The Environmental Protection in South-American Integration ProcessIsabela Espíndola
The present article analyze how the environment is treated in
UNASUR, one of the latest regional integration projects in South America, which currently presents itself as an important space for the resolution of regional conflicts and establishment as a supranational institution to integrate the countries of the region. For the theoretical development of this research, a
bibliography review process was made, acquiring the bibliographical references and applicable legislations to the subject to compare the similarities and differences between the member countries of UNASUR. The analysis begins with the Constitutive Treaty of UNASUR, the principal legal system within the Union, to see how the environment is considered in this regional integration process. Then, it is studied the environmental legislation of each country that are part of UNASUR. It is concluded that the Union recognizes that preservation of the environment as fundamental for the very maintenance of life and to achieve the development of its member states, highlighting the environmental debate as
a premise for the South American policies processes of the Union itself.

resource use conflicts and biodiversity conservation in jozani ecosystem, zan...IJEAB
Resource Conflicts are the major challenge to the responsible Institutions in the management and conservation of biodiversity in Zanzibar due to the existence of multiple and interactive reasons that lead to conflicts. This paper intends to reveal the less known current status of resource conflicts in the management of biodiversity in Jozani ecosystem, Zanzibar. The study employed descriptive survey research design of the causal comparative research design to collect data from 280 respondents which constitute the study population. Descriptive statistics such as percentages, mean, frequency, standard deviation and Pearson correlation were used for data analysis. The outcome of the study showed that there is significant relationship existed between resource conflicts and the management of biodiversity conservation in Jozani ecosystem. The study has implications for environmental policy makers. The study concludes by asserting that unemployment, poverty and scarcity of environmental resources are the major causes of conflict, therefore the call is directed to policy makers to strengthen efforts on resolving conflicts by establishing overall strategies such as establishment of participatory community-based approaches to natural resource management, conflict resolution capacity building measures among the stakeholders, amendment of Laws and expansion of employment to reduce direct relying on using natural resource assets for livelihood.

Natural habitats and landscapes or seascapes that are governed and managed by indigenous peoples and local communities cover a considerable part of the earth, and contribute significantly to conservation, livelihoods, and human security. They could contribute much more if appropriately recognised and supported. Somewhat updated version of an earlier presentation.

Looking beyond the forest horizon for an effective sust forest managementLuc Gnacadja
It is human development, or at least the quest for it, which caused the conversion of billions of hectares of forests into man-made deserts. To reverse the tide and change such an inherent habit, we must think and operate outside of the “forest” box. We must look beyond the rainforest horizon and embrace holistic approaches to the entire landscape. That is my call. That is my message for you today, if we want to make sustainable forest management a green pathway for human development.
Research paper: Community Based Natural Resources Management in VietnamSPERI
This research paper will discuss the role of the community in natural resource management, particularly land and forest management and protection in Vietnam. The paper offers a discussion of environmental discourses that are related to the impacts of state land and forest management policies. Though ethnic communities in Vietnam have developed their knowledge and institutional systems in community natural resource management for a long time, communities were not recognized formally as one of the land users until 2003. Even then, though communities were identified as land users, few communities could attain land title. Those policies have had consequences with communities and their members facing shortages of land and forest. Nevertheless, those resources are essential for sustaining local people’s livelihoods, protecting forest, and keeping their cultural values.
The paper is organized in three main parts. The first summaries some key environmental discourses, especially ‘sustainable development’, and introduces concepts of culture, customary laws and community-based natural resource management. The second part deals with resource management and related legal framework in Vietnam. The third part illustrates the role of community in land and forest use and protection through a discussion of a Thai ethnic community in Vietnam

This is a presentation I gave to a recent NortHACKton meeting. The audience were a mixture of seasoned developers who were new to Python and complete newbies who'd never coded anything before.
In the end everyone created a Parrot class and did a show and tell of their code to the rest of the group.

Launched at the LAC Climate Week 2019 by WWF, the briefing document "The Case for Ambition: Practical lessons for enhancing NDCs in Latin America" aimed to highlight practical case studies from the region.
The case studies present learnings from Peru, Colombia, México, Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Costa Rica on the implementation of their climate commitments (or Nationally Determined Contributions, NDCs).
The mangroves of Panamá store and sequester enormous amounts of organic carbon not only in their vegetation, but also in roots and soil. Wetlands International works together with UNDP and national governmental authorities to find out how much exactly and to make sure that these carbon pools and sinks are better managed and protected. For their contribution to climate change mitigation, but also to maintain their broad range of ecosystem services in support of local adaptation.
Statement by the executive secretary of the convention on biological diversit...Christina Parmionova
Forests harbor some 80 per cent of the world’s terrestrial biodiversity; they support more than a
billion people with food, shelter, income, and energy. And they provide three quarters of the
world’s accessible freshwater. Containing over half of the global carbon stock in soils and
vegetation, forests also support us in combating climate change.
The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, or the Biodiversity Plan, is a
comprehensive plan to protect forests and all ecosystems. Its goals are closely aligned with the
Global Forest Goals. They aim to to protect and restore nature; to prosper with nature; to share
benefits fairly; and to invest and collaborate for nature.
Over the past year, we have seen bold actions on forest conservation regionally and globally. A
number of countries have achieved major reductions in the rate of deforestation. The Belem
Declaration on the future of the Amazon Forest, the Three Basins Summit, and the Climate Change
Conference all set renewed commitments to step up action to protect forests.
But forests continue to face major threats.
The theme this year for International Day of Forests “Forests and Innovation: New Solutions for a
Better World” is thus very pertinent. We need innovation and new solutions to provide early
warning of forest fires and other threats, to combat organized crime, and to promote sustainable
forest management and fair supply chains in support of a sustainable bioeconomy. New solutions
can build on the knowledge, innovations and practices of indigenous peoples and local
communities and help to secure their rights over land and resources.
Let us all work together to protect forests and to implement the Biodiversity Plan.
Let us work to halt and reverse the loss of biodiversity by 2030, towards our vision on living in
harmony with nature.
We can all be part of the Plan.
Weekly Wetlands Sustainability Report - NET Africa (www.netafrica.be)NET Africa
This week we focus on water pollution in the Niger River, shared by five different countries within the West African region. We also learn about the #FossilFreeFuture Campaign in llaje, Ondo State. We then discuss the EIA as well as the process of becoming a paralegal to communicate what people can do to challenge environmental injustice.
We need to establish common interlinked platforms at global, regional and national levels for coherent dialogue and policy action, supported by research, related to climate change, agriculture, forestry, crisis response and food security. This session explores the nexus between climate change, agriculture and new needs in partnership. It draws on two CGIAR programs: “Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security” and “Forests, Trees and Agroforestry”

Nous avons besoins de mettre en place des plates formes d’interactions communes aux niveaux mondial, régional et national pour un dialogue et politique d’actions cohérents supportés par la recherche sur le changement climatique, l’agriculture, la foresterie, les crises et la sécurité alimentaire. Cette section examine les rapports entre le changement climatique, l’agriculture et les nouveaux besoins en partenariat. Il attire l’attention sur deux programmes du CGIAR : "Changement climatique, Agriculture et Sécurité alimentaire" et "Forêts, Arbres et Agroforesterie"
