Download or read book Ecological Monitoring and Research at Kejimkujik National Park, 1978-92 written by and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A national network for ecosystem monitoring and assessment has been proposed to provide integrated ecological information for use in determining ecological consequences of various environmental stresses. In the Atlantic Maritime Ecozone, Kejimkujik National Park has been proposed as a candidate site for this network, since it is protected from development which may endanger long-term monitoring and assessment, is generally representative of the Ecozone, and has a key role in the acid precipitation monitoring network. This report discusses past, current, and future monitoring activity at the Park. The park site is described in terms of its spatial representativeness, science partnerships, and other aspects which suit its inclusion as part of a national ecosystem monitoring network. The appendix includes: a list of current research projects in the Park area; a brief chronology of Park events; and an extensive bibliography on the aquatic and terrestrial effects of acid precipitation.

Book Synopsis Science and the Management of Protected Areas by : J. H. Martin Willison
Download or read book Science and the Management of Protected Areas written by J. H. Martin Willison and published by Elsevier Publishing Company. This book was released on 1992 with total page 588 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a result of the consumption of wildland by the demands of a growing world human population, parks and other protected areas are becoming increasingly important. The role of science in the effective management of such areas is a critical consideration if protected areas are to serve their several functions as recreational areas, heritage and educational resources, wildlife refuges, natural repositories of endangered species, reference sites for scientific research, and sites set aside simply for their intrinsic natural value as wilderness. In this volume strategies to combat accelerating decline in global biodiversity are put forward. Legal protection requires explicit strategies for the management of natural systems, such as the scientific approach to land use planning and reserve selection and design. Science should play an essential role in assisting in the definition of strategic objectives and providing means for the realization of those objectives. The natural systems requiring protection are dynamic and management objectives are of necessity very long term.Science and the Management of Protected Areas provides a wealth of information on floral and faunal management, global change research, water quality, human impacts and tourism. It is the first book ever to bring together the perspectives of both environmental scientists and the administrative managers of protected areas and, as such, it will be useful to both the scientific community and to Land Managers.

Book Synopsis Transformative Politics of Nature by : Andrea Olive
Download or read book Transformative Politics of Nature written by Andrea Olive and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2023-10-02 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transformative Politics of Nature highlights the most significant barriers to conservation in Canada and discusses strategies to confront and overcome them. Featuring contributions from academics as well as practitioners, the volume brings together the perspectives of both Indigenous and non-Indigenous experts on land and wildlife conservation, in a way that honours and respects all peoples and nature. Contributors provide insights that enhance understanding of key barriers, important actors, and strategies for shaping policy at multiple levels of government across Canada. The chapters engage academics, environmental conservation organizations, and Indigenous communities in dialogues and explorations of the politics of wildlife conservation. They address broad and interrelated themes, organized into three parts: barriers to conservation, transformation through reconciliation, and transformation through policy and governance. Taken together, the essays demonstrate the need for increased social-political awareness of biodiversity and conservation in Canada, enhanced wildlife conservation collaborative networks, and increased scholarly attention to the principles, policies, and practices of maintaining and restoring nature for the benefit of all peoples, species, and ecologies. Transformative Politics of Nature presents a vision of profound change in the way humans relate to each other and with the natural world.

Book Synopsis Conservation of the Endangered Piping Plover (Charadrius Melodus) in Canada's National Parks by : Gary Neil Corbett
Download or read book Conservation of the Endangered Piping Plover (Charadrius Melodus) in Canada's National Parks written by Gary Neil Corbett and published by Halifax, N.S. : Parks Canada, Atlantic Region. This book was released on 1997 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The piping plover is a shorebird listed as endangered which breeds in only three Canadian national parks. This study compares a five-year dataset (1983-87) collected before special protection measures were implemented in 1988, with a five-year data set immediately following implementation (1988-92). The protection measures included closing to public use of nesting areas vulnerable to human disturbance, and protection of nests from depredation by wire mesh enclosures. In addition, comprehensive interpretation and public education programs have sought co-operation and support from the beach-using public. Results presented include nesting and hatching success, fledging success, survival rates, nest predation and abandonment rates, and nest losses due to storm flooding.
Book Synopsis The History and Ecology of Fire in Kejimkujik National Park by : Sean Basquill
Download or read book The History and Ecology of Fire in Kejimkujik National Park written by Sean Basquill and published by [Halifax] : Parks Canada. This book was released on 2001 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study illustrates the significant role fire has played in the history of Kejimkujik National Park, one of the most fire-prone areas in the Acadian forest of Nova Scotia. Functional correlation between past fire occurrences and present-day forest ecology was determined using data drawn from a blending of both field & archival sources. The data were employed to determine the park's historic fire regime, to define the role of fire as a driving force in forest succession & retrogression, and to identify the park's signature pattern of post-fire forest communities & seral stages. The results reveal the significance of fire in sustaining the ecological integrity of the park and in providing a contextual framework for effective fire management. Appendices include lists of plant species found in the park, copies of forms used in the field studies, data on forest age structure & tree density, summaries of historical fire reports & archival data on fires in the park, information on fire scar physiognomy & sampling, and copies of available Parks Canada fire reports for the park, 1968-2000.
