Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic marks the most significant, singular global disruption since World War II, with health, economic, political, and security implications that will ripple for years to come." -Global Trends 2040 (2021) Global Trends 2040-A More Contested World (2021), released by the US National Intelligence Council, is the latest report in its series of reports starting in 1997 about megatrends and the world's future. This report, strongly influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, paints a bleak picture of the future and describes a contested, fragmented and turbulent world. It specifically discusses the four main trends that will shape tomorrow's world: - Demographics-by 2040, 1.4 billion people will be added mostly in Africa and South Asia. - Economics-increased government debt and concentrated economic power will escalate problems for the poor and middleclass. - Climate-a hotter world will increase water, food, and health insecurity. - Technology-the emergence of new technologies could both solve and cause problems for human life. Students of trends, policymakers, entrepreneurs, academics, journalists and anyone eager for a glimpse into the next decades, will find this report, with colored graphs, essential reading.

Book excerpt: Drafting a Conservation Blueprint lays out for the first time in book form a step-by-step planning process for conserving the biological diversity of entire regions. In an engaging and accessible style, the author explains how to develop a regional conservation plan and offers experience-based guidance that brings together relevant information from the fields of ecology, conservation biology, planning, and policy. Individual chapters outline and discuss the main steps of the planning process, including: • an overview of the planning framework • selecting conservation targets and setting goals • assessing existing conservation areas and filling information gaps • assessing population viability and ecological integrity • selecting and designing a portfolio of conservation areas • assessing threats and setting priorities A concluding section offers advice on turning conservation plans into action, along with specific examples from around the world. The book brings together a wide range of information about conservation planning that is grounded in both a strong scientific foundation and in the realities of implementation.

Download or read book Ecosystems of California written by Harold Mooney and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2016-01-19 with total page 1009 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This long-anticipated reference and sourcebook for California’s remarkable ecological abundance provides an integrated assessment of each major ecosystem type—its distribution, structure, function, and management. A comprehensive synthesis of our knowledge about this biologically diverse state, Ecosystems of California covers the state from oceans to mountaintops using multiple lenses: past and present, flora and fauna, aquatic and terrestrial, natural and managed. Each chapter evaluates natural processes for a specific ecosystem, describes drivers of change, and discusses how that ecosystem may be altered in the future. This book also explores the drivers of California’s ecological patterns and the history of the state’s various ecosystems, outlining how the challenges of climate change and invasive species and opportunities for regulation and stewardship could potentially affect the state’s ecosystems. The text explicitly incorporates both human impacts and conservation and restoration efforts and shows how ecosystems support human well-being. Edited by two esteemed ecosystem ecologists and with overviews by leading experts on each ecosystem, this definitive work will be indispensable for natural resource management and conservation professionals as well as for undergraduate or graduate students of California’s environment and curious naturalists.

Book excerpt: The "Assessment of Assessments" (AoA) is a start-up phase of a regular process for global reporting and assessment of the state of the marine environment including socio-economic aspects. AoA represents the most comprehensive initiative undertaken to date by the UN system to better coordinate ocean governance. Its central recommendation calls for a mechanism that builds on existing global, regional and national institutions and processes while integrating all available information, including socio-economic data, on how our seas and oceans are actually being used.--Publisher's description.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Accurate estimates of wetlands and stream extent provide context for scientific investigations, enable informed management, and measure progress towards no-net-loss policy goals. However, the default approach for monitoring extent, comprehensive mapping, is prohibitively resource intensive over large areas, making it both impractical and statistically unreliable. Therefore, a number of national and state-level programs have begun to employ probabilistic approaches to monitor wetland and stream extent. These programs have proven practical for their intended applications but little information exists about the ability of the designs to meet diverse, state-level information needs such as accurately capturing rare wetland types or detecting small-scale changes in extent or spatial distribution. Here, I utilized a simulated sampling approach to empirically model and evaluate probabilistic methods for monitoring wetland and stream extent in California. The optimized design was then directly validated against comprehensive mapping through a pilot-scale implementation. The flexibility of the simulated sampling method enabled assessment of performance for a variety of objectives, beyond statistical precision. By employing this unique approach to sampling design, the results could be customized for the specific information needs of California. Results indicate that generalized random tessellation stratified (GRTS) sampling, a spatially balanced selection methodology, provides significant advantages over simple random sampling or stratification. In addition, fixed sampling locations over time provide the best power for both estimating the current extent and detecting changes in extent over time. The pilot-scale implementation was conducted in two separate regions of California. By using regions with existing, comprehensive aquatic resource maps, a direct comparison was made between the probabilistic and comprehensive mapping efforts. The pilot produced precise estimates of aquatic resource extent but suggested that mapping and classification methodologies may require more standardization in order to compare estimates between probabilistic approaches and comprehensive maps. In addition to systematic methodological differences, additional simulated sampling suggests that the expected accuracy of the 95% confidence interval is, in fact, dependent on the sample size. Final design conclusions from this dissertation will be recommended to the State of California for implementation in a California S & T program for aquatic resource extent.
