Book Synopsis Another Boom for Amazonia? by : Jr. Penn
Download or read book Another Boom for Amazonia? written by Jr. Penn and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 2010-05 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the socioeconomic and environmental implications of the new camu camu industry in Peru. Camu camu (Myrciaria dubia) is a small tree native to wetlands of the Amazon basin. It is especially abundant in Peruvian Amazonia. The high vitamin-C content of the fruit has generated interest in exporting camu camu products from Amazonia to more-developed countries. The government of Peru has been actively promoting this new extractive industry, as well as the planting of camu camu in rural areas. Non-governmental development organizations and private industry are now actively involved with camu camu projects and enterprises. In Peru, enthusiasm for this native species is high, because camu camu is expected to provide a much-needed and sustainable economic boost for the region. However, many questions about the environmental implications and socioeconomic impacts of the camu camu export industry need to be answered in order to understand its ecological and economic viability, and its effects on business and in rural communities. Winner of 2010 "Dissertation Excellence Award" Findings indicate that camu camu has provided significantly more income to rural residents than is provided by the traditional boom and bust economies of Amazonia. Households who adopted camu camu as a new crop in their floodplain agroforestry systems farmed significantly more floodplain land than non-adopters, and were especially adept at experimenting with new innovations. Lack of agricultural credit is a major constraint to adopting camu camu as a new crop in Peru. Geographic isolation and the location of processing facilities in relation to fruit harvests present major obstacles to the economic viability of the new industry. Camu camu was found to be cultivated with a higher diversity of annual crops than is typical in floodplain fields of the region. Extraction of camu camu fruits from the wild does not appear to have a negative environmental impact, at least in the initial years of the industry. This non-timber forest product in the process of domestication can support a viable industry in the Peruvian Amazon, if agricultural extension methods and marketing channels are improved.

Book Synopsis Imperiled Waters, Impoverished Future by : Janet N. Abramovitz
Download or read book Imperiled Waters, Impoverished Future written by Janet N. Abramovitz and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this report, the author catalogs the growing damage to the earth's circulatory system, and shows that the supposed benefits of disrupting freshwater ecosystems are a devil's bargain. Most of the Mississippi River's floodplain is walled off from the river to protect farms and cities, yet the frequency, severity, and cost of floods have increased. The report shows the benefits ecosystems provide. An intact floodplain in Nigeria, for instance, supports tens of thousands of people and provides economic value a thousand times higher than diverting the water for other uses. Wetlands in the U.S. provide billions of dollars of benefits in flood and pollution control, water storage, and support of fisheries. Few communities would want to add this tab to their tax bills, yet the author notes that at least half the wetlands in the lower 48 states have been drained, an incalculable loss. Projects planned worldwide, from an aquatic highway in South America to a staircase of dams on the Mekong River, threaten the integrity of freshwater systems and the livelihoods of millions who depend on them. THe author also lists the steps needed to reverse the current course.
Book Synopsis Battle Against Extinction by : W. L. Minckley
Download or read book Battle Against Extinction written by W. L. Minckley and published by . This book was released on 1991-12 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1962 the Green River was poisoned and its native fishes killed so that the new Flaming Gorge Reservoir could be stocked with non-native game fishes for sportsmen. This incident was representative of water management in the West, where dams and other projects have been built to serve human needs without consideration for the effects of water diversion or depletion on the ecosystem. Indeed, it took a Supreme Court decision in 1976 to save Devils Hole pupfish from habitat destruction at the hands of developers. Nearly a third of the native fish fauna of North America lives in the arid West; this book traces their decline toward extinction as a result of human interference and the threat to their genetic diversity posed by decreases in their populations. What can be done to slow or end this tragedy? As the most comprehensive treatment ever attempted on the subject, Battle Against Extinction shows how conservation efforts have been or can be used to reverse these trends. In covering fishes in arid lands west of the Mississippi Valley, the contributors provide a species-by-species appraisal of their status and potential for recovery, bringing together in one volume nearly all of the scattered literature on western fishes to produce a monumental work in conservation biology. They also ponder ethical considerations related to the issue, ask why conservation efforts have not proceeded at a proper pace, and suggest how native fish protection relates to other aspects of biodiversity planetwide. Their insights will allow scientific and public agencies to evaluate future management of these animal populations and will offer additional guidance for those active in water rights and conservation biology. First published in 1991, Battle Against Extinction is now back in print and available as an open-access e-book thanks to the Desert Fishes Council.
