Historias humanas de perros y gatos es el libro que todo amante de los animales de compañía debería tener, por su rico contenido en his – torias fascinantes sobre ellos. Es interesante desde los relatos del propio autor, Gustavo Castro Caycedo, con Chigüiro y Don Gato, los dos felinos que lo llevaron a comprender el valor de estos seres sintientes; hasta los rela – tos narrados por varios personajes nacionales e internacionales, que han mejorado la vida de estos entrañables animales, y que incluso los han "rescatado" de una vida triste, llevándolos a vivir con ellos. Castro Caycedo hace un recorrido por dos de las especies animales que más han acompañado al ser humano a través de la historia siendo a veces más humanos que sus mismos dueños, los gatos y los perros; de ahí el nombre de este libro.

Agroforestry has great potential for reducing deforestation and forest degradation, providing rural livelihoods and habitats for species outside formally protected land, and alleviating resource-use pressure on conservation areas. However, widespread adoption of agroforestry innovations is still constrained by a myriad of factors including design features of candidate agroforestry innovations, perceived needs, policies, availability and distribution of factors of production, and perception of risks. Understanding the science, and factors that regulate the adoption, of agroforestry and how they impact the implementation of agroforestry is vitally important. Agroforestry for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services: Science and Practice examines design features and management practices of some agroforestry practices and their impact on biodiversity and the ecosystem services it delivers. It also identifies policy issues for facilitating adoption of desirable agroforestry practices and gradual diminution of undesirable policies.
