Book Synopsis Communication, Social Networks, and Perceptions of Water and Wildlife in the Okavango Delta, Botswana by : Deborah J. Wojcik Hall
Download or read book Communication, Social Networks, and Perceptions of Water and Wildlife in the Okavango Delta, Botswana written by Deborah J. Wojcik Hall and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The perceptions that people hold about natural resources are affected by the type of resource, the ethnic background of the individual, and the person's position within their village communication network. Mental models (cognitive representations built from experience) are more robust for wildlife than water, reflecting the relative complexity and importance associated with understanding wildlife in this setting. Ethnicity, which is closely tied to a person's experience with wildlife, and the extent to which a person is connected to others also appear to affect perceptions. Understanding how community size, gender, and ethnicity affect communication networks, participation, and perceptions about water and wildlife is helpful in designing communication strategies and decision-making processes that engage marginalized groups, actively foster information exchange, and facilitate adaptation among rural community members.

Book Synopsis People and Wildlife, Conflict or Co-existence? by : Rosie Woodroffe
Download or read book People and Wildlife, Conflict or Co-existence? written by Rosie Woodroffe and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-08-25 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human-wildlife conflict is a major issue in conservation. As people encroach into natural habitats, and as conservation efforts restore wildlife to areas where they may have been absent for generations, contact between people and wild animals is growing. Some species, even the beautiful and endangered, can have serious impacts on human lives and livelihoods. Tigers kill people, elephants destroy crops and African wild dogs devastate sheep herds left unattended. Historically, people have responded to these threats by killing wildlife wherever possible, and this has led to the endangerment of many species that are difficult neighbours. The urgent need to conserve such species, however, demands coexistence of people and endangered wildlife. This book presents a variety of solutions to human-wildlife conflicts, including novel and traditional farming practices, offsetting the costs of wildlife damage through hunting and tourism, and the development of local and national policies.

Book Synopsis World Heritage and Sustainable Development by : Peter Bille Larsen
Download or read book World Heritage and Sustainable Development written by Peter Bille Larsen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-07-03 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2015, the General Assembly of State Parties to the World Heritage Convention passed a ground-breaking Sustainable Development policy that seeks to bring the World Heritage system into line with the UN’s sustainable development agenda (UNESCO 2015). World Heritage and Sustainable Development provides a broad overview of the process that brought about the new policy and the implications of its enactment. The book is divided into four parts. Part I puts the policy in its historical and theoretical context, and Part II offers an analysis of the four policy dimensions on which the policy is based – environmental sustainability, inclusive social development, inclusive economic development and the fostering of peace and security. Part III presents perspectives from IUCN, ICOMOS and ICCROM – the three Advisory Bodies to the World Heritage Committee, and Part IV offers ‘case study’ perspectives on the practical implications of the policy. Contributions come from a wide range of experienced heritage professionals and practitioners who offer both ‘inside’ perspectives on the evolution of the policy and ‘outside’ perspectives on its implications. Combined, they present and analyse the main ideas, debates and implications of the policy change. This book is key reading for all heritage professionals interested in developing a better understanding of the new Sustainable Development policy. It is also essential reading for scholars and students working in the area.
