Iniciativas para la sustentabilidad. Transformando personas, construyendo país
En esta obra se reúnen las iniciativas, pero también las experiencias vividas, por las y los autores que han participado como estudiantes de distintas promociones de las siete primeras versiones del Diplomado en Educación para el Desarrollo Sustentable y cómo este, tanto en la interacción del ejercicio académico de intercambio de saberes como la experiencia –en sí misma– de haberlo cursado ha significado en su desarrollo como persona y en la ejecución de su iniciativa en el colectivo al que pertenece. Consideramos, entonces, que el mayor mérito de este libro es presentar la huella que ha dejado en las y los autores de las iniciativas este diplomado surgido en una época de movilizaciones sociales por una educación gratuita y de calidad que ha marcado a la sociedad chilena.
Towards a sustainable, participatory and inclusive wild meat sector
The meat of wild species, referred to in this report as ‘wild meat’, is an essential source of protein and a generator of income for millions of forest-living communities in tropical and subtropical regions. However, unsustainable harvest rates currently
Freshwater Fishes of México
Exploring ecological, biological, and taxonomic issues, the book also considers the evolutionary history of the ichthyofauna themselves and chronicles the research of the scientists who have worked in the field in the last several centuries."--Jacket.
On the Nature of Ecological Paradox
This work is a large, powerfully illustrated interdisciplinary natural sciences volume, the first of its kind to examine the critically important nature of ecological paradox, through an abundance of lenses: the biological sciences, taxonomy, archaeology, geopolitical history, comparative ethics, literature, philosophy, the history of science, human geography, population ecology, epistemology, anthropology, demographics, and futurism. The ecological paradox suggests that the human biological–and from an insular perspective, successful–struggle to exist has come at the price of isolating H. sapiens from life-sustaining ecosystem services, and far too much of the biodiversity with which we...
Beyond Mobility
"Beyond Mobility" also seeks to rethink how projects are planned and designed in cities and suburbs at multiple geographic scales, from micro-designs such as parklets to corridors and city-regions. The book closes with a reflection on the opportunities and challenges in moving beyond mobility, with attention to emerging technologies such as self-driving cars and ride-hailing services and social equity topics such as accessibility, livability, and affordability.
Stream Ecology
Running waters are enormously diverse, ranging from torrential mountain brooks, to large lowland rivers, to great river systems whose basins occupy subcontinents. While this diversity makes river ecosystems seem overwhelmingly complex, a central theme of this volume is that the processes acting in running waters are general, although the settings are often unique. The past two decades have seen major advances in our knowledge of the ecology of streams and rivers. New paradigms have emerged, such as the river continuum and nutrient spiraling. Community ecologists have made impressive advances in documenting the occurrence of species interactions. The importance of physical processes in rivers...
Guidelines for Applying Protected Area Management Categories
IUCN's Protected Areas Management Categories, which classify protected areas according to their management objectives, are today accepted as the benchmark for defining, recording, and classifying protected areas. They are recognized by international bodies such as the United Nations as well as many national governments. As a result, they are increasingly being incorporated into government legislation. These guidelines provide as much clarity as possible regarding the meaning and application of the Categories. They describe the definition of the Categories and discuss application in particular biomes and management approaches.
