Abstract

Between 1994 and 2008, voters approved almost 32 billion for local land conservation. However, there was at that time no resource available to guide officials as they implemented the voters' mandates. The Conservation Program Handbook was written in response to numerous requests to The Trust for Public Land for guidance from community leaders who wanted to know how to effectively conserve their iconic landscapes. The Conservation Program Handbook is a manual that provides all of the information--on a broad spectrum of topics--that conservation professionals are likely to require. It compiles and distills advice from professionals involved in successful conservation efforts across the country, including a list of "best practices" for the most critical issues conservationists can expect to face.

Abstract

There is growing interest in re-connecting urban residents with nature, but most conservationists want to work in pristine areas, and most urban areas are considered too degraded to rank high on conservation priority lists. Bringing Conservation to Cities is a timely and informative expose of what it takes to foster a conservation ethic in a major urban area--complete with critical lessons learned--and to simultaneously inspire and develop the next generation of urban conservationists. The book explores the new urban conservation frontier, with its numerous challenges and opportunities, and fosters more urban conservation initiatives throughout the world.

Abstract

The Texas Landscape Project explores conservation and ecology in Texas by presenting a highly visual and deeply researched view of the widespread changes that have affected the state as its population and economy have boomed and as Texans have worked ever harder to safeguard its bountiful but limited natural resources. Covering the entire state, from Pineywoods bottomlands and Panhandle playas to Hill Country springs and Big Bend canyons, the project examines a host of familiar and not so familiar environmental issues. A companion volume to The Texas Legacy Project, this book tracks specific environmental changes that have occurred in Texas using more than 300 color maps, expertly crafted by cartographer Jonathan Ogren, and over 100 photographs that coalesce to fashion a broad portrait of the modern Texas landscape. The rich data, compiled by author David Todd, are presented in clearly written yet marvelously detailed text that gives historical context and contemporary statistics for environmental trends connected to the land, water, air, energy, and built world of the second-largest and second-most populated state in the nation. An engaging read for any environmentalist or conscientious citizen, The Texas Landscape Project provides a true sense of the grand scope of the Lone Star State and the high stakes of protecting it.

Abstract

L’initiative de la Grande Muraille Verte (GMV), projet transcontinental, est une réponse de l’Afrique à la désertification, à la pauvreté et au changement climatique. Elle repose sur une approche concertée, multisectorielle, mettant en synergie des actions de lutte contre ces trois fléaux majeurs pour le continent africain. La particularité de la GMV est, tout en créant et consolidant une ligne de défense par des activités de reboisement et d’aménagement, de contribuer efficacement au développement intégré des zones rurales et d’aider à la lutte contre la pauvreté dans le cadre d’un développement durable. Il s’agit de l’installation et de la mise en valeur intégrée d’espèces végétales à valeur économique adaptées aux terres arides et aux particularités locales, de bassins de rétention, de systèmes de production agricoles et autres activités génératrices de revenus. La GMV intègre ainsi plusieurs systèmes des plantations artificielles anciennes ou nouvelles, des unités agro-sylvo-pastorales. Des zones de parcours villageoises ou intercommunautaires, des parcs animaliers, des réserves communautaires et des couloirs de migration de faune. Cet édifice transcontinental est une référence de modèle d’intégration sous-régional mettant en exergue une initiative originale initiée par des pays fortement assujettis aux phénomènes de désertification et de changement climatique Il constitue un Modèle Multisectoriel de Développement Intégré des Zones Andes (MDI/ZA). Dédié à la lutte contre tes effets et l’avancée de la désertification, à la restauration et la mise en valeur des zones dégradées et au mécanisme de développement propre dû à sa forte capacité de séquestration de carbone. L’ouvrage vise un large public, notamment les scientifiques, enseignants, décideurs, techniciens charges de la mise en œuvre de la GMV et permet d’apprécier l’originalité du projet dans son approche concertée et multisectorielle et ses résultats dans le développement intégré des zones arides a semi-arides.
