It will contribute to design parameters on appropriate sizing and spatial distribution of biodiversity islands in order to be effective in conservation and regeneration across the landscape, using integrated landscape management approaches. This book is essential given the current worldwide trend of habitat destruction and the need to preserve biodiversity and its values. The chapters are organized in five sections. The first section provides the introduction. Section 2,3 and 4 discuss the challenges and alternatives of establishment and management, case studies across the globe, safeguarding of the environmental, economic, and social benefits, and the final section offers a conclusion.

Download or read book Directrices voluntarias para la conservaci n a nivel nacional de especies silvestres afines a las plantas cultivadas y plantas silvestres comestibles written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2018-06-08 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los parientes silvestres de cultivos son posibles fuentes de caracteres deseables para la obtención de variedades bien adaptadas, mientras que las plantas silvestres comestibles son componentes importantes de la dieta de muchas personas en todo el mundo. Lamentablemente, sus hábitats silvestres naturales están cada vez más amenazados por las actividades humanas y las catástrofes naturales. La pérdida de hábitat repercute de manera directa y negativa en la diversidad de estos valiosos recursos. Las presentes directrices, concebidas como material de referencia para la elaboración de un Plan nacional para la conservación y el uso sostenible de parientes silvestres de cultivos y plantas silvestres comestibles, contribuirán a frenar esta continua pérdida de diversidad. Las directrices son, por consiguiente, un instrumento útil para profesionales del desarrollo, investigadores, estudiantes y responsables de la formulación de políticas que trabajan en la conservación y el uso sostenible de estos valiosos recursos.

Download or read book Monitoring Biodiversity written by Alfonso Alonso and published by Smithsonian Institution. This book was released on 2014-01-01 with total page 769 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book compiles case studies regarding the biodiversity research and monitoring program of Andean species and habitats carefully chosen as indicators to assess the short- and long-term effects of a linear disturbance: the PERU LNG pipeline. Set in a scientifically unexplored region of the Andes, Monitoring Biodiversity clearly articulates the Smithsonian-led conceptual framework for the implementation in the field by scientists. It addresses scientific and conservation questions addressed by the research protocols, the experimental design, and data gathering. Moreover, the book covers a gap on how to integrate biodiversity research, monitoring, and conservation into sustainable development projects of national and international interest. The text is presented in both English and Spanish.

Download or read book Vision for Water and Nature written by IUCN Canada and published by IUCN. This book was released on 2000 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Vision for Water and Nature is the "environment and ecosystems" component of the World Water Vision exercise of the World Water Council. It represents the first meaningful attempt to fully integrate environment issues into the development of a comprehensive strategy for water resource management at the global level. The vision was developed by IUCN through an extensive consultation effort based on three thematic workshops on freshwater ecosystem management and social, economic and environmental security, respectively. Instead of considering the environment as one of many water management sub-sectors, IUCN's consultations led it to emphasize the crucial role of ecosystems as the basis of our life support systems, without which security cannot be achieved and sustained. The vision also proposes a plan of action to help us achieve the sustainable world we envision in 2025.
