Book Synopsis Effective Conservation by : Ignacio Jiménez
Download or read book Effective Conservation written by Ignacio Jiménez and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2022-03-17 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For most, “conservation” conjures the notion of minimizing human presence on wildlands to avoid harmful impacts. But too often, this defensive approach has pitted local communities against conservationists, wasting opportunities for collaboration and setting the stage for ongoing conflict. One conservation approach turns that paradigm on its head, and instead connects conservation with the well-being of human communities, setting both up for success. Called “Full Nature,” this approach—pioneered by conservationist Ignacio Jiménez—seeks to promote fully functional natural landscapes that are tied to the basic needs of the communities in their midst. They become a self-sustaining cycle, where nature and people are integrated ecologically, socially, and politically. Effective Conservation is based on Jiménez’s experience managing conservation projects on three continents over thirty years. Jiménez offers a pragmatic approach to conservation that puts the focus on working with people—neighbors, governments, politicians, businesses, media—to ensure they have a long-term stake in protecting and restoring parks and wildlife. Jiménez guides readers through the practical considerations of designing, analyzing, and managing effective conservation programs. Chapters explore intelligence gathering, communication, planning, conflict management, and evaluation techniques, and include numerous text boxes showcasing examples of successful conservation projects from all continents. A companion website (islandpress.org/effective-conservation) includes additional case studies, expanded texts, and links to additional resources. This highly readable manual, newly translated into English after successful Spanish and Portuguese editions, provides a groundbreaking and time-proven formula for successful conservation projects around the world that bring together parks, people, and nature.
Download or read book Quantified written by Joe Whitworth and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2015-09-08 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Quantified, Whitworth draws lessons from the world's most tech-savvy, high-impact organizations to show how we can make real gains for the environment. The principles of his approach, dubbed quantified conservation, will be familiar to any thriving entrepreneur: situational awareness, bold outcomes, innovation and technology, data and analytics, and gain-focused investment. As President of The Freshwater Trust, Whitworth has put quantified conservation into practice, pioneering the model of a "do-tank" that is dramatically changing how rivers can get restored across the United States. The stories in Quantified highlight the most precious of resources--water--but they apply to any environmental effort. Whether in the realm of policy, agriculture, business, or philanthropy, Whitworth is charting a new course for conservation.
Book Synopsis Communication Skills for Conservation Professionals by : Susan Kay Jacobson
Download or read book Communication Skills for Conservation Professionals written by Susan Kay Jacobson and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2009-06-29 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether you are managing wetlands, protecting endangered species, or restoring ecosystems, you need to be able to communicate effectively in order to solve conservation and resource management problems. Communication Skills for Conservation Professionals can help you do just that— it is a practical and inspiring book that provides user-friendly guidance on achieving conservation goals through effective communication. Following introductory chapters that draw on research from communication, psychology, sociology, and education to highlight elements critical for effective communication, the book describes how to gather background information and target audiences, explains how public relations can influence attitudes and behaviors, and outlines how to design and conduct a communications campaign. In addition, it provides step-by-step guidance for using print, broadcast, and electronic mass media; demonstrates methods for developing public talks, interpretive brochures, exhibits, and trails; and explores long-term conservation education strategies for students and adults. This second edition of a widely praised book, originally published in 1999, includes new material on working with stakeholders, volunteers, and other groups to multiply conservation success. It also expands on the use of electronic media with examples of conservation Web pages, blogs, e-newsletters, and other new media. The book’ s citations have been updated to include a host of Web sites and other electronic sources useful for planning and implementing communication programs. Communication Skills for Conservation Professionals is a valuable addition to the conservationist’ s toolbox that will help scientists, managers, concerned citizens, and students communicate more effectively.
Book Synopsis Speaking of Forms of Life by : Claudio Campagna
Download or read book Speaking of Forms of Life written by Claudio Campagna and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-11-26 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humans pose an unprecedented threat to life in all its great diversity of forms. The human-induced extinction rate has been compared to “mass extinctions” of the past. But this language masks the fact that the crisis is due to voluntary, and thus, avoidable choices and actions. “Speaking of Forms of Life” shows that at the root of this crisis is the tragic inadequacy of the language predominantly used to represent and address what we are doing, including the language of “sustainable development,” “rights” for animals and the rest of nature, their “intrinsic value,” and conservation of species as “populations.” This talk alienates us from the other living things, from what they actually are, have and do, and it perpetuates the harm and loss. Campagna and Guevara compellingly argue, on rigorous but accessible grounds, that there is an alternative language to guide conservation, in confronting the radically urgent, ethical issues it faces. This is a language with which we are all familiar, mastered by naturalists, from Aristotle to Audubon. It articulates the primary value in life and the standard that must guide how human beings should live, as one form of life, among countless others. This book is a homecoming for those who practice conservation to, above all else, secure a creature’s ability to satisfy the necessities of its form of life.

Book Synopsis Triage in Conservation by : Matt W. Hayward
Download or read book Triage in Conservation written by Matt W. Hayward and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2018-03-19 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ecosystems and their constituent species the world over face a barrage of ongoing, and often escalating, threats. Conservation efforts aim to reduce the impact of these threats to ensure that global biodiversity continues to provide essential ecosystem services. As is most often the case, these efforts to protect threatened species and their environments are constrained by limited resources. Conservation biologists have therefore had to increase the efficiency of their conservation practices to deliver the greatest benefit at the lowest cost. This requires decision making using the best available knowledge to prioritise actions. A concept that has received considerable attention in this area is that of conservation triage. This eBook brings together perspectives from researchers and conservation practitioners who share their views and results in an effort to extend the discussion on this topic. A number of the papers in this eBook tackle the philosophical elements of conservation triage, while others take a more directed practical approach providing examples from conservation practice globally.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: يتزايد الإهتمام بعلم صيانة والآثار والمقتنيات الثقافية والتاريخية بصورة مطردة ومستمرة للحفاظ علي التراث وضمان استمرار بقاؤه لأطول فترة زمنية ممكنة دون التأثير علي أصالته أو المساس بهويته. و كنتاج ذلك الإهتمام يتم نشر العديد من الأبحاث والدراسات والمقالات والدوريات التي تتضمن نتائج جديدة واسهامات قيمة في مجال علاج وصيانة الآثار بالجامعات والمعاهد البحثية في مختلف بلدان العالم. وكما نعلم أن اللغة الإنجليزية هي اللغة المعتمدة دولياً لنشر الأبحاث العلمية وبالتالي فإن عدم الإلمام بها يمثل عقبة كبيرة في سبيل الإطلاع علي الأبحاث العلمية والإستفادة بها في مجال علاج وصيانة الآثار. وخلال عملي كمسئول عن برامج التدريب التي نظمها مركز البحوث الأمريكي لتدريب العاملين بالمجلس الأعلي للآثار بمنطقة الأقصر، تم الإستعانة بخبراء في مجال الترميم من عدة دول مثل الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية وانجلترا وفرنسا وإيطاليا لتدريب المرممين المصريين علي أهم التقنيات والأساليب العلمية الحديثة المستخدمة في علاج وصيانة الآثار بصفة عامة والأحجار والرسوم الجدارية بصفة خاصة حيث يمثلان الغالبية العضمي من آثار البر الشرقي بالأقصر خاصة آثار معبدي الكرنك والأقصر. كانت اللغة هي أهم التحديات التي واجهتنا في تدريب المرممين المصريين عن طريق خبراء لا يتحدثون اللغة العربية ، وقد تم التغلب علي ذلك بتوفير ترجمة فورية شرفت بتقديمها إلي المتدربين ، ولكن لا شك أن التواصل المباشر بين المدرب والمتدرب أكثر فائدة من تلقي المعلومة من خلال ترجمة قد تكون غير دقيقة في كثير من الأحيان. من هنا بدأ التفكير في عمل معجم لأهم المصطلحات العلمية المتخصصة المتداولة في الكتب و الأبحاث والدوريات والمقالات الدولية المنشورة باللغة الإنجليزية وترجمتها إلي اللغة العربية مع شرح لبعض المصطلحات التي يصعب ترجمتها في كلمة واحدة وفي بعض الأحيان تم تقديم بعض الأمثلة لتوضيح المعني للقارئ. ونظراً لتنوع فروع علم الصيانة (الترميم) بحسب المواد الأثرية المختلفة ، استقر الرأي علي عمل سلسلة متخصصة من المعاجم يختص كل منها بترجمة المصطلحات المتعلقة بنوع أو عدة نواع من الآثار تشترك في بعض المفاهيم والأسس العلمية لعلاجها وصيانتها. وما بين أيدينا الآن هو الجزء الأول من هذه السلسلة وهو خاص بأهم المصطلحات العلمية والفنية المرتبطة بعلاج وصيانة الأحجار والرسوم الجدارية وقد حاولت جاهداً أن أتناول فيه معظم المصطلحات المتداولة في الكتب والأبحاث العلمية المنشورة والموثقة للحفاظ علي دقة المعلومة المقدمة للقارئ. وفي النهاية فإن عملية التعليم عملية لا نهائية، كلما نتعلم شئ ندرك دائماً أن هناك المزيد، لذا فإن هذا القاموس يعد خطوة أولية علي طريق بلا نهاية نأمل أن يكون مفيداً لك عزيزي القارئ. المؤلف

Book Synopsis Key Topics in Conservation Biology 2 by : David W. Macdonald
Download or read book Key Topics in Conservation Biology 2 written by David W. Macdonald and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-02-06 with total page 641 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the much acclaimed success of the first volume of Key Topics in Conservation Biology, this entirely new second volume addresses an innovative array of key topics in contemporary conservation biology. Written by an internationally renowned team of authors, Key Topics in Conservation Biology 2 adds to the still topical foundations laid in the first volume (published in 2007) by exploring a further 25 cutting-edge issues in modern biodiversity conservation, including controversial subjects such as setting conservation priorities, balancing the focus on species and ecosystems, and financial mechanisms to value biodiversity and pay for its conservation. Other chapters, setting the framework for conservation, address the sociology and philosophy of peoples’ relation with Nature and its impact on health, and such challenging practical issues as wildlife trade and conflict between people and carnivores. As a new development, this second volume of Key Topics includes chapters on major ecosystems, such as forests, islands and both fresh and marine waters, along with case studies of the conservation of major taxa: plants, butterflies, birds and mammals. A further selection of topics consider how to safeguard the future through monitoring, reserve planning, corridors and connectivity, together with approaches to reintroduction and re-wilding, along with managing wildlife disease. A final chapter, by the editors, synthesises thinking on the relationship between biodiversity conservation and human development. Each topic is explored by a team of top international experts, assembled to bring their own cross-cutting knowledge to a penetrating synthesis of the issues from both theoretical and practical perspectives. The interdisciplinary nature of biodiversity conservation is reflected throughout the book. Each essay examines the fundamental principles of the topic, the methodologies involved and, crucially, the human dimension. In this way, Key Topics in Conservation Biology 2, like its sister volume, Key Topics in Conservation Biology, embraces issues from cutting-edge ecological science to policy, environmental economics, governance, ethics, and the practical issues of implementation. Key Topics in Conservation Biology 2 will, like its sister volume, be a valuable resource in universities and colleges, government departments, and conservation agencies. It is aimed particularly at senior undergraduate and graduate students in conservation biology and wildlife management and wider ecological and environmental subjects, and those taking Masters degrees in any field relevant to conservation and the environment. Conservation practitioners, policy-makers, and the wider general public eager to understand more about important environmental issues will also find this book invaluable.

Book Synopsis Biocultural Diversity Conservation by : Luisa Maffi
Download or read book Biocultural Diversity Conservation written by Luisa Maffi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-09-10 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of biocultural diversity is emerging as a dynamic, integrative approach to understanding the links between nature and culture and the interrelationships between humans and the environment at scales from the global to the local. Its multifaceted contributions have ranged from theoretical elaborations, to mappings of the overlapping distributions of biological and cultural diversity, to the development of indicators as tools to measure, assess, and monitor the state and trends of biocultural diversity, to on-the-ground implementation in field projects. This book is a unique compendium and analysis of projects from all around the world that take an integrated biocultural approach to sustaining cultures and biodiversity. The 45 projects reviewed exemplify a new focus in conservation: this is based on the emerging realization that protecting and restoring biodiversity and maintaining and revitalizing cultural diversity and cultural vitality are intimately, indeed inextricably, interrelated.
