Concord
Located in central Contra Costa County in the shadow of Mount Diablo, the land that includes Concord was originally a Mexican land grant given to Don Salvio Pacheco in 1834. The original Mexican land grant families of Concord were quickly supplanted by American settlers during the Gold Rush in the 1840s and 1850s. The original Spanish name for the town, Todos Santos, was changed to Concord by the American settlers and their local newspaper, against the wishes of the Pacheco family. The name stuck, and the town became Concord in 1869. Now a town of over 120,000 people, Concord's development is a true American story of Native Americans, Spanish explorers, Mexican Californios, and settlers from across the country and around the world.
Guanacos and People in Patagonia
This book relates one of the most representative species of Patagonian wildlife, the guanaco, to human societies across time, and explores how that relationship has changed over time due to different land uses and productive interests. The book provides information to understand these interactions, and contextualizes the current situation of this species. In some cases, it proposes possible solutions to conflicts, and also shows ongoing activities aimed at sustainable use and conservation. The audience for this book includes researchers, graduate students, policy makers and conservation and rural development professionals. In addition, it will serve as a tool for application authorities and field technicians on the use and conservation of wildlife, to define management actions for this species.
La era del oro y sus incertidumbres
La meseta central santacruceña, ubicada en la Patagonia Austral, tiene una extensión de catorce millones de hectáreas y es muy diversa en cuanto a población establecida y actividades económicas. La actividad minera de esa zona genera lo que textos académicos denominan mega ganancias y en las tres décadas que lleva instalada en la provincia, ha tenido y tiene notorio impacto en las localidades que rodean la meseta. De esas mega ganancias, un pequeño porcentaje queda en la provincia y en algunas localidades a través de diversos dispositivos de responsabilidad social empresarial. En el noroeste, millones de dólares llegan al territorio bajo la figura de filantropía y financian la compra de cientos de miles de hectáreas de tierras. Sobre estos temas, algunas preocupaciones y ciertas incertidumbres tratan los capítulos de este libro.

Conservation Trusts
In the wake of the Exxon Valdez oil spill, a conservation trust helped stabilize and regenerate the damaged area. When bird habitats along the Platte River were threatened by Grayrocks Dam, a similar trust came to their rescue. And if a family wants to protect its land for future generations, establishing a trust may be the best solution. For more than a century, bequests of land and funds for environmental protection have been common, but in recent decades the trusts used to address conservation issues and resolve environmental disputes have diversified and grown significantly. This book examines a variety of conservation organizations built on or close to trust principles—some government...
