The intensification of human activities, the growing demand for animal proteins due to the population explosion and organized poaching (ivory, pangolin scales, etc.) are leading to increasing pressure on the wildlife of Central African forests. To respond to these threats, strategies are being put in place at the national and regional levels. Effective wildlife management within certified concessions contributes to the overall objective of sound and sustainable management of Central Africa's forest heritage. This guide is an operational tool for Central African loggers. It presents in a pragmatic and illustrated manner the process of developing and implementing a wildlife management plan, starting with the legislative and regulatory frameworks to be respected and ending with the evaluation of its performance. The main wildlife management and conservation measures to be implemented are described in thematic sheets. A model wildlife management plan is presented, which proposes a hierarchy for the implementation of these different measures. This book aims to improve the practices of forestry operators in terms of wildlife management and to accompany them in a process of certification of legality or sustainability. / L'intensification des activités humaines, la demande croissante en protéines animales suite à l'explosion démographique et le braconnage organisé (ivoire, écailles de pangolins, ...) entrainent une pression croissante sur la faune sauvage des forêts d'Afrique centrale. Pour répondre à ces menaces, des stratégies sont mises en place aux échelles nationales et régionales. Une gestion efficace de la faune sauvage au sein des concessions certifiées concourt à l'objectif global d'une gestion raisonnée et durable du patrimoine forestier d'Afrique centrale. Le présent guide constitue un outil opérationnel à destination des exploitants forestiers d'Afrique centrale. Il présente de manière pragmatique et illustrée la démarche d'élaboration et de mise en oeuvre d'un plan de gestion de la faune, en partant des cadres législatifs et règlementaires à respecter jusqu'à l'évaluation de sa performance. Les principales mesures de gestion et de conservation de la faune à mettre en place sont décrites dans des fiches thématiques. Un canevas modèle de plan de gestion de la faune proposant une hiérarchisation dans la mise en oeuvre de ces différentes mesures est présenté. Cet ouvrage vise à améliorer les pratiques des exploitants forestiers en termes de gestion de la faune et à les accompagner dans une démarche de certification de légalité ou de durabilité.

"Animals are increasingly recognized as fit and proper subjects for historians, yet their place in conventional historical narratives remains contested. This volume argues for a history of animals based on the centrality of liminality - the state of being on the threshold, not quite one thing yet not quite another. Since animals stand between nature and culture, wildness and domestication, the countryside and the city, and tradition and modernity, the concept of liminality has a special resonance for historical animal studies."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

This book is an extended argument for abandoning the species rank. Instead, the author proposes that the rank of "species" be replaced by a pluralistic and multi-level view. In such a view, all clades including the smallest identifiable one would be named and studied within a phylogenetic context. What are currently called "species" represent different sorts of things depending on the sort of organisms and processes being considered. This is already the case, but is not formally recognized by those scientists using the species rank in their work. Adopting a rankless taxonomy at all levels would enhance academic studies of evolution and ecology and yield practical benefits in areas of public concern such as conservation. KEY FEATURES Proposes the replacement of restrictive species concepts with a pluralistic view Suggests abandoning the formal taxonomic rank of "species" Considers zoological, botanical, and microbiological aspects of the species level Deals with practical issues such as conservation, inventories, and field guides.

The University of Coimbra, with more than 730 years of history, has a vast accumulated, material and immaterial heritage, which reflects all periods of history and scientific research in Portugal. The universal value of this immense collection, in particular of the biological collections and libraries, calls upon the University of Coimbra for the effort to preserve it, but also to disseminate and value it. In the conviction of knowledge to be of all and for all, we revise ourselves in the certainty that Open Science is indispensable to a more informed and more aware society of the Planet it inhabits, contributing to make it more human, more just and more democratic. The illustrations reproduced here were taken from several works kept by the library of the Department of Life Sciences of the University of Coimbra. Thus, it was also our purpose to make known the rich and wide collection of the University of Coimbra, using books for one of its purposes: learning and a taste for science.
