Abstract

"This would be a primer on the topic of ecological restoration, written in straightforward accessible language that educated nonexperts can understand. The book would emphasize the interdisciplinary nature of the discipline and the need for restorationists to have a working knowledge of everything from ecosystem functioning to project management expertise to public policy and outreach. The beauty of this primer is its straightforward coverage of each relevant topic and suggestions for follow-up readings should a student or class instructor wish to delve further into particular areas"--

Abstract

For most, "conservation" conjures the notion of minimizing human presence on wildlands to avoid harmful impacts. But too often, this defensive approach has pitted local communities against conservationists, wasting opportunities for collaboration and setting the stage for ongoing conflict. One conservation approach turns that paradigm on its head, and instead connects conservation with the well-being of human communities, setting both up for success. Called "Full Nature," this approach--pioneered by conservationist Ignacio Jiménez--seeks to promote fully functional natural landscapes that are tied to the basic needs of the communities in their midst. They become a self-sustaining cycle, where nature and people are integrated ecologically, socially, and politically. Effective Conservation is based on Jiménez's experience managing conservation projects on three continents over thirty years. Jiménez offers a pragmatic approach to conservation that puts the focus on working with people--neighbors, governments, politicians, businesses, media--to ensure they have a long-term stake in protecting and restoring parks and wildlife. Jiménez guides readers through the practical considerations of designing, analyzing, and managing effective conservation programs. Chapters explore intelligence gathering, communication, planning, conflict management, and evaluation techniques, and include numerous text boxes showcasing examples of successful conservation projects from all continents. A companion website (islandpress.org/effective-conservation) includes additional case studies, expanded texts, and links to additional resources. This highly readable manual, newly translated into English after successful Spanish and Portuguese editions, provides a groundbreaking and time-proven formula for successful conservation projects around the world that bring together parks, people, and nature.--

Abstract

Pour son 11e colloque biennal, organisé à Barcelone les 22 et 23 septembre 2017, l’Association internationale de droit de l’urbanisme s’est intéressée à l’important thème du patrimoine architectural, des sites et des paysages saisis par le droit de l’urbanisme.Le présent ouvrage est le fruit des travaux du colloque.Une introduction générale a pour objet de circonscrire le champ et les enjeux du sujet retenu.Suivent divers rapports thématiques sur l’étendue du patrimoine protégé, sur les acteurs concernés par la protection, sur les instruments destinés à protéger l’intégrité de l’élément de patrimoine existant, mais également sur les instruments spécifiques de mise en valeur et de valorisation de ce patrimoine et sur les mécanismes de financement et de fiscalité consacrés en matière de protection architecturale et naturelle. Un rapport espagnol spécifique vient s’ajouter à chacun de ces rapports thématiques, tandis qu’un rapport de synthèse ponctue l’ensemble, en vue d’en présenter les principaux axes de réflexions.Sont publiés, à leur suite, les treize rapports nationaux qui ont fourni la substance des travaux thématiques et de synthèse. Dans l’ordre alphabétique, ces rapports concernent l’Allemagne, la Belgique — francophone et néerlandophone —, l’Espagne, les États-Unis d’Amérique, la France, la Grèce, l’Italie, les Pays-Bas, le Portugal, la Roumanie, la Suisse et la Turquie qui, tous, évoquent l’état du droit national en cause au sujet de chacune des thématiques évoquées. Un rapport sur le droit de l’Union européenne complète le panorama national.
