Book Synopsis Gestion des habitats naturels et biodiversité by : BOUZILLÉ Jan-Bernard
Download or read book Gestion des habitats naturels et biodiversité written by BOUZILLÉ Jan-Bernard and published by Lavoisier. This book was released on 2007-07-18 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La mise en place du réseau des zones spéciales de conservation par le biais de l'opération Natura 2000, l'établissement des plans de gestion des parcs nationaux et des réserves naturelles de France, le transfert aux régions de la responsabilité de sites sensibles les nombreux programmes de sauvegarde de la biodiversité nécessitent la mise en uvre d'outils et de démarches pratiques peu intégrés dans la formation actuelle des écologistes. Gestion des habitats naturels et biodiversité vient combler cette lacune : en s'appuyant sur les concepts les plus récents de l'écologie des communautés, de l'écologie de la conservation et de la restauration, ainsi que de la phytosociologie cet ouvrage s'attache à l'élaboration de démarches raisonnées pour définir des modalités appropriées de gestion des habitats naturels. Gestion des habitats naturels et biodiversité vise un double objectif : présenter précisément des méthodes de travail pour donner au lecteur les moyens de les mettre en uvre pratiquement , exposer des concepts actuels indispensables pour conduire des opérations de gestion qui respectent une démarche scientifique raisonnée et rigoureuse. La première partie de l'ouvrage traite de l'identification des habitats en ayant recours aux démarches de la phytosociologie. L'auteur réintroduit cette discipline en tant que maillon essentiel de la connaissance des milieux et propose des informations pratiques permettant d'en exploiter les résultats (méthodes d'analyse numérique, utilisation des logiciels). Cet ouvrage est le premier à proposer un tel apprentissage à ces méthodes. Le deuxième volet du livre faire le point sur les concepts les plus récents de l'écologie des communautés, en particulier des communautés végétales. De même sont présentés les derniers développements de l'écologie de la conservation et de la restauration. S'appuyant sur des références internationales, les démarches scientifiques proposées sont inédites en langue française.
Book Synopsis Restoring Natural Capital by : James Aronson
Download or read book Restoring Natural Capital written by James Aronson and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2012-09-26 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can environmental degradation be stopped? How can it be reversed? And how can the damage already done be repaired? The authors of this volume argue that a two-pronged approach is needed: reducing demand for ecosystem goods and services and better management of them, coupled with an increase in supply through environmental restoration. Restoring Natural Capital brings together economists and ecologists, theoreticians, practitioners, policy makers, and scientists from the developed and developing worlds to consider the costs and benefits of repairing ecosystem goods and services in natural and socioecological systems. It examines the business and practice of restoring natural capital, and seeks to establish common ground between economists and ecologists with respect to the restoration of degraded ecosystems and landscapes and the still broader task of restoring natural capital. The book focuses on developing strategies that can achieve the best outcomes in the shortest amount of time as it: • considers conceptual and theoretical issues from both an economic and ecological perspective • examines specific strategies to foster the restoration of natural capital and offers a synthesis and a vision of the way forward Nineteen case studies from around the world illustrate challenges and achievements in setting targets, refining approaches to finding and implementing restoration projects, and using restoration of natural capital as an economic opportunity. Throughout, contributors make the case that the restoration of natural capital requires close collaboration among scientists from across disciplines as well as local people, and when successfully executed represents a practical, realistic, and essential tool for achieving lasting sustainable development.

Book Synopsis Conservation de la biodiversité et état de référence by : Laurent Godet
Download or read book Conservation de la biodiversité et état de référence written by Laurent Godet and published by ISTE Group. This book was released on 2023-01-20 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’ère de l’Anthropocène est marquée par une pression humaine si forte qu’elle a conduit à la sixième extinction de masse. La notion d’état de référence appliquée au domaine de la conservation de la biodiversité permet d’appréhender la domination des humains sur Terre comme un processus de modification de nos paysages qui n’est ni linéaire ni homogène. Conservation de la biodiversité et état de référence s’articule autour de trois points clés. Il définit d’abord où et quand tout a « mal tourné », réfléchit ensuite à l’utilisation des états de référence pour élaborer des stratégies de conservation et propose enfin des exemples d’application concrète de la notion d’état de référence sur le littoral, la forêt et les paysages agropastoraux. La conservation de la biodiversité est aujourd’hui confrontée à des choix nécessaires : revenir à des états moins modifiés par les humains qu’aujourd’hui, mais dans un monde qui a beaucoup changé ; laisser la nature de demain s’exprimer là où elle le peut encore, mais sans aucune feuille de route ; ou encore construire des alternatives basées sur des projets territoriaux.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains the papers presented at the conferences of the International Association Vegetation Science of Pirenopolis (2016) on Applied Mapping for Conservation and Management: from Plant and of Palermo (2017) on Vegetation Patterns in relation to multi-scale levels of ecological complexity: from associations to geoseries. The reports refer to general themes (semiological bases of mapping, dynamic-catenal mapping, nature conservation, plant biodiversity, biogeography, and geosynphytosociology) and their application to vegetation in different parts of the world (Andes of Bolivia, California, Kaga Coast in Japan, Southeastern USA, Morocco, Europe: Carpathians mountains, Swiss Alps, Sicily, Southern Portugal, Spain, and French Atlantic coastal). One of the benefits of the book is that it offers the possibility of comparing the different methodologies used in very different types of vegetation in the world (Boreal, Mediterranean, Tropical, Neotropical, etc.). The book is intended for researchers, Ph.D. students, and university professors.
Book Synopsis Biodiversity Offsets by : Wolfgang Wende
Download or read book Biodiversity Offsets written by Wolfgang Wende and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-03-07 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with the new concept of biodiversity offsets. The aim of offsetting schemes is to achieve no let loss or even net gain of biodiversity. Offsets obey a mitigation hierarchy and reflect the precautionary and polluter-pays principle in regard to project impacts. Readers gain insights into current debates on biodiversity policies, with top experts outlining theoretical principles and the latest research findings. At the same time the focus is on practical application and case studies. Today there is a lively international discussion among practitioners and scientists on the optimal legal framework, metrics and design of habitat banks to ensure the success of biodiversity offsets and to minimise the risks of failure or misuse. Contributing to the debate, this volume presents the activities and practices of biodiversity offsetting already implemented in Europe in selected EU member states, and the lessons that can be learnt from them. Readers may be surprised at how much experience already exists in these countries. A further aim of the book is to offer grounded insights on the road ahead, and foster a more intensive and fruitful discussion on how offsetting can be extended and improved upon, so that it becomes a key and effective component of Europe’s biodiversity conservation policy framework.

Book excerpt: Richard Leakey, One Of The World's Foremost Experts On Man's Evolutionary Past, Now Turns His Eye To The Future And Doesn't Like What He Sees. To the philosophical the earth is eternal, while the human race -- presumptive keeper of the world's history -- is a mere speck in the rich stream of life. It is known that nothing upon Earth is forever; geography, climate, and plant and animal life are all subject to radical change. On five occasions in the past, catastrophic natural events have caused mass extinctions on Earth. But today humans stand alone, in dubious distinction, among Earth's species: Homo Sapiens possesses the ability to destroy entire species at will, to trigger the sixth extinction in the history of life. In The Sixth Extinction, Richard Leakey and Roger Lewin consider how the grand sprawl of human life is inexorably wreaking havoc around the world. The authors of Origins and Origins Reconsidered, unimpeachable authorities on the human fossil record, turn their attention to the most uncharted anthropological territory of all: the future, and man's role in defining it. According to Leakey and Lewin, man and his surrounding species are end products of history and chance. Now, however, humans have the unique opportunity to recognize their influence on the global ecosystem, and consciously steer the outcome in order to avoid triggering an unimaginable upheaval.

Download or read book The State of the World's Biodiversity for Food and Agriculture written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2019-03-12 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The State of the World's Biodiversity for Food and Agriculture presents the first global assessment of biodiversity for food and agriculture worldwide. Biodiversity for food and agriculture is the diversity of plants, animals and micro-organisms at genetic, species and ecosystem levels, present in and around crop, livestock, forest and aquatic production systems. It is essential to the structure, functions and processes of these systems, to livelihoods and food security, and to the supply of a wide range of ecosystem services. It has been managed or influenced by farmers, livestock keepers, forest dwellers, fish farmers and fisherfolk for hundreds of generations. Prepared through a participatory, country-driven process, the report draws on information from 91 country reports to provide a description of the roles and importance of biodiversity for food and agriculture, the drivers of change affecting it and its current status and trends. It describes the state of efforts to promote the sustainable use and conservation of biodiversity for food and agriculture, including through the development of supporting policies, legal frameworks, institutions and capacities. It concludes with a discussion of needs and challenges in the future management of biodiversity for food and agriculture. The report complements other global assessments prepared under the auspices of the Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture, which have focused on the state of genetic resources within particular sectors of food and agriculture.
