Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Philippines has been a pioneer in granting communities greater involvement in managing natural resources, including forests, coastal resources, and irrigation water. Community-based natural resource management (CBNRM) has seemed the answer to improving both equity and sustainability, yet progress has been mixed. This book presents a collection of papers from a large review of Philippine CBNRM. As this study makes clear, CBNRM remains the nation's best hope for sustainability; it is thus important to identify ways to improve outcomes, both for natural resources and for local resource-dependent peoples.

Download or read book Shifting Cultivation and Environmental Change written by Malcolm F. Cairns and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-01-09 with total page 1405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shifting cultivation is one of the oldest forms of subsistence agriculture and is still practised by millions of poor people in the tropics. Typically it involves clearing land (often forest) for the growing of crops for a few years, and then moving on to new sites, leaving the earlier ground fallow to regain its soil fertility. This book brings together the best of science and farmer experimentation, vividly illustrating the enormous diversity of shifting cultivation systems as well as the power of human ingenuity. Some critics have tended to disparage shifting cultivation (sometimes called 'swidden cultivation' or 'slash-and-burn agriculture') as unsustainable due to its supposed role in deforestation and land degradation. However, the book shows that such indigenous practices, as they have evolved over time, can be highly adaptive to land and ecology. In contrast, 'scientific' agricultural solutions imposed from outside can be far more damaging to the environment and local communities. The book focuses on successful agricultural strategies of upland farmers, particularly in south and south-east Asia, and presents over 50 contributions by scholars from around the world and from various disciplines, including agricultural economics, ecology and anthropology. It is a sequel to the much praised "Voices from the Forest: Integrating Indigenous Knowledge into Sustainable Upland Farming" (RFF Press, 2007), but all chapters are completely new and there is a greater emphasis on the contemporary challenges of climate change and biodiversity conservation.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to address the most significant issues of natural resource management in the Philippines. The natural resources of concern in this study include principally vegetation, notably forests and their watershed functions; soils, together with their nutrient stocks; water supplies, used for irrigated agriculture, hydropower, and industrial and household needs; and fisheries, both marine and inland. The issues addressed concern the extent and rate of degradation of these resource stocks, the impact thereof on the natural economy, and the scope for ameliorative measures through policy responses and management changes. The initial sections of the report deal with the status of the natural resource base and the process leading to its degradation, including the fundamental causes. Subsequent sections evaluate the public and private institutions involved in resource management; and apply a largely economic perspective in reviewing the social costs of degradation, critiquing alternative interventions, and examining the impacts of the economic environment. The final section outlines a comprehensive strategy for improving natural resource management combining institutional and policy reforms with programs of extension and public investment.

Download or read book Ecotourism written by David A. Fennell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-09-08 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ecotourism continues to be embraced as the antithesis of mass tourism because of its promise of achieving sustainability through conservation mindedness, community development, education and learning, and the promotion of nature based activities that were sensitive to both ecological and social systems. The extent to which this promise has been realised is open to debate. Focusing on an array of economic, social and ecological inconsistencies that continue to plague ecotourism in theory and practice, the volume examines ecotourism in reference to other related forms of tourism, impacts, conservation, sustainability, education and interpretation, policy and governance, and the ethical imperative of ecotourism as these apply to the world’s greenest form of tourism. Ecotourism is a growing field attracting increasing attention from students and academics. Fennell provides an authoritative and comprehensive review of the most important issues that continue to both plague ecotourism and make it one of the most dynamic sectors in the tourism industry. It covers a comprehensive range of themes and geographical regions. Building on the success of prior editions, Ecotourism has been revised throughout to incorporate recent research and benefits from the introduction of real-life case studies and summaries of recent literature. An essential reference for those interested in Ecotourism, the book is accessible to students but retains the depth required for use by researchers and practitioners in the field. New chapters on the theory and application of animal ethics; community development in sustainable tourism; and education and learning in the field have added further value to an already very comprehensive volume. This book will be of interest to students across a range of disciplines including geography, economics, business, ethics, biology, and environmental studies.
