era el reto pendiente. Actualmente es necesaria una nueva perspectiva para medir la eficacia de la gestión en las áreas protegidas pasa por la inclusión de los datos sociales para la toma de decisiones. En este proceso, la EA juega un papel decisivo como catalizador entre los campos biológico y social en la gestión de áreas protegidas, si embargo son pocos los datos sobre esta relación. Siguiendo una perspectiva de "bottom-up" institucional, se desarrolló una batería de indicadores de EA, de fácil uso para los profesionales y capaz de medir la respuesta del programa de EA en relación con los objetivos de conservación del plan de manejo de áreas protegidas. Usando una combinación de técnicas cuantitativas y cualitativas, la recopilación de datos y la elaboración de los indicadores se divide en cinco etapas: 1. Encuesta a escala nacional sobre el programa de educación ambiental. 2. Una fase de entrevistas al equipo de EA de Parques Nacionales y ONGs medioambientales. 3. Categorización de objetivos de EA 4. Proceso de Sistematización y 5. Grupo Focal para evaluar la propuesta de indicadores. Finalmente, un conjunto de 5 indicadores es desarrollado siguiendo las necesidades identificadas: apropiación de la información, articulación, calidad de la participación, ejecución de los programas y continuidad del proceso de EA. Se espera que este nuevo enfoque para la evaluación de la EA sea adoptado en la actualización de los planes de gestión del Sistema de Parques Nacionales de Colombia, como una herramienta innovadora que contribuye a la evaluación de la eficacia de las áreas protegidas, incorporando un enfoque más social y participativo. Esta Tesis doctoral es una aportación para llevar a la acción la Política colombiana para la Participación Social en la Conservación y la Estrategia Nacional de Educación Ambiental para Parques Nacionales de Colombia.

Download or read book Socio ecological Studies in Natural Protected Areas written by Alfredo Ortega-Rubio and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-11-01 with total page 809 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the interactions of local inhabitants and environmental systems in the Protected Natural Areas of Mexico. Its goal is to help understand how social groups contextualize ecological knowledge, how human activities contribute to modifying the environmental matrix, how cultural and economic aspects influence the use, management and conservation of their ecological environment, and how social phenomena are to be viewed against the backdrop of ecological knowledge. The book reviews the epistemological and historical bases of the socio-ecological relationship, and addresses the evolution of human-natural systems. From a methodological standpoint, it assesses the tools required for the integration of “human” and “natural” dimensions in the management of the environmental matrix. Further, in the case studies section, it reviews valuable recent experiences concerning the retro-interactions of local inhabitants with their environmental matrix. Given its scope, the book offers a valuable asset for researchers and professionals all over the world, especially those working in Latin American countries.

Download or read book Neotropical Owls written by Paula L. Enriquez and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-07-24 with total page 673 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a comprehensive biological and ecological information about owls in the neotropic area. In addition the book covers topics such as threats and conservation strategies for these nocturnal birds of prey from 18 Neotropical countries. Owls are a good example of diversification processes and have developed evolutionary characteristics themselves. These species are found almost everywhere in the world but most of them are distributed in tropical areas and about a third of them live in the Neotropics. This biogeographic region has a high biodiversity and even share lineages of species from other continents because at some point all were part of Pangea. Although we still have much to know and understand about this diverse, scarcely studied and threatened group this work aims to be a precedent for future and further research on the subject.
