Gro Vea Salvanes, Anne, and Victoria Braithwaite. "The need to understand the behaviour of fish reared for mariculture or restocking." ICES Journal of Marine Science 63, no. 2 (January 1, 2006): 345–54. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.icesjms.2005.11.010.
Full textAbstract:
AbstractFollowing severe stock collapses in many natural populations, efforts are now being invested in farming marine species, and in rehabilitating populations through controlled releases. While the development of cod farming is still relatively new, it may be wise to consider some of the problems other fish farming industries have encountered. For example, farmed fish generally have a different genotype from that of local wild populations, and these artificially selected fish are typically bigger and more aggressive than wild fish. These differences can be problematic if farmed fish escape and begin breeding with local wild populations. An alternative approach to farming is to rehabilitate local wild populations through restocking. To date, however, this approach has had mixed success. Fish behaviour develops during early life stages through a combination of innate characteristics and experience. Apparently, the capacity for behavioural flexibility later in life is affected by the early experiences of juvenile fish. Here, we review the literature concerning the role of population origin and juvenile experience on fish behaviour. We highlight our recent studies on Atlantic cod, which demonstrate that variability in the nursery habitat generates behaviourally flexible fish. We discuss these issues in the context of gadoid mariculture and restocking. We conclude that behavioural studies are an important part of applied research for developing an industry of fish farming in gadoids, as well as for research concerning restocking and conservation of marine resources.

Cloyd, Raymond A. "How Effective Is Conservation Biological Control in Regulating Insect Pest Populations in Organic Crop Production Systems?" Insects 11, no. 11 (October 29, 2020): 744. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/insects11110744.
Full textAbstract:
Organic crop production systems are designed to enhance or preserve the presence of natural enemies, including parasitoids and predators, by means of conservation biological control, which involves providing environments and habitats that sustain natural enemy assemblages. Conservation biological control can be accomplished by providing flowering plants (floral resources) that will attract and retain natural enemies. Natural enemies, in turn, will regulate existing insect pest populations to levels that minimize plant damage. However, evidence is not consistent, based on the scientific literature, that providing natural enemies with flowering plants will result in an abundance of natural enemies sufficient to regulate insect pest populations below economically damaging levels. The reason that conservation biological control has not been found to sufficiently regulate insect pest populations in organic crop production systems across the scientific literature is associated with complex interactions related to intraguild predation, the emission of plant volatiles, weed diversity, and climate and ecosystem resources across locations where studies have been conducted.

The present study aims to identify the regulations on the conservation of natural resources and their impact on community welfare. This study applied an empirical juridical approach. The primary and secondary data used in this study were collected through interviews, observation, and literature study. As results, it can be identified that fish conservation in Indonesia is regulated by various laws and regulations, including Law on Fisheries, Law on Environmental Protection and Management, Government Regulation on Conservation of Fishery Resources, Government Regulation on Fish Farming, Regulation of the Minister of Environment and Forestry on Recognition and Protection of Local Wisdom in the Management of Natural Resources and Environment, Regional Regulation on Implementation of Tourism, Regional Regulation on Preservation of Local Culture, as well as Regional Regulation on Conservation of Birds and Fish which give the authority to Kuningan District Regional Government in the conservation of ‘god fish’. The conservation of ‘god fish’ based on local wisdom of ‘pamali’ is in the form of prohibition on damaging the spring in Cibulan Tourist Attraction and prohibition on disturbing ‘god fish’. To conclude with, the conservation of natural resources, especially ‘god fish’, through water-based tourism management has positive implications for community welfare.

Full textAbstract:
Access to natural resources has changed over the years in Zimbabwe. At least three broad periods of biodiversity conservation, utilisation, and access can be identified in the country, namely, the precolonial, colonial, and postindependence periods. This paper reviews the relationships between human livelihoods and biodiversity conservation in the rural areas of Zimbabwe during these periods and is informed by an extensive review of the relevant literature. A combination of historical narrative, thematic, and content analysis was used in analysing the various documents into meaningful information addressing the objective of the study. Traditional societies in precolonial Zimbabwe had access to abundant natural resources. However, access to these resources was not uncontrolled, but was limited by traditional beliefs, taboos, and customs enforced through community leadership structures. The advent of colonialism in the late 19th century dispossessed indigenous African communities of natural resources through command-type conservation legislation. At independence in 1980, the new majority government sought to redress the natural resource ownership imbalances created during colonialism, culminating in some significant measure of devolution in natural resource management to local communities in the late 1980s, though such devolution has been criticised for being incomplete. An accelerated land reform exercise since the year 2000 has adversely affected biodiversity conservation activities in the country, including the conservation-related livelihood benefits derived from protected areas. The review paper highlights the need for a more complete devolution of natural resource ownership and management down to the grassroots levels in the communal areas, if social and ecological sustainability is to be fully realised in these areas. On the other hand, the disruption of conservation activities in the country due to the ill-planned accelerated land reform exercise that has demarcated land for arable farming in some of the protected areas should be held in check as a matter of urgency.

Full textAbstract:
Medicinal plants are valued natural resources to maintain affordable and culture-specific health care. The reliance on these resources for optimal health care aligns with the World Health Organization's (WHO) recommendation to use traditional herbal medicine to meet primary health care needs. Nevertheless, this could potentially have adverse effects on the status and availability of the herbs in their natural habitats. This review outlines the utilisation of indigenous knowledge and methods to preserve indigenous medicinal plants for future accessibility and utilisation. The data presented in the review is obtained from national and international literature on indigenous use and management of natural resources. The review's findings indicate that the sustainable use of medicinal plants is influenced by taboos, seasonal and societal limitations on harvesting, and adherence to regulations on the collection of medicinal plants. Implementing indigenous conservation techniques could effectively help counteract the extinction of medicinal plant species caused by the adverse effects of climatic extremes on biodiversity.

AbstractThe submarine habitats in the Rio Lagartos Sea Turtle Sanctuary, Mexico, are an important feeding and development area for juvenile Hawksbill turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata). The characterization of these critical habitats is an important and urgent issue to attend for the conservation of this species in Mexico. The objective of this study is to identify, locate and describe the marine benthic habitats in this area, and explain the distribution of the juvenile Hawksbill turtles in the study area. We used submarine techniques such as videotransects and spot checks to characterize the bottom types in the area, and geostatistic techniques to elaborate thematic maps of the different benthic components, integrating all of them into a GIS. We obtained the bottom type map with eight submarine habitats at different depth ranges. We found juvenile Hawksbill turtles distributed mainly on hard bottom sites covered by octocorals, such as Pseudopterogorgia, and sponges of the genera Chondrilla and Spheciospongia. We estimated habitat ranges for the captured turtles and the bottom types occupied by them, then we calculated the distribution densities of juvenile Hawksbill turtles by bottom type. We concluded that the combination of spatial techniques and multivariate statistics is efficient for mapping the marine bottom types in the area, and recommend the generation of specific conservation strategies to protect this area because of the natural marine resources and process ocurring in it.

Introduction: Biodiversity conservation is a global concern. With the advancement of agricultural frontiers, the excessive use of natural resources, pollution, urban and industrial expansion, innovative approaches that seek to face these emerging challenges become necessary; In this context, seeking practices that align scientific and traditional knowledge in biodiversity conservation, the model known as ethnoconservation emerges, which aims to strengthen the relationship between society and the environment. Objective: To address concepts of ethnoconservation, explaining the challenges for its implementation. Methodology: This is a descriptive literature review, with research carried out at Scielo and 8 articles used. Literature review: The literature addresses collective methods of appropriation of natural resources in relation to the norms of reciprocal behavior linked to them. It is pointed out that these models of cooperation and mutual assistance result in the formation of an intergroup system of economic balance. Environmental conservation, in partnership with community care, generates economic returns for the community, whether in the commercialization of products in a non-predatory way, or even in their exposure through ethnotourism. Final considerations: despite the benefits proposed by ethnoconservation, there are challenges faced in its implementation, especially in Brazil, where conservation practice is often undemocratic and distant from the knowledge of traditional populations.

Full textAbstract:
The exploration of policies for the conservation of marine biodiversity in the management of natural resources (SDA) in Indonesia emphasizes the urgency of preserving marine biodiversity in the world's largest archipelagic country. Challenges such as illegal fishing, environmental degradation, and a lack of institutional coordination take center stage. With the aim of identifying barriers and opportunities for policy implementation, this study analyzes models of natural resource management using a qualitative approach through literature review. The study focuses on theories of conservation, natural resource management, and international collaboration. The findings highlight the complexity of policy issues and practices in managing marine natural resources, including an evaluation of the "Community-Based Folley Sea Sasi Management" and "Blue Economy Implementation" models. The recommendations put forward involve enhancing supervision, strengthening international collaboration, and implementing advanced technologies. The implications of these findings are expected to support the formulation of more effective policies and efforts to conserve marine biodiversity in Indonesia.

Full textAbstract:
Shifting agriculture has been regarded as the cause of degradation to most types of natural resources in the Eastern Himalayas. Attempts have been made by certain agencies to abolish the system or find alternatives but failed. Physical barriers arising from rugged topography along with the socio-economic conditions are the major hindrances for improved agricultural systems. Discussions on problems related to shifting agriculture and natural resources conservations have been made based on literature review and researches conducted in the region. Rainfall and vegetative cover being the major determinants of erosion intensity in the region, hydrological engineering model for on-farm soil conservation practices has been developed to control runoff, enhance rainfall interception and retain soil moisture and organic matter. Measures for on-site soil conservation include the use of locally available resources with the application of simple technology and economically inexpensive for the ignorant and poor marginal farmers.

Full textAbstract:
The management of natural resources, especially energy resources, is a challenge for today's society. For this reason, Energy Efficiency (E.E.) is considered as a key tool to promote economic growth, reduce the consumption of natural energy resources, and help to solve multiple environmental impacts. In this study, a systematic mapping of the literature concerning E.E. is carried out. Based on the research questions formulated in the systematic mapping, a knowledge gap is identified, which is that the problems linked to energy are not being addressed from a systemic and interdisciplinary paradigm. This calls for the development of methodological, sociological, and technological processes that allow understanding of E.E. from a systemic perspective. Finally, the basis for an alternative vision of E.E. in Colombia is proposed, which tends towards the sustainability and conservation of natural energy resources.

Full textAbstract:
Understanding ontogenetic linkages among fish habitats is critical for conservation of fish populations and the ecosystems on which they rely. Natural tags such as stable isotopes are effective for investigating ecological questions regarding fish movement and habitat use. We analyzed stable isotopes from sequentially deposited laminae of hogfish Lachnolaimus maximus eye lenses from the eastern Gulf of Mexico (eGOM) to investigate trophic and geographic changes across individual life histories. We documented evidence of 1 to 2 step trophic level increases through δ15N increases. We also observed depth separation at the juvenile stage, evidenced by δ13C variation early in life. These results suggest that adult hogfish in deeper habitats likely inhabited deeper juvenile habitats (i.e. nearshore reefs), while adult hogfish inhabiting shallower adult habitats likely used shallower juvenile habitats (i.e. estuaries). This novel finding for eGOM hogfish contradicts prior literature that solely discusses seagrass as juvenile habitat. We used muscle tissue isotopes to characterize juvenile hogfish habitats and linear discriminant function analysis (LDA) to determine the habitats previously inhabited by adults in this study. The LDA revealed Cedar Key as the most used juvenile hogfish habitat in this study, but more evidence is needed to determine its status as a nursery. This study provides the first evidence for ontogenetic migration of individual hogfish using natural tags as tracers and demonstrates a mechanism for identifying juvenile habitats based on eye lens stable isotope analysis. Identifying ontogenetic patterns and habitat use can help to better conserve stocks and essential fish habitats.

Employing ecology as the pivotal basis of its narrative, Dune by Frank Herbert is regarded as the pioneer of ecological science-fiction novels. This qualitative study intends to examine the exploitation and conservation of nature and how human background influences such behaviours in Frank Herbert’s Dune. The researcher employs an ecocritical approach to literature to discuss the compiled textual data. Through the thematic analysis technique, this article reveals how Dune highlights the issues of the authority party and the indigenous society of Arrakis triggered by the abundance of the spice melange and the absence of water and vegetation, where these two sides of the population have contradictory intentions towards natural resources—exploiting and conserving. Moreover, the study unveils that the extortion attempts of the Galactic Imperium, the Harkonnens, CHOAM, and the Spacing Guild are driven by political and economic motives, and the conservation effort of the Fremen and the Atreides is the outcome of their ecological awareness.

The results of this study indicate that nature conservation activities the Nahdliyyin Front for Natural Resources Sovereignty has a role for religion. Namely in the form of a power boost called Religious Assets. The religious assets include; 1) Transcendent Motivation; 2) Shared Identity; 3) Socio-Geographical Religion; 4) Special Legitimacy; and 5) Institutional Interests. This research has significance for the development of the discourse of Religious Studies in the field of Religion and Ecology. Considering that the discourse on the relationship between religion and the issue of nature conservation is still considered minimally studied. The conclusion of this study is that religion has a role in the form of encouragement of strength through moral and institutional messages in an effort to preserve nature.

Full textAbstract:
While biodiversity and ecosystem services derived from the natural environment are the backbones of West African rural livelihood, unsustainable exploitation of natural resources, conflicts, and climate change threaten the continued provision of ecosystem services. This threat creates an urgent need to safeguard the integrity of the environment. Evaluating the effectiveness of environmental conservation projects is central towards designing and scaling-up successful conservation projects. Using secondary literature and project reports, we reviewed ongoing and completed conservation projects in the West African sub-region. Scientific work on incentives for ecosystem services in sub-Saharan Africa typically focuses on Southern and Eastern Africa, leaving Western Africa underserved. This study fills this literature gap by compiling lessons from conservation projects in West Africa to offer region-specific incentives that should inform the design of conservation projects in the region. The study shows that the way forward is a holistic, sustainable development approach that mirrors and meets strategies outlined in Sustainable Development Goals 1, 2, 5, 8, 13, and 17: No Poverty, End Hunger and Promote Sustainable Agriculture, Gender Equality, Decent Work and Economic Growth, Climate Action, and Partnerships for the Goals, respectively.

Full textAbstract:
Over the past few decades deforestation has become the issue of global concern for its rapid reduction of biodiversity. The tropical moist deciduous Sal forest ecosystem of central Bangladesh is currently in a critical situation. Destructive anthropogenic and natural impacts coupled with overexploitation of forest resources have caused severe damage to the forest ecosystem. Due to rubber monoculture, expanding commercial fuel wood plantations & expanding agriculture, illegal cutting, encroachment of forest areas, and illegal poaching of wildlife, the Sal forest is losing biodiversity alarmingly. The study is based on intensive literature survey and tries to explore the overall deforestation situation and conservation practices for Madhupur Sal forest that comprises about 5% of the total forests in Bangladesh. The level of destruction of the natural Sal forest has pushed the forest-dwelling indigenous Garo community into cash crop production, forcing them to move away from their traditional subsistence economy. Now we need to address a joint conservation and improved management plan of the forest resources use. Thus all kinds of military establishments, construction of roads and highways for military purposes should be avoided and a policy of planned industrialization should be adopted to mitigate the adverse effect of industrialization. Findings of the study will help to identify the causes of deforestation and conservation of Madhupur Sal forest and also in other national parks in Bangladesh which ultimately conserve the biodiversity and help to maintain natural balance.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jesnr.v6i2.22105 J.

Full textAbstract:
In the Hawaiian Archipelago, shelter-dependent juvenile stages of many reef fishes and their coral habitats are increasingly put at risk by multiple anthropogenic stressors (e.g. overfishing and habitat loss, coral bleaching and sedimentation, respectively). We assessed coral bleaching (to identify relative susceptibility among growth forms) and the use v. availability of structurally complex and simple corals by juvenile reef fishes in Hawai'i. We use these data in a model that identifies habitats and resource species for managing reef fisheries and conserving coral habitats. Many juvenile reef fishes preferentially inhabit rugose corals. The economic and ecological importance of these fishes varies from those with little value to others, such as highly prized parrotfishes that also serve as ecological engineers. Coral species also differ in their relative susceptibility to anthropogenic and natural stressors – more structurally complex corals tend to be more susceptible to stressors. Our model relates the economic and ecological valuations of fish resources with specific preferences of fish juveniles for corals of varying susceptibility, testing the prediction that risk should co-vary among species of corals and fishes. Managers should use such a model when prioritising habitats and resource species for conservation.

Nepal is very rich in terms of its natural beauty and cultural diversity which have provided an enormous opportunity for tourism. Past literature works show that ecotourism helps enhance conservation of natural resources and biodiversity, preserve local cultures and alleviate poverty through an ethical and responsible approach of development. Acknowledging its potential benefits, Nepal has promoted ecotourism as a strategy to attract foreign capital particularly based on indigenous culture, heritage and environmental resources. However, ecotourism has demonstrated its shortcomings. Hence, this paper aimed to critically review the impact of eco-tourism on socio-economic and environmental aspects in Nepal. Based on the review of the various related literatures, this study concluded that ecotourism is crucial for natural resource management, biodiversity conservation, and increase in greenery in Nepal. It is a major contributor to the Nepalese economy, economic development and poverty alleviation. Its contribution to rural development, agricultural transformation, community enrichment and social empowerment is significant. However, it also consumes scarce resources, produces wastes, requires specific infrastructure, and increase pollution, and is likely to increase alcoholism, and create adverse impact on local traditional cultures and make local lifestyle vulnerable to Western influence.

Contemporary research concerning the benefits (services) of the ecosystems (environment) confirm the rank and significance of the natural environment and its resources for shaping humanity’s well-being. Particularly highlighted is the need to protection of live natural resources to preserve biodiversity, which is essential for retaining the basic ecological processes and providing the sustainability of usage of these resources. Consequently, protection of biodiversity is not only an environmental issue, but also an economic and social issue involving the well-being and quality of life of society. Thus, biological diversity is an essential condition for providing ecological safety, retaining the continuity of natural processes, and conditions the quality of life and economic potential. The main purpose of the paper is to indicate the theoretical bases of biodiversity protection from the perspective of the natural and economic sciences, and to describe the diversity of biodiversity protection levels in the EU states. A specific aim is to indicate the forms and instruments of nature conservation involved in biodiversity protection, and to carry out an overview of established nature conservation programmes in selected EU countries. In order to accomplish such a complex aim, this article presents an overview of literature found in the natural, economic and legal sciences and popular magazines presenting scientific research within the field of biodiversity. Then a comparative analysis is presented based on the statistical data coming from various international statistics resources (OECD, EUROSTAT, EEA).

Full textAbstract:
Knowledge of animal dispersal patterns is of great importance for the conservation and maintenance of natural populations. We here analyze juvenile dispersal of the poorly studied Black-shouldered Kite (Elanus caeruleus) monitored in southwestern Spain in an ongoing long-term study initiated in 2003. The European population of Black-shouldered kites is thought to be a recent one funded by colonizing African birds, as no kites have been found in the European fossil record, and the breeding population has progressively expanded to the North in the late 20th and 21st centuries. We obtained information on movements behavior during dispersal from 47 juveniles Kites after marking 384 nestlings with wing tags and three nestlings with radio transmitter. We have tested two competing hypotheses (i.e., the Resources Competition Hypothesis and the Wandering Hypothesis (WH)) that may explain the leptokurtic distribution of the natal dispersal distance in Elanus. After independence, juvenile females dispersed farther from the natal areas than males, as is common in birds. On average, males and females dispersed from their natal areas over 9 (i.e., 26.15 km) and 15 (i.e., 43.79 km) breeding territories, respectively. A male and two females dispersed further than 100 km from their natal nest. Our results indicated some evidence supporting the competition-for-resources hypotheses since nestlings hatched from high quality territories stayed closer from natal areas than nestlings hatched from low quality territories and also nestlings hatched first within the brood also tend to recruit closer to their natal area than later hatched nestlings which tend to disperse further away from their natal area. The information provided by these crucial demographic parameters will be used for the elaboration of future conservation plans for the management of this colonizing species in Europe.

Full textAbstract:
This article analyzes the evolution process of the Protected Areas and the changes in views regarding environmental protection. It is a literature review. In Brazil and other countries, the Protected Areas were created according to international models with different conceptions, mainly the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) recommendations. In the IUCN International Protected Areas System, specific categories of strict sense protected areas allow natural resources and human occupation. In others not. The debate on this issue remains controversial worldwide. On the one hand, there are preservationists (strict protection believers) who argue that only sites with the objective of strict preservation should have the status of Protected Areas. Conservationists believe that such sites could maintain this status, even though they are not exclusively focused on strict preservation. The historical trend persists in considering land use and access to natural resources in occupying space, emphasizing issues of their domain and management, causing conflicts of views and interests. As a result, the establishment and maintenance of areas to be protected become more complex, mainly when they are historically occupied and used by man.

Semangit Resort is a management unit of Lake Sentarum National Park that has wealth and biodiversity as a supporter of conservation development, sustainable economy, and socio-cultural life of the local community. The natural resources available there are utilized by local communities to meet economic needs. People in the Semangit Resort Work Area conduct natural resource management based on local wisdom because local habits have been done since long ago and can support the sustainability of natural resources. This research aims to find out the available natural resources, the form of local wisdom in the management of natural resources, and their effect on improving the economy of the community in the Semangit Resort Work Area. The method of data collection in this study is done by doing field observations, semi-structured interviews, and documentation of community activities. The data obtained is then analyzed, assisted by the literature related to the purpose of research. The results of this study show that the available natural resources are divided into 3 sectors, namely the fisheries sector, the forest products sector, and the agricultural and plantation sectors. Most of the local wisdom carried out by the community related to the management of natural resources is proven to improve the economy of the community. This shows that natural resource management based on local wisdom can improve the economy in support of sustainable development.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Kalimantan possesses diverse local fruit potentials, including the genus Artocarpus (local name: Tarap). There are approximately 13 Artocarpus species in Kalimantan, two of which are endemic to the region: Artocarpus nitidus Trecul ssp. borneensis (Merr.) Jarrett and Artocarpus odoratissimus Blanco. A. odoratissimus, commonly known as Binturung in South Kalimantan, is a less frequently encountered local fruit than other Tarap species. The destruction of natural habitats, mainly due to land use conversion from natural forests to other purposes, has led to a decline in Binturung populations in the wild. This study comprehensively reviews relevant literature on A. odoratissimus, encompassing fruit characteristics, potential benefits, and conservation status. Expert interviews, including botanists and biodiversity specialists, are conducted to gather additional information on the commercial potential and conservation challenges associated with Binturung fruit in Kalimantan. This research provides a comprehensive overview of the potential and challenges in utilizing A. odoratissimus fruit in Kalimantan. The findings are expected to serve as a foundation for sustainable conservation strategies and commercial utilization, promoting the conservation of natural resources and enhancing the well-being of local communities.

Full textAbstract:
Wastewater treatment involves the extraction of pollutants, removal of coarse particles, and elimination of toxicants. Moreover, wastewater treatment kills pathogens and produces bio-methane and fresh manure for agricultural production. The connection between waste management and sustainability created the basis for this research. Wastewater treatment is part of the efforts to minimize water waste, minimize pressure on natural sources of water, and create a pathway for clean energy. A systematic literature review was selected for this study to evaluate and synthesize the available evidence in support of wastewater treatment for both economic and environmental sustainability. The articles were evaluated using the PRISMA framework to identify the most appropriate articles for inclusion. A total of 46 articles were selected based on their content validity, relevance to the research question, strength of evidence, year of publication (2000–2023), and relevance to sustainable resource management. The findings indicate that wastewater treatment enables sustainable resource management by improving the supply of clean water, and minimizing pressure on natural resources, energy recovery, and agricultural support. Wastewater treatment provides one of the most sustainable approaches to water conservation, energy production, and agricultural productivity.

Full textAbstract:
This study conducted a literature review and a survey of relevant personell and experts to derive effective conservation and management strategies for cultural resources within national parks. The legal, regulatory, and policy conditions have improved in the field of cultural heritage management, with the enactment of the National Cultural Heritage Basic Act leading to the expansion of the management of natural ecology-related resources and non-designated cultural heritage. Other organizations have also established legal concepts related to cultural resources and are enhancing collaborative management efforts, thereby strengthening the execution of cultural resource management. The results of the survey of personell and experts indicate that, overall, enhancing the value and perception of cultural resources within national parks is crucial. Furthermore, improvements are necessary through on-site management and capacity building within the organization itself. In light of this, it is imperative to progress towards establishing an integrated management system that specializes in both cultural resources and the ecology and natural environment within national parks. Based on the findings of this study, it is essential to pursue the establishment of legal and regulatory frameworks to define the scope of cultural resources and progressively secure management authority for the effective management of cultural resources within national parks. In terms of management organizations and personnel, it is essential to establish a professional organizational structure and workforce system that leverages the strengths of on-site management and enhances capabilities. In the context of resource conservation and utilization, we propose the expansion of ecology and cultural exploration content based on stakeholder participation, as well as enhancing awareness of value.

Women mostly involve in raring and caring natural resources in their daily life. This paper intends to explore the practices and perspectives of Nepali women on ecology conservation in relation to ecological, socio-cultural and religious perspectives. For environmental degradation, women's resource management plays a vital role in ecology conservation. As a qualitative research approach, field observation, focus group discussion, and in-depth interviews with women in the community were the methods of collecting necessary information. Nepali women involve in the collection and management of plant resources inappropriately. Therefore, their perspective and practice can play an important role to minimize the rapid degradation of the environment regarding with management of plant resources. The theoretical literature review consists of movements on environment conservation in the world and in Nepal. No doubt, the message of their contribution will be the lesson to the world for the protection of environment as well as to support and meet the slogan of “local act global think” to save the nature.

The new world order started by the industrial revolution; have initiated significant changes on the cities, as well as the lifestyle in which societies, their technologies, their understanding of the use of the natural environment and the way in which they exploit natural energy resources. The effects of industrialization on the environment, energy resource consumption and spatial conditions by transforming consumption habits as well as production types; caused important problems in the twentieth century especially in urban residential areas. The building sector, which consumes two fifths of the world resources; has been recognized worldwide that it is consuming limited resources with its energy preferences and consumption profiles along with environmental and climatic damage. For this reason, searches for solutions, different spatial planning approaches and scientific studies have started to meet the reality that limited resources are running out. Along with sustainability studies, which is one of these approaches, the sensitivity of the building planning principles of traditional residential areas that have reached from past to present has begun to draw attention to energy efficient usage decisions.
The aim of the study is to evaluate design parameters related to energy efficiency and natural resource use of the design approaches of structures in traditional residential areas with the potential to be solutions to problems. Within the scope of the study, the design parameters related to energy conservation and efficiency of sustainable traditional buildings, which are revealed with different climatic and environmental data in traditional residential areas of Anatolia, are discussed together with the literature researches and on-site evaluations. The study aims to reveal the sustainable traditional architectural principles that these buildings have in energy efficiency, use and conservation in the context of examples examined in different climatic regions.

Abstract Maintaining marine sustainability and biodiversity requires support and cooperation from the government, stakeholders, and community. Indigenous communities have the right to restoration and protection of the environment and productive capacity of land, territory, sea, and all their natural resources. Research on community governance has been carried out by many researchers with increasingly developing topics. Including topics about indigenous peoples and natural resource conservation. This research aims is to determine the development of research trends regarding community governance of indigenous communities in marine conservation. The data source is literature in the Scopus database and the data analysis uses bibliometric analysis of indigenous community governance in marine conservation publications. The results are the research of indigenous communities governance in marine conservation from the first publication in 2006 has tended to increase. Although in certain years it has decreased or there have been no publications at all. The research become an interesting topic because it related with environmental science and indigenous communities have a big role in implementing marine conservation. This conservation has been going for a long time and passed down from generation to generation. The recommendation of this research is legal recognition for indigenous peoples to protect their rights.

Full textAbstract:
The caste system has implications for the environmental experiences of Dalits (formerly “untouchables”). Dalits are disproportionately impacted by natural disasters and climate change because of their high dependence on natural resources and manual labor, including agriculture. Dalit viewpoints and ecological expertise nevertheless remain missing from the environmental literature and mainstream activism. Aligning with Black ecologies as a challenge to eco-racism, I use the term “Dalit ecologies” to conceptualize Dalit articulations with their environment and experiences of eco-casteism involving inequities such as their exclusions from natural resources and high vulnerability to pollution and waste. My analysis of scholarly literature finds that nature is caste-ized through the ideology of Hindu Brahminism that animates mainstream environmental activism in India. Dalit subjectivities and agency nevertheless remain evident in their literary and oral narratives and ongoing struggles for access to land, water, and other environmental resources.

The Andean region has always fascinated travelers and scholars who are interested in biodiversity. Monumental works have been written on mineral resources, flora and fauna. And efforts are being made to protect the richness of biodiversity, especially in protected natural areas. But the threats from the advance of extractive activities and the consequences of climate change are becoming more and more shocking and are avoiding the achievement of sustainable development. For this reason, the production of knowledge and its spread in quality scientific journals is an urgent need, based on data from reality itself and its resources, in light of the scientific literature produced. In this scenario, the Highlands Research Journal wishes to invite everyone to contribute with their proposals to face the challenge of environmental degradation, the exploitation of natural resources, the effects of climate change and the persistence of socio-environmental conflicts, of which it is essential to take into account social facts, in the search for possible solutions to achieve the balance between man and nature and guide activities towards the conservation, rational and sustainable use of natural resources. History is full of lessons that should not be forgotten, about the wealth of Andean natural resources and the enormous body of knowledge that traveling scientists have left us in recent centuries

Full textAbstract:
This article explores the pivotal role of local knowledge in the conservation of natural resources from the unique perspective of environmental anthropology within the context of traditional agriculture. Traditional agricultural practices have historically relied on indigenous knowledge systems, passed down through generations, to maintain a delicate balance between human livelihoods and the environment. This research endeavors to shed light on the invaluable insights offered by local communities and their practices in preserving ecological harmony.
Through an interdisciplinary approach, combining anthropological fieldwork and environmental studies, we examine how local knowledge systems influence the sustainable use of natural resources, focusing on agricultural practices and their impact on ecosystems. We also analyze the transmission of this knowledge within communities and the adaptations made over time in response to changing environmental conditions.
The findings of this study underscore the significance of local knowledge as a source of practical wisdom in addressing contemporary environmental challenges. Indigenous practices, such as agroforestry, crop rotation, and seed saving, have often proven to be more sustainable and resilient than modern agricultural methods. Moreover, these traditional practices reflect a deep understanding of the local environment and its ecological interdependencies.
By understanding and respecting the indigenous knowledge held by traditional agricultural communities, policymakers, conservationists, and researchers can collaborate with local stakeholders to develop holistic and effective strategies for the conservation of natural resources. This research emphasizes the need for fostering partnerships that integrate scientific knowledge and local wisdom in order to achieve long-term sustainability and resilience in agriculture and environmental management.
Ultimately, this article contributes to the growing body of literature highlighting the importance of acknowledging and incorporating local knowledge in efforts to address environmental issues and underscores the role of environmental anthropology as a bridge between traditional wisdom and contemporary conservation practices.

This research, carried out in the years 2011–2013, aimed to evaluate <em>Salix lapponum</em> stands in the peat bogs of Polesie Lubelskie Region as well as to determine the condition of the population and the changes that have taken place since the 1950’s. An inventory carried out in 25 stands of <em>S. lapponum </em>known from the literature shows that the number of its stands has decreased by 80% in Polesie Lubelskie Region. In all the confirmed locations, a decrease in population numbers was also found in relation to the data known from the literature since the 1950’s. In the majority of the population locations that were considered to be extinct, there were no significant changes in habitat conditions, and ecological succession and changes in hydrological conditions could have been the cause of habitat changes only at a few sites. In the light of the study, the preservation of the <em>S. lapponum </em>population in Polesie Lubelskie seems to be impossible if appropriate active conservation measures are not taken immediately. Because area-based conservation, which covers most of the habitats of the studied species, does not bring the expected results, the possibility of <em>ex situ</em> conservation and enlargement of the populations existing in the natural environment in peat bog ecosystems in Polesie should be explored.

The management of recreational activities in Natural Protected Areas is complex due to the number of stakeholders that use and manage natural resources, their varying activities, interests and needs. The aim of the study was to analyse the relational dynamics between stakeholders involved in three Socio‑Ecological Units, and their implications in the management of recreational activities in the Nevado de Toluca Flora and Fauna Protected Area, Mexico. From literature review, semi‑structured interviews and application of Social Network Analysis tools, it was identified that not all the stakeholders that should be involved for efficient management of recreational activities are effectively included . Although their main function is the conservation of natural resources, they also assume functions for the management of recreational activities. They present weak ties and lack of consistency in their relationships, due to the absence of institutionalized links and common goals. It is necessary to move towards collaboration networks where stakeholders assume joint responsibilities and actions for the planning and management of recreational activities.

AbstractThe importance of communication in conflict situations between conservationists and farmers about problems related to agricultural practices such as erosion, biodiversity loss, and water quality has been highlighted frequently. However, in the Czech Republic, there is a very limited amount of scientific data about this issue. This article presents a literature review summarising evidence on how conflicts between farmers and environmentalists proceed; steps that can be taken to achieve progress in face-to-face communication and there is also a case study of a specific collaborative partnership from a small parish in South Moravia that focuses on improving natural values. Recommendations on how to build more constructive dialogue and develop cooperation between various groups are analysed, and principles that enhance dialogue and may contribute to overcoming disagreements through partnership are indicated. The collaborative partnership in the case study involves a farmer working together with a municipality and other stakeholders on a local level to improve nature conservation and ecosystem services. The majority of the general principles of collaboration and communication for conflict resolution that were identified in the literature review were fulfilled; nevertheless, the partnership currently has limited outreach as the two agribusiness companies which manage the majority of the land in the parish have not been included.

Biodiversitas Journal of Biological Diversity 20, no. 4 (March 19, 2019): 1034–41. http://dx.doi.org/10.13057/biodiv/d200414.
Full textAbstract:
A checklist of medicinal plants in a natural area is fundamental not only it provides an updated reference but also it gives the current status of biodiversity. In this study, available medicinal plants in Mt. Arayat National Park (MANP) was documented. Existing and comprehensive references on Philippine medicinal plants were used to assess the medicinal values. To determine their conservation status, the International Union of Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and list from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) in the Philippines were accessed. Results indicated a total of 60 species under 27 families were recorded in MANP. Out of the 27 families, Leguminosae represented the highest number of medicinal plants and the genus Ficus has the most number of species. Based on literature, most of the plants were used to treat infectious and parasitic diseases and diseases of the digestive system. In terms of the conservation status, IUCN has assessed 6 vulnerable and 5 least concern species while DENR has listed 1 vulnerable species and the rest of the medicinal plants were marked as not evaluated. This checklist provides data of various medicinal plants which aims to emphasize their uses and the need of conservation.

Full textAbstract:
This study was undertaken to determine the distribution and habitat requirements of many of the endangered and threatened plant species associated with the sand deposits of Illinois. Approximately 70 species of endangered and threatened plants are known to grow in these deposits. The habitat fidelity and natural community types were determined for 40 of these species that are restricted to these glacial drift sand habitats. Plant community types, associated species, moisture requirements, and other data concerning each of the plant species were determined by reviewing the pertinent literature, searching the Illinois Department of Natural Resources Natural Heritage Database, through discussions with botanists and natural heritage biologists, examination of herbarium specimens, and our studies of the vegetation of the Illinois sand deposits. Throughout the course of these studies, most of the nature preserves, state parks, and identified natural areas in the sand regions were visited on numerous occasions and vegetation surveys undertaken. The information presented in this paper could allow rare plant conservation in Illinois to become more proactive by encouraging the selection of sites where in situ conservation efforts could be conducted by state, local, and nongovernmental organizations.

"Oversummer growth and survival of juvenile coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) across a natural gradient of stream water temperature and prey availability: an in situ enclosure experiment."

Full textAbstract:
Conservation efforts for Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) increasingly prioritize maintenance of cool water temperatures that protect all freshwater life stages. However, development of appropriate temperature standards requires a robust understanding of the interactions among water temperature, ecosystem productivity, and fish performance. We used a series of in situ enclosures to examine how natural spatiotemporal gradients in thermal conditions and prey availability affected the summer growth and survival of age-0+ coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch). Coho salmon absolute growth rates peaked at a mean daily average water temperature (mean T) of 16.6 °C and an associated maximum weekly maximum temperature (MWMT) of 21.1 °C. Juvenile growth under these thermal conditions was sixfold greater than the growth rates observed for conspecifics rearing in the coolest study reach (mean T = 13.0 °C; MWMT = 16.0 °C). Even at the highest rearing temperature (mean T = 18.1 °C; MWMT = 24.0 °C), growth rates remained positive and above the study-wide average, although overall survival was reduced. Among the predictor variables examined, invertebrate prey abundance was the predominant factor influencing age-0+ coho salmon growth. These results suggest that abundant prey resources may mitigate the negative effects of elevated water temperature on fish growth in riverine environments. Given the likelihood of increasing stream temperatures with climate change, productive ecosystems may provide critical refuges for juvenile salmonids.

Full textAbstract:
The initiation of national economic growth gives the government a focus on handling economy equally in both rural and urban areas. The considerations that make the economy must be sustainable among others which the current generation who enjoys goods and services produced from natural resources and the environment has a moral obligation to leave the services of these natural resources for future generations. The aim of this research is initiated to promote equitable economic growth through the conservation of natural resources that can be used sustainably from each generation. The approach used in this research is qualitative with exploratory study method. The analysis technique used is literature search and case analysis related to the entity of equal distribution of national income and the green economy concept. The results of this study indicate that there are seven strategic steps and green economy using macro-regional economic indicators namely genuine saving to monitoring the distribution of national income. This result is to describe concepts of green economy, green growth and green development are basically intended to operationalize the linkages of economic, social and environmental pillars in the context of sustainable development.
