Management of Water Resources in Protected Areas
Natural ecosystems are heavily dependent on water, as it is essential to the development of life. The ecology and landscape play an important role in the quality and availability of water. It is no coincidence that exceptional hydrological phenomena are found in protected areas. Such is the case with, for example, the geothermic occurrences (principally, geysers) in America's Yellowstone National Park , the oldest park in the world. The Ramsar wetlands (where the ecosystem’s dependency on water is strongly evident), The Iguaçu Falls (on the border of Argentina and Brazil), or the Zapata Swamp (the largest of its kind on the Caribbean island of Cuba) further exemplify this point. However, ...
Antropología pública de la conservación
Desde el ámbito de la antropología de la conservación, se analizan los procesos de declaración, desarrollo y gestión de las áreas protegidas y, en concreto, mediante una selección de casos de estudio, los de los parques naturales. Con una mirada crítica, holística y comparativa, se examinan las políticas conservacionistas orientadas a la planificación, reordenación y participación en espacios socioecosistémicos con dinámicas socioculturales complejas. Los distintos capítulos se articulan transversalmente en torno a la reivindicación de la antropología pública de la conservación y comparten un objetivo central: reflexionar sobre las áreas protegidas con una voluntad transformadora y diseñar la implementación de acciones efectivas para su conservación.
Advances in Research in Karst Media
The Malaga Symposia Series provides an international forum for scientific debate on the progress made in research into karst environments. The 2010 meeting of the 4th International ISKA presents 80 papers in four key areas: karst hydrogeology and investigations, karst landscape and ecosystems, human interaction with karst environments, and engineering geology in karst areas. This book will be a useful edition to the libraries of consultants, scientists, lecturers, and policy makers concerned with the special issues of karst terrains.
