Abstract:

In today’s globalized world, international cooperation and information sharing becomes increasingly important. This paper examines the criteria provided in the United State’s Endangered Species Act, the European Union’s Habitat Directive, and the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List. The interplay between these lists creates barriers to conserving and protecting global biological diversity, resulting in a need for more international cooperation and collaboration

Abstract:

IntroductionIUCN (The World Conservation Union) published its first Action Plan more than a decade ago (Oates 1986). Many taxon-specific Specialist Groups working under the auspices of the IUCN Species Survival Commission (SSC) have since produced such documents, some of which are now in their second editions (e.g. Reeves and Leatherwood 1994). As we know only too well ourselves, Action Plans take a great deal of time and effort to compile, but what evidence is there to show that they are effective in achieving their prime objective of increasing the amount and quality of work that gets done to save threatened species from extinction?

Abstract:

Recently, environmental problems have become more acute. In 1980, the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) prepared the World Conservation Strategy. This document interpreted the term “sustainable development” as an inseparable link between social development and nature conservation. And already in 1992, after the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, the concept of sustainable development gained a leading status. The conference materials determined that sustainable development is a development of a society that meets the needs of today without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Therefore, being aware of the need for energy conservation, there is increasing emphasis on the use of solar energy throughout the world to generate electricity and heat.

Abstract:

A review of the current conservation status of Australian amphibians was recently completed as part of a World Conservation Union (IUCN) sponsored Global Amphibian Assessment (GAA). Fifty of 216 amphibian species (23%) in Australia are now recognized as threatened or extinct in accord with IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria. Here we report on the categories and criteria under which individual species qualified for listing and provide a summary of supporting information pertaining to population and distribution declines. Major threatening processes contributing to listing of species are also reviewed.

Abstract:

The practice of treating the environment with disdain has gradually become unfashionable. Yet in many developing nations, Nigeria among them, environmental education and awareness campaigns remain something regarded as unnecessary. According to Berry (1993: 158):The term “sustainable development” has become a shibboleth of governments and industries, to present a respectful image to a society that is becoming even more strident in its concern for the environment. It is a concept that was projected onto the world by the Stockholm Conference of 1972, and has been carried ever since by the United Nations Environment Programs (UNEP), the World Conservation Union (IUCN), and the World Wildlife Fund for nature (WWF) in their world conservation strategy. It has the ring of truth and worldwide acceptance, but it is poorly understood by those who use it.

Full text

Abstract:

Le droit des pêches maritimes puise ses fondements dans le droit de la mer. La Convention des Nations unies sur le droit de la mer de 1982 pense les questions de pêche à travers les espaces maritimes qu’elle établit. La lutte contre la pêche illicite, non déclarée et non réglementée (INN), s’est insinuée à l’intérieur du droit des pêches en transformation, sur lequel on s’interroge ici, et notamment sur la capacité de ce dernier à éradiquer ces activités INN. La pêche INN renvoie à différentes formes d’activités, de méthodes de pêche, ou de conditions d’exercice de la pêche, qu’il importe de clarifier. Les causes de la pêche INN et le traitement à y appliquer intéressent le droit public au moment où celui-ci recherche des parades. Le contenu et la portée des principes du droit international en matière de lutte contre la pêche INN, n'ont pas été pleinement efficaces puisque ce type de pêche persiste. La principale responsabilité de lutter contre la pêche INN incombe aux États, responsables au minimum d’éviter la pêche INN dans leurs mer territoriale et zones sous juridiction (État côtier) et en haute mer par des navires battant leur pavillon (État du pavillon). L’implication des organisations régionales de gestion des pêches (ORGP) ou d’autres États ou le focus sur certains rôles de l’État comme celui de l’"État du port" et l’"État du marché", qui facilitent ou contrent le commerce des produits halieutiques provenant d’activités INN, ont fait émerger des mesures juridiques internationales ou internes plus contraignantes. Dans ce mouvement, la politique commune européenne des pêches et son droit autant dans son volet interne qu’externe ont joué un rôle déterminant
Fisheries Law is taking its foundation within the Law of the sea. The 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea addresses fisheries issues through the maritime spaces it establishes. The fight against "illegal, unreported and unregulated" IUU fishing has crept into the Fisheries Law in transformation, which we are considering here, and in particular the latter's ability to eradicate these IUU activities. IUU fishing refers to different forms of fishing activities or methods, or fishing conditions, that need to be clarified. The causes of IUU fishing and the treatment to be applied to it are of full interest to public Law, particularly when it is looking for loopholes. The content and scope of the principles of international Law to combat IUU fishing have not been fully effective since this type of fishing persists. The main responsibility for combating IUU fishing lies with States, which are responsible at a minimum for avoiding IUU fishing in their territorial sea and areas under their jurisdiction (coastal State) and on the high seas by vessels flying their flag (flag State). The involvement of regional fisheries management organisations (RFMOs) or other States or the focus on certain State roles such as the "port State" and the "market State", which facilitate or counter trade in fishery products from IUU activities. This has nevertheless led to the emergence of more restrictive international or national legal measures. In this movement, the European common fisheries policy and its law, both internally and externally, have played a decisive role

Abstract:

<p>Conservation of cultural heritage buildings is a demand from society, which recognizes this heritage as a part of their identity, but it is also an economic issue. In Europe, tourism accounts for 10% of the gross domestic product (GDP) and 12% of the employment, if linked sectors are considered. The European Union (EU) is the world’s number one tourist destination, with 40% of arrivals in the world and with seven European countries among the top ten. According to the World Trade Organization (WTO) estimates, international tourist arrivals in Europe will increase signiﬁ cantly. The built European heritage, namely monuments or historical centres, is a main attractor for tourism, with 45% of the United Nations Educational, Scientiﬁ c and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage sites situated within the EU. Therefore, the need for their conservation is unquestionable.</p>

Abstract:

A plot of the number of parks and other terrestrial protected areas established around the world over the past 100 years exhibits near-exponential growth, with marine parks following a similar trend. This is a testament to the growing recognition of the importance of sustaining natural systems worldwide. Yet, at the same time an expanding human population and the desire of all people for a more prosperous life have resulted in unprecedented rates of deforestation and habitat conversion. Accompanying these changes has been the spread of invasive, non-native species (including new disease organisms) to virtually all parts of the globe. With recent assessments placing 12% of the world’s birds, 23% of mammals, and 32% of amphibians in danger of extinction (Baillie et al., 2004), conservationists feel a justifiable sense of panic. Any attempt to measure the full extent of the current biodiversity crisis is made immensely more difficult by our astounding lack of knowledge about the species that share this planet with us. For example, we do not know within an order of magnitude the number of species currently present on Earth (May, 1988, 1992; Novotny et al., 2002); estimates range from 3 to more than 30 million species, of which only 1.5–1.8 million have been described to date. Not surprisingly, our inventory of the more charismatic groups of organisms, such as birds, mammals, and butterflies, is vastly more complete than our inventory of insects, arachnids, fungi, and other less conspicuous but no less important groups. If we ask the logical follow-up question—what proportion of known (described) species is in danger of extinction?—we run into a similar barrier. While organizations like the World Conservation Union (IUCN) have prepared reasonably complete assessments for a few groups, notably the charismatic vertebrates, most species are too poorly known to assess. Even within the USA only about 15% of the species catalogued to date are sufficiently known to be given any sort of conservation rank, such as endangered or not endangered (Wilcove and Master, 2005); among invertebrates that value drops to less than 5%. Compounding this shortfall of data is an equally serious shortfall of money.

Abstract:

This chapter looks at the processes underway in the Soviet Union in the 1930s and 1940s. However instrumental the Soviet appeal to traditional values may have been, it subtly altered the direction of the country's progress. Conservatism may be seen as a path, that is to say as a route along which a society progresses while retaining connections to its past. By reframing his revolutionary policies to include reference to Russia's traditions, Stalin did not “retreat” back along the existing path, but he did alter the Soviet Union's heading from one path to another. Initially, the divergence between the new and the old paths was not great. But over time, the new path would come to diverge more and more from the old one, until in the decades after Stalin the Soviet Union could be seen to be heading somewhere very different from where it had been heading at the start of the 1930s.

Abstract:

The Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB) was a visible presence across many significant trade unions in the post-war period, largely due to its industrial strategy. The party envisaged that politicising the rank and file of important trade unions and also capturing the leadership of these unions would allow it to influence the Labour Party, as these unions held a significant number of votes at Labour's annual conference. This chapter analyses the success of this strategy in the National Union of Mineworkers, a union that became increasingly emblematic of the difficulties trade unions faced in the late twentieth century, particularly obvious through its 1984 strike. This chapter considers the relationship between Communists in the party and those in the union, exploring the extent to which the party's strategy translated into the union in practice, and understanding if there was any conflict between these two groups who occupied distinctly different roles. Unpicking the concept of 'wage militancy', the way through which the party felt politicisation of the union rank and file would best be achieved, the chapter frames this discussion within the broader context of the increasingly divided CPGB, the political and economic policies of Labour and Conservative governments, and the union's national strikes.

Abstract:

The book opens with the claim that the great majority of Americans living in the free states in the Civil War era thought of themselves as “conservative”, even as they embraced change. Conservatism in the sense in which it was used in this period was not a political ideology but a disposition, a way of signalling a mature, measured approach to the problems of the nineteenth century. This self-defined “conservative” political culture embraced both an underlying antislavery consensus and a powerful devotion to the Union. The interplay of these two impulses—antislavery and nationalism—shaped Northerners’ political choices. In the face of each successive moment of crisis, most Northerners—whether Republicans or Democrats—sought the “conservative” solution that would reconcile the survival of the nation with their dislike of slavery.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter investigates how the marine ecosystem came to be the central object of conservation in the Convention on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources of 1980. This was a novel move in international law, because the protection of an entire ecosystem had never before been enshrined in a treaty. In the 1960s the Soviet Union began to investigate the potential of krill and other fisheries in the Antarctic. This worried other treaty parties and environmentalists because over-exploitation of krill would have flow-on effects on its predators. While the Soviet Union, joined by Japan and others, was resolutely pro-exploitation, other nations, led by the United States and Britain, were more pro-conservation, particularly focusing on protecting the ecosystem as a whole. The eventual codification of ecosystem protection demonstrated the power of the pro-conservation states at that time.

Abstract:

In the ensuing 1886 General Election, the Conservatives swept to power with their new Liberal Unionist allies, including Joseph Chamberlain and George Goschen. Lord Salisbury appointed Goschen as Chancellor of the Exchequer later in 1886. Goschen announced his ‘equivalent’ or ‘proportion’ in his 1888 Budget. The politics of Barnett formula's origins and its implications for public finance since 1997 are shown. This formula was never intended to be permanent. Lord Barnett has told the Treasury Committee that he did not expect it to last ‘a year or even twenty minutes’. Barnett was also a new Goschen for modern unionists. Three of the four main parties have called for Barnett reform. Scottish National Party and some Liberal Democrat and Conservative politicians have called for ‘fiscal autonomy’. The chapter then outlines the Conservative fiscal autonomists' position, not necessarily in language they would use. The explanation of regression on past spending is also given.

Had Richmond fallen in the spring of 1862, the Union might have been secured without emancipation and a majority of Northerners would have been entirely satisfied with that outcome, including Lincoln and most Republicans. But that did not happen, and this chapter describes how political positions that previously had been regarded by most Northerners as dangerously radical became normalised in wartime. As a conservative movement, driven above all by a desire to vindicate and preserve the Union, the Republican Party drove forward revolutionary change.

Abstract:

Chapter 6 examines the modern conservative movement and how the alliance of secular political elements with previously apolitical evangelicals slowly took shape during the thirty years following World War II. Richard Weaver’s Ideas Have Consequences (1948) served to provide some of the conservative movement’s essential historical and philosophical scaffolding, while Carl F. Henry’s Uneasy Conscience of Modern Fundamentalism (1947) encouraged evangelical political engagement. Oil tycoon and committed Presbyterian J. Howard Pew played a key role in galvanizing evangelicals by subsidizing Christianity Today and then linking them with political conservatives, being himself a former Liberty Leaguer and a fervent anticommunist. The presidential campaign of Barry Goldwater in 1964 stimulated evangelical political action and helped secure the essential union of more secular and openly religious conservatives. The Supreme Court’s controversial Roe v. Wade abortion decision in 1973 served to bolster this alliance by providing a moral issue that allowed some convergence and collaboration.

The introduction of internationally recognized environmental management standards is primarily aimed at making the world economy more environmentally friendly, and at more effective conservation of natural resources. The European Union has specific objectives related to the implementation of environmental protection policies by 2050. Effective pathways and approaches to the implementation of such policies and objectives in agriculture can be found through the introduction of a system according to the requirements of ISO 45001. The main objective of this study is to identify, based on an expert assessment, the milestones in introducing and successful certification of environmental management systems in agriculture. The established milestones for system development may be extended to other sectors.

Full text

Abstract:

The concept of sustainability began to dominate tourism debates after the United Nations Conference on the Environment and Development, the Earth Summit in Rio de Janerio in 1992. Ecotourism is the fastest growing sector, with an estimated growth rate of 25 to 30 percent, of one of the largest industries in the world. The motto of Action Program for Sustainable Development was that “Only whatever can be sustained by nature and society in the long term permissible.” The World Conservation Union expanded this definition as follows: “Ecotourism is environmentally responsible travel and visitation to relatively undisturbed natural areas, in order to enjoy and appreciate nature that promotes conservation, has low negative visitor impact, and provides for beneficially active socio-economic involvement of local populations.” There are two major problems with respect to ecotourism: achieving ecologic integrity of the ecotourism resource and, increasing and ensuring consistency of quality of the recreation experience for the ecotourist. Economic, environmental and social impacts involved in ecotourism should be balanced within ethical principles. The first official reference to the concept of ecotourism in Turkey was made in the Eighth Five-Year Development Plan (2001-2005). The aim of this study is to explore social impacts of ecotourism in Turkey. Some projects and surveys related with ecotourism will be considered in order to get better understanding of social impacts of ecotourism on the lives of local people in Turkey.

Full text

Abstract:

The article focuses on specific aspects of greening of production processes in food processing sector in Poland. It discusses relevant methods and techniques for managing the eco-friendly production process in the examined food processing enterprises in Poland, and compares the situation in the world. The purpose of the paper was also to present the results of the questionnaire on greening of producing process in food processing entities. The results of the questionnaire are preceded by a detailed analysis of different approaches to greening of production, along with an assessment of its future development according to the requirements of EU directives for food processing enterprises in Poland. The results showed that after Poland's accession to the European Union the majority of food processing enterprises implemented and intensified their efforts on water conservation, waste disposal, and reduction of energy consumption between 2010 and 2017. However, in practice, there was no considerable reduction of pollutants due to the setting of insufficient level of emission targets.

Full text

Abstract:

The significance of renewable energy is highly recognized all over the world. However, the impact of consuming renewable energy on the economy is very often disputable and contravercial. The paper explores links between consumption of renewable energy, economic growth, trade, capital and labour. The study covers 28 European Union countries for the period from 1990 to 2012. Energy has been considered as one of production factors, which has a great impact on output. Thus, the neo-classical Cobb-Douglas function has been employed to reach the aim of the article. Following the relevant state-of-art, economic growth, consumption of renewable energy, trade, capital and labour are considered as separate factors. The analysis indicates that consumption of renewable energy boots economy in 12 countries out of 28. The neutrality hypothesis has been confirmed in 2 countries, while the conservation hypothesis has been proved in 6 cases. The weakest links between the consumption of renewable energy and other factors has been noticed in Luxembourgh’s case.

Abstract:

In the world, the question of the good practice to manage of territory is a pillar of the implementations of Sustainable Development Goals 2015-2030. The authors are working in collaboration with a holistic approach at the topic. In this way, the Smart Communities and Smart Territories are the new paradigms in 21th Century to solve the question of the adaptation at the Climate Change and to guarantee, for the future generation, the conservation and promotion of all potentialities of each territory and identity of areas. Until now, they have use a deductive method to analyse and show, in the framework of the Sustainable Development, the Community Led Local Development (EU Programme for CLLD) and Ecosystem Services, the need to move from an emergency management approach to pre-emptive territory management. The results of this research have produced the original and autonomous configuration of a new and innovative strategy and governance based on a model that puts in synergy the three aspects of the framework that has been given the name of Territorial Management Contracts (TMC). The TMC, appear a possible shared and democratic model that could to combine the territory risk management with solutions of development driving and sharing by the local populations. This innovative approach is strictly linked with the targets of the Sustainable Development Goals 2015-2030 and the Europe 2020 (smart, sustainable and inclusive). The authors argue that the TMC model is now sufficiently mature to pass from the processing phase to that of the implementation that in the Payment of the Ecosystem Services (PES) finds a concrete reinforcement of the scientific analysis carried out.

Abstract:

Herein a comprehensive review and comparison of the parameters used in design of cylindrical tanks according to API 650 and Eurocodes is presented. API 650 is extensively used in many countries, including Greece, for the design of storage tanks. The European Community has developed a set of structural design codes named Eurocodes. They are the gathering and combination of existing design knowledge of many member states. Some of these codes are already mandatory in many member states, whereas others are still under discussion and improvement. The design of storage tanks is covered in the last editions of Eurocodes. It was found that the seismic design according to Eurocodes is more conservative that of API 650. As compared to API 650, the thickness of the first, second, and third courses of storage tanks needs to be increased by 15% or 20% on average, when the seismic design requirements of Eurocodes is used. Similarly the thickness of the bottom plate under the first course, must also be increased to comply with the seismic design requirements of Eurocodes. Most likely Eurocodes will be mandatory in the European Union, and therefore it is important to study and discuss the main differences between API 650 and Eurocodes. Undoubtedly API 650 is a historic and well-tested code. It has been applied in the design of storage tanks all over the world, however compliance with local and European laws is required to issue an installation license.

Abstract:

Political parties started to be established in Turkey in the second half of the 19th century with the formation of societies aiming at the reform of the Ottoman Empire. They reaped the fruits of their labour in 1908 when the Young Turk Revolution replaced the Sultan with the Committee of Union and Progress, which disbanded itself on the defeat of the Empire in 1918. Following the proclamation of the Republic in 1923, new parties started to be formed, but experiments with a multi-party system were soon abandoned in favour of a one-party system. From 1930 until the end of the Second World War, the People’s Republican Party (PRP) was the only political party. It was not until after the Second World War that Turkey reverted to a multiparty system. The most significant new parties were the Democrat Party (DP), formed on 7 January 1946, and the Nation Party (NP) formed on 20 July 1948, after a spilt in the DP. However, as a result of the coup of 27 May 1960, the military Government, the Committee of National Union (CNU), declared its intentions of seizing power, restoring rights and privileges infringed by the Democrats, and drawing up a new Constitution, to be brought into being by a free election. In January 1961, the CNU relaxed its initial ban on all political activities, and within a month eleven new parties were formed, in addition to the already established parties. The most important of the new parties were the Justice Party (JP) and New Turkey Party (NTP), which competed with each other for the DP’s electoral support. In the general election of October 1961, the PRP’s failure to win an absolute majority resulted in four coalition Governments, until the elections in October 1965. The General Election of October 1965 returned the JP to power with a clear, overall majority. The poor performance of almost all the minor parties led to the virtual establishment of a two-party system. Neither the JP nor the PRP were, however, completely united. With the General Election of October 1969, the JP was returned to office, although with a reduced share of the vote. The position of the minor parties declined still further. Demirel resigned on 12 March 1971 after receiving a memorandum from the Armed Forces Commanders threatening to take direct control of the country. Thus, an “above-party” Government was formed to restore law and order and carry out reforms in keeping with the policies and ideals of Atatürk. In March 1973, the “above-party” Melen Government resigned, partly because Parliament rejected the military candidate, General Gürler, whom it had supported in the Presidential Elections of March-April 1973. This rejection represented the determination of Parliament not to accept the dictates of the Armed Forces. On 15 April, a new “above party” government was formed by Naim Talu. The fundamental dilemma of Turkish politics was that democracy impeded reform. The democratic process tended to return conservative parties (such as the Democrat and Justice Parties) to power, with the support of the traditional Islamic sectors of Turkish society, which in turn resulted in the frustration of the demands for reform of a powerful minority, including the intellectuals, the Armed Forces and the newly purged PRP. In the last half of the 20th century, this conflict resulted in two periods of military intervention, two direct and one indirect, to secure reform and to quell the disorder resulting from the lack of it. This paper examines the historical development of the Turkish party system, and the factors which have contributed to breakdowns in multiparty democracy.
