Sejarah gereja merupakan catatan peristiwa-peristiwa masa lampau dan pada dasarnya sejarah gereja berbeda dengan sejarah-sejarah kebuda- yaan secara umum maupun aliran-aliran keagamaan lainnya. Sebab gereja yang berdiri bukan karena kekuatan dan keahlian seseorang, tetapi karya Roh Kudus untuk memanggil orang-orang yang dipakai-Nya menjadi pem- buka jalan kebenaran dan melalui pribadi-pribadi yang meneruskan, sehing- ga terbentuklah sebuah kumpulan orang-orang percaya. Oleh karena, di antara mereka telah menikmati kasih Bapa, menerima kuasa mujizat, memperoleh kesembuhan, perubahan hidup. Dari sinilah kita mengerti dan memahami apa maksud sejarah gereja, yaitu bagaimana kum- pulan orang-oran...
Restoration ecology, as a scientific discipline, developed from practitioners’ efforts to restore degraded land, with interest also coming from applied ecologists attracted by the potential for restoration projects to apply and/or test developing theories on ecosystem development. Since then, forest landscape restoration (FLR) has emerged as a practical approach to forest restoration particularly in developing countries, where an approach which is both large-scale and focuses on meeting human needs is required. Yet despite increased investigation into both the biological and social aspects of FLR, there has so far been little success in systematically integrating these two complementary st...
This book focuses on central themes related to the conservation of bats. It details their response to land-use change and management practices, intensified urbanization and roost disturbance and loss. Increasing interactions between humans and bats as a result of hunting, disease relationships, occupation of human dwellings, and conflict over fruit crops are explored in depth. Finally, contributors highlight the roles that taxonomy, conservation networks and conservation psychology have to play in conserving this imperilled but vital taxon. With over 1300 species, bats are the second largest order of mammals, yet as the Anthropocene dawns, bat populations around the world are in decline. Greater understanding of the anthropogenic drivers of this decline and exploration of possible mitigation measures are urgently needed if we are to retain global bat diversity in the coming decades. This book brings together teams of international experts to provide a global review of current understanding and recommend directions for future research and mitigation.
Poverty, food insecurity, biodiversity and habitat loss are persistent global challenges that are further exacerbated by the impacts of climate change. These challenges are particularly hard felt in the tropical landscapes of the global South where tensions between local socio-economic and international environmental commitments are pervasive. Due to the apparent failure of sectorial approaches to address such challenges, more holistic strategies are being increasingly promoted. Integrated landscape approaches are one such example; essentially a governance strategy that engages multiple stakeholders to reconcile societal and environmental objectives at the landscape scale to identify trade-o...
