Abstract:
Osnabrück University and Universidad Técnica Nacional develop inter- and transdisciplinary approaches in research and education to restore and protect biodiversity. In Costa Rica, many persistent social-ecological conflicts can be observed. The case of the Gulf of Nicoya offers a suitable testing ground for the approaches developed as part of this partnership. This article introduces the project’s focus on the relationship between cultural, economic and political aspects related to conservation, sustainable land use and community development.

Abstract:
Tropical rain forests are rich in plant and animal species. The sustainable extraction of non-timber forest products has been advocated as a strategy to best conserve this diversity. However, the development and implementation of such exploitation systems, which aim to reconcile conservation and economic development, are still hampered by the lack of information on the biological sustainability of these systems, the impact of these exploitation systems on the biological diversity and the insufficient knowledge of the role of forest products in the household economy of forest dependent people a

SUMMARYDisturbances to key aspects of ecological systems, including biodiversity loss, climate change, pollution and natural resource degradation, have become a major concern to many policy analysts.

This paper reviews and assesses potential solutions for such overly simplified institutional prescriptions, referred to here as the ‘panacea problem’. In contrast to these simple prescriptions,

The biodiversity of the Republic of Moldova is in an alarming state and, unfortunately, the number of rare species is constantly increasing. This fact also denotes the number of species included in the Red Book of the Republic of Moldova. If in the first edition (1978) 26 species of plants and fungi and 29 species of animals were included, then in the second edition (2001) – 126 species of plants and fungi and 116 species of animals, and in the third edition (2015) – 208 species of plants and fungi and 219 species of animals. In order to save rare species, in 2002 the "National strategy and ac

Abstract:
Purpose This study aims to investigate how social media usage influences different facets of cultural identity including such as traditional beliefs, family solidarity, and community involvement among individuals from diverse generations. The study particularly emphasizes the dual role of social media in preserving traditional culture while also fostering connections across generational divides. Additionally, the study seeks to uncover innovative approaches for facilitating intergenerational discussions and interactions on cultural identity topics through social media platforms.

Abstract:
The San Juan La Selva (SJLS) Biological Corridor is one of a system of biological corridors in Costa Rica established in 1997 to connect forested areas within an increasingly fragmented landscape. The creation of the SJLS Biological Corridor arose from two complementary conservation efforts in the 1990s: 1) the larger Mesoamerican Corridor concept and 2) conservation of endangered Great Green Macaw (Ara ambiguus). The case study discusses the establishment of the corridor, management aspects, as well as the social issues affecting this corridor. Further points of discussion include payment for

Abstract:
Tree species are characterized by their perennial growth habit, woody morphology, long juvenile period phase, mostly outcrossing behaviour, highly heterozygosity genetic makeup, and relatively high genetic diversity. The economically important trees have been an integral part of the human life system due to their provision of timber, fruit, fodder, and medicinal and/or health benefits. Despite its widespread application in agriculture, industrial and medicinal values, the molecular aspects of key economic traits of many tree species remain largely unexplored. Over the past two decades, researc
