This article offers an Analysis on the Governance of the Virunga National Park (ViNP) using the Landscape Approach. We started from the constant misunderstanding and perpetual opposition of the riverside population on the management of the ViNP. The question is the management strategy to involve the local population in the sustainable management of the Virunga National Park. After presenting and analyzing the data provided to us by 394 respondents constituting the sample size consider in relation to strategies of public involvement in the sustainable management of the ViNP. The results showed that the local community is not fully involved in the management of the ViNP, and for their involvement we have proposed the Landscape approach that does not exclude anyone as an alternative to the integrated and sustainable management of the Park. After several years of experimentation, the results of the old approach are far from satisfactory. This study is one of the doctoral research findings on the landscape approach to sustainable management of the ViNP.

Collective Action for Forest Management, Challenges and Failures: Review Pape...Premier Publishers
Global natural resource depletion is among the most challenging problems faced by human beings. Its severity is very high in sub-Saharan African countries including Ethiopia. The purpose of this paper was to review the role of collective action for forest management, challenges and failures in Ethiopia. National level environmental conservation and rehabilitation efforts have been established and implemented with particular focus on the fast deteriorating highland areas for a long time. However, state-based forest resource management approach could not bring the desired results and failed to conserve forest resource degradation in Ethiopia. It has been argued that state-based forest resource management is failed due to different reasons including lack of local people’s participation, state organs do not access remote areas where there is no good road infrastructures, rent seeking and corruption by state officials at different levels. Collective action primarily focused on forest resource management have recently introduced, and implemented in the form of participatory forest management for the last two decades. Nevertheless, the success of collective forest management is also affected by different factors and being faced several challenges in achieving sustainable forest management.
The Challenges of Decentralized Management of the Ngoyla-Mintom Forest Massif...AI Publications
This research is based on the participatory appraisal of the Ngoyla-Mintom Forest Resources Conservation and Sustainable Use Project. It allows the various stakeholders met to take stock of the success factors of the decentralized forest management project implemented in their region and the constraints related to its ownership. The grid for this participatory assessment is based on the framework for assessing the effectiveness of the management of protected areas developed by Hockings et al (2006) on behalf of the World Commission on Protected Areas (WCPA). This involves measuring the following six key aspects: the context for creating a protected area (potential and threats); site management planning; inputs (inputs - resources or means of action); the management process; the outputs in terms of immediate effects (outputs) and finally, the results in terms of sustainability (outcomes). The choice of this evaluation framework is justified by the fact that it has become the world benchmark for the management of protected areas and fits well with the purpose of this study. This reflection is based on data from secondary and primary sources. The main results obtained show that the impacts of the Ngoyla-Mintom Project are globally positive in ecological and socio-economic terms. As for the impacts on the living environment, we are witnessing the regeneration of flora and the repopulation of wildlife species.

Case study: Community-based natural resource management: Case of Thai ethnic ...SPERI
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 presentation was prepared and delivered during a workshop that involved Members of Parliament on the Natural Resources and Climate Change Committee of Parliament. The workshop was organized by the Ecological Christian Organization. The objective of the workshop was to create awareness among the Honorable members of Parliament about the ongoing review of the National Forestry Policy, (a process coordinated by the Forest Sector Support Department in the Ministry of Water and Environment). Furthermore, to get their general feedback and specific inputs into the review process with due consideration of the various emerging issues in the Forestry sector over the last 18 years since the forestry policy and legal framework came into force in 2001 and 2003, respectively. Thus, the presentation raised various emerging issues in this respect for consideration during the review process and also suggested recommendation on how the Honorable Members of Parliament should proactively engage in the process to ensure that resultant policy framework adequately addresses the emerging issues and also stands the taste of time.

The provision of forest biodiversity remains a major challenge in the management of forest resources.
Biodiversity is mostly considered a public good and the fact that societal benefits from biodiversity are private
information, hinders its supply at adequate levels. Here we investigate how the government, as a forest owner,
may increase the biodiversity supply in publicly-owned forests. We employ a mechanism design approach to find
the biodiversity provision choices, which take into account agents’ strategic behavior and values towards bio-
diversity. We applied our framework to a forest landscape in Southwestern Germany, using forest birds as
biodiversity indicators and evaluating the impacts of climate change on forest dynamics and on the costs of
biodiversity provision. Our results show that climate change has important implications to the opportunity cost
of biodiversity and the provision levels (ranging from 10 to 12.5% increase of the bird indicator abundance). In
general, biodiversity valuations needed to surpass the opportunity cost by more than 18% to cope with the
private information held by the agents. Moreover, higher costs under more intense climate change (e.g.
Representative Concentration Pathway 8.5) reduced the attainable bird abundance increase from 12.5 to 10%.
We conclude that mechanism design may provide key information for planning conservation policies and
identify conditions for a successful implementation of biodiversity-oriented forest management.
1. Introduction
The provision of biodiversity remains a major challenge in the
management of forest resources. Biodiversity has been continuously
declining worldwide during the past decades, despite its recognized
importance to human well-being, ecosystem functioning and ecosystem
resistance and resilience under climate change (Díaz et al., 2006; Isbell
et al., 2015; Tilman et al., 2014). A main constraint to the im-
plementation of biodiversity conservation strategies is the fact that
biodiversity is mostly considered a public good, and in the absence of
markets or policy mechanisms to promote its provision, there are in-
centives for free riding and undersupply. One option to tackle this issue,
is to enhance biodiversity goals in public forests. The government, as a
forest owner and aiming to promote an efficient use of forest resou ...

In Ethiopian context,
‘PFM is a working partnership between the concerned government institutions and the local communities for forest management based on negotiated and defined roles, responsibilities and agreed upon benefit sharing arrangements aimed at enhancing forest conditions and improving livelihoods of rural communities’
PFM in Ethiopia can be understood as a management regime aimed at achieving better and sustainable forest development through balancing conservation and utilization by mobilizing, organizing, participating and transferring management responsibilities to local communities living in and around forest areas
From 27-29 October 2014, WLE, in cooperation with the CGIAR Systemwide Program on Collective Action and Property Rights (CAPRI) and the CGIAR Research Program on Forests, Trees, and Agroforestry (FTA), held a workshop on Institutions for Ecosystems Services in Washington DC.
The goals of the workshop were to:
-Encourage sharing and discussion on research methods and tools to study the links between institutions and ecosystem services
-Synthesize lessons about institutional arrangements needed to ensure that ecosystem services projects are able to deliver benefits to local resource users and produce local, regional, and national global environmental benefits
-Identify policies and program interventions that can strengthen these institutions
-Outline priorities for future research, policy, and project implementation, particularly of relevance for PIM, WLE, and FTA programs
Forest and Wildlife resources are of great significance to millions of people, especially those whose livelihoods largely depend on them. These resources play a key role in protecting the environment and are of tremendous importance to the sustainable development of every country. Forest and Wildlife resources policies and institutions are critical to achieving sustainable forest management. Recognizing the importance of forest and wildlife resources and the need for appropriate measures to optimize their utilization and management in Ghana, various past governments formulated policies for developing a national forest estate, wildlife sites and a timber industry that guarantee a full range of sustainable benefits for the population. However, most of the forest and wildlife policies have failed to address the fundamental challenges of forest and wildlife management in the country.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

Micro RNA genes and their likely influence in rice (Oryza sativa L.) dynamic ...Open Access Research Paper
Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs molecules having approximately 18-25 nucleotides, they are present in both plants and animals genomes. MiRNAs have diverse spatial expression patterns and regulate various developmental metabolisms, stress responses and other physiological processes. The dynamic gene expression playing major roles in phenotypic differences in organisms are believed to be controlled by miRNAs. Mutations in regions of regulatory factors, such as miRNA genes or transcription factors (TF) necessitated by dynamic environmental factors or pathogen infections, have tremendous effects on structure and expression of genes. The resultant novel gene products presents potential explanations for constant evolving desirable traits that have long been bred using conventional means, biotechnology or genetic engineering. Rice grain quality, yield, disease tolerance, climate-resilience and palatability properties are not exceptional to miRN Asmutations effects. There are new insights courtesy of high-throughput sequencing and improved proteomic techniques that organisms’ complexity and adaptations are highly contributed by miRNAs containing regulatory networks. This article aims to expound on how rice miRNAs could be driving evolution of traits and highlight the latest miRNA research progress. Moreover, the review accentuates miRNAs grey areas to be addressed and gives recommendations for further studies.
Diabetes is a rapidly and serious health problem in Pakistan. This chronic condition is associated with serious long-term complications, including higher risk of heart disease and stroke. Aggressive treatment of hypertension and hyperlipideamia can result in a substantial reduction in cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes 1. Consequently pharmacist-led diabetes cardiovascular risk (DCVR) clinics have been established in both primary and secondary care sites in NHS Lothian during the past five years. An audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery at the clinics was conducted in order to evaluate practice and to standardize the pharmacists’ documentation of outcomes. Pharmaceutical care issues (PCI) and patient details were collected both prospectively and retrospectively from three DCVR clinics. The PCI`s were categorized according to a triangularised system consisting of multiple categories. These were ‘checks’, ‘changes’ (‘change in drug therapy process’ and ‘change in drug therapy’), ‘drug therapy problems’ and ‘quality assurance descriptors’ (‘timer perspective’ and ‘degree of change’). A verified medication assessment tool (MAT) for patients with chronic cardiovascular disease was applied to the patients from one of the clinics. The tool was used to quantify PCI`s and pharmacist actions that were centered on implementing or enforcing clinical guideline standards. A database was developed to be used as an assessment tool and to standardize the documentation of achievement of outcomes. Feedback on the audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery and the database was received from the DCVR clinic pharmacist at a focus group meeting.
UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
Global forest-governance-bringing-forestry-science-back-in
1. Global Forest Governance -
Bringing Forestry Science
(back) in (Author: Stefan Werland)
By Sajal Saha, Md. Mahmudul Hasan and Rakib Bin Asghar
2. Four Broader Aspects of
This research
1. The kind of knowledge forestry science
produces,
2. Forestry science’s perception of political
processes and actors,
3. The engagement of forestry scientists in political
processes, and,
4. Forestry scientists’ attitude towards whether
forestry science should play an active role in
political processes.
3. Forest Governance
It comprises ____
1. All formal and informal, public and private
regulatory structures, i.e. institutions consisting of
rules, norms, principles, decision procedures,
concerning forests, their utilization and their
conservation,
2. The interactions between public and private actors
therein and
3. The effects of either on forests.
5. Concept of The Core Forest
Process
In core forest process, forests are framed as
sovereign resources
The Core Forest Process duplicate the ‘traditional’
forest discourse and domestic actor coalitions on the
international level
6. Conception of Global
Governance
The concept of ‘global governance’ used as a
heuristic framework in order to capture the
changing socio-political environment in that
forestry science acts.
It looks upon international political processes not
exclusively in terms of inter-governmental
negotiations, but understands international politics
as attempts to resolve (global) problems.
8. The Core Forest Process
At the United Nations Conference on Environment
and Development (UNCED) also known as the ‘Rio de
Janeiro Earth Summit’ in 1992, the Earths' forests were
given a place on the global political agenda.
Rio- Process resulted an indeterminate call ‘to
contribute to the management, conservation and
sustainable development of forests to provide for their
multiple and complementary functions and uses’
9. Major Outcome of Core
Forest Process
One of the few outcomes of the Core Forest Process
is the concept of ‘sustainable forest management ‘
The concept is an evolution of the ‘traditional’
sustainable yield perspective on forests and was
developed within forestry institutions and
university forest departments
10. Drawbacks of The Core Forest Process
Participation and compliance are voluntary and the
‘Global Objectives’ are not quantifiable.
The Core Forest Process has yet to affect “changes in
the behavior of actors, in the interests of actors, or in
the policies and performance of institutions”
The interest based approach to international forest
politics seems appropriate to explain the
ineffectiveness of the Core Forest Process
12. Global Forest Governance
Global Forest governance not only comprises international
conventions and intergovernmental negotiations, but also a
multitude of transnational processes with state- and non-
state actors such as national bureaucracies, NGOs or
scientific communities involved, gain greater influence on
politics
13. Three aspects of Global
Governance
1. Processes of denationalization and the emergence of a global
public domain beyond the sphere of states
2. The changing role of non-state actors in this new realm, and
the emergence of non-hierarchical modes of steering that do
not rely on state’s formal authority.
3. Demands different forms of legitimacy. Governments may
not necessarily be contested as central actors in international
politics, but atleast are supplemented through civic, non-state
actors such as NGOs, lobbyists, knowledge brokers, and
scientists
14. Global Forest Governance
Convention on Biological Diversity
The Convention on Biological Diversity developed from the ‘scientific
agreements’ that the current rate of global species extinction exceeds the
natural rate by far.
Conservation biologists and ecologists had been central scientific actors
in bringing biodiversity conservation onto the global policy agenda.
Scientists formed coalitions with other non-state actors in order to gain
influence and to promote a “comprehensive, ecosystem approach” to
nature conversation on the international level
15. Global Forest Governance
The United Nations Framework Convention on
Climate Change
• Scientists pointed to the importance of forests for the global
climate system and thereby established the global dimensions of
forests and forest management for the first time
• The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change
(UNFCCC) refers to ‘forests’ by calling upon its signatory states
to’ promote and cooperate in the conservation
16. Global Forest Governance
Private norm setting – FSC
•The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) was established one
year after the Rio Conferences' failure to pass a forest
convention.
•FSC's organizational structure comprises a General Assembly
that consists of three equally weighted chambers with
stakeholders. The chambers are staffed with equal numbers of
members from developed and developing countries.
17. The Shift of the Policy Field
Differences between the
‘ecosystem approach’ and
‘sustainable forest
management’ have been
settled: it declares that
“sustainable forest
management can be
considered as a means of
applying the ecosystem
approach to forests”.
18. Consequences:
The Changing Forest Policy
Field
The ineffectiveness of the Core Forest Process can be
explained in terms of interstate-bargaining
Forests are framed as national resources, and
transboundary implications of forest management are
‘systematically ignored’
19. Consequences:
The Changing Forest Policy
Field
Core Forest Process, it ignores the dimensions of
problem definition and agenda setting that are
considered in the broader conception of global forest
politics
The specific structure of the globalized forest policy
field helped actors from environmental departments to
have a stronger voice within their governments
20. Consequences:
The Changing Forest Policy
Field
Ministry for the Environment is responsible for
international biodiversity and climate change
negotiations and this exerts greater influence on local
forest management
The crucial benchmark for scientific influence is not
the degree of reliable information about a given
problem, but the socially constructed appropriateness
of specific knowledge forms
21. Consequences:
The Changing Forest Policy
Field
According to internationalization of forest politics,
‘forest’ is
1. globalized, i.e. taken out of its local, site-specific
context and understood as being part and parcel of
global ecosystems; and
2. Framed as an environmental issue, i.e. the orientation
on owners‘ objectives and local services
23. First, forests are framed as forming part of global
ecological systems and no longer predominantly as
national resources
Second, environmental administrations, NGOs, or
private norm setters– influence forest policy at
different stages of the policy process
Third, forest conceptualizations are not stable—
neither in time, nor cross-level.
Three different aspects of forest
governance were addressed in this
paper
24. Possible Roles for Forestry
Science
The strength of forestry science as an application-
oriented research program seems to lie with the
implementation of political decisions
The growing international concern for forests seems
to benefit global conceptualizations and confronts
the traditional conception of forests and forestry
with its inherent local orientation
25. Possible Roles for Forestry
Science
Forestry science occupies a strategic position within
the policy field between politics and
implementation and forest governance needs to be
better communicated
Forest owners, foresters and the local and regional
forestry administration–with its close ties to forestry
science is losing its monopoly in formulating
forestry relevant political norms
26. Possible Roles for Forestry
Science
Forestry science has to recognize the increasing
politicization of ‘the forest’ and the shift that has
occurred within ‘its’ policy field.
For the effectiveness of forest governance, forestry
science's strategic position in processes of implementation
needs to be better communicated towards non-
silvicultural governmental and non governmental actors.
27. Possible Roles for Forestry
Science
Forestry science should actively engage in promoting an
image for forest communities that frames forests and
forestry management to develop feasible concepts for
local implementation,
for example through the development of evaluation
criteria for lost benefits from the reduced utilization of
forests for timber production, and the development of
adequate compensation schemes
28. Possible Roles for Forestry
Science
Forestry science should seek strategic coalitions with
non-forestry actors.
Forest science should reconcile diverging demands on
the global level as well as between global and local
necessities.
