A Brief Note On Marine Pollution And Its EffectsLindsey Rivera
This document discusses the concept of biodiversity, which refers to the diversity of genes, species, and ecosystems within a given area. Biodiversity provides essential goods and services that support human well-being, such as food, water, and regulation of natural disasters. However, human activities are causing mass extinction of species at an alarming rate. Over 17,000 plant and animal species currently face extinction, and biodiversity loss continues to accelerate despite recognition of the problem decades ago. The impacts of human society were once small, but have grown enormously and threaten biodiversity on which humans depend.

Managing cooperation programs in developing countries: a comparative analysis...Alberto Asquer
This document summarizes a comparative case study analyzing how cooperation programs funded by Italian foreign aid are managed in 5 developing countries: Kenya, Pakistan, Brazil, Somalia, and Egypt.
The study finds that organizational routines aimed at standardizing practices to prevent diversion of funds had limited effectiveness, while routines aimed at establishing collaborative relationships and buffering from external influences enhanced program implementation.
Effective management depended on features of the governmental administration and local policy community, with presence of religious/community organizations playing a brokerage role associated with less diversion of funds in more fragmented systems. The findings suggest models of foreign aid effectiveness need to account for characteristics of administrative systems and local policy domains.
Environmental Governance in Latin_America.pdfKettlebeanHouse
This book stemmed from a three-year project to enhance understanding, knowledge and capacity regarding environmental governance in sub-Saharan Africa through collaborative, transdisciplinary research across natural resource sectors and institutions in the region. The project was prompted by an increasing realization of how important it is to understand the governance of complex human-ecological systems in a world faced with rapid environmental change, conflicts over dwindling natural resources, and crises of economic, social and ecological sustainability. Developing intellectual capacity in this arena is fundamental to improving governance, which is a critical requirement for achieving sustainability, reducing inequality and setting in place social justice approaches that benefit the most marginalized sectors of society.
Joan Martinez-Alier (ICTA-UAB). Environmental Justice, Liabilities and Trade.environmentalconflicts
EJOLT is a collaborative research project between ecological economists and environmental justice organizations that aims to study environmental conflicts around resource extraction and waste disposal. It seeks to increase visibility of these issues and support impacted communities. The project builds off a previous initiative and involves partners researching topics like risk assessment, environmental liabilities, consumption patterns, and related policies. Key outputs include case studies, training materials, and recommendations to link activist and academic knowledge on achieving environmental sustainability and justice.
This document analyzes the potential for developing forest clusters in five Latin American countries based on the Nordic country model. It uses Porter's "diamond" model to examine the key factors that determine competitiveness for forest clusters, including firms, factor conditions, demand conditions, related/supporting industries, and the external business environment. The study aims to identify opportunities for forestry/forest industry development, define lessons from successful Nordic clusters, and formulate policy recommendations. An executive summary provides an overview of the objectives, analytical framework and highlights from cluster analyses of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Mexico.
The document summarizes key findings from a stocktaking exercise of 122 green economy knowledge products produced by UN agencies and partners. It finds that over half of the products focus on best practices and case studies, while nearly half provide policy analysis and assessment tools. The most common policy focuses are finance/investment, environment/natural resources, and fiscal policy, though social inclusiveness is addressed in only a third of products. Energy, water and agriculture are the top three sectors covered. Many products are intended for global use, but focus on Asia, Latin America and Africa. The analysis identifies potential knowledge gaps around private sector engagement, local implementation, social inclusiveness, and inter-agency collaboration.
This document summarizes three examples of how traditional knowledge has been mobilized across different scales to monitor biodiversity and achieve the Aichi Biodiversity Targets. The examples include: 1) Indicators developed by the Convention on Biological Diversity to monitor progress at an international level. 2) A collaborative project in Sweden to operationalize targets at a national level. 3) An indigenous tribe in New Zealand that uses community-led indicators to monitor ecosystems and traditional knowledge at a local level and contributes to monitoring networks. The document discusses challenges of combining different knowledge systems and scales in biodiversity assessments.
The "Future of Revaluing Ecosystems" meeting brought together 28 experts to explore ways to better measure and manage the world's natural capital and its contributions to human well-being. Key discussions focused on future trends that will influence ecosystem valuation like rising consumption, climate change, and data availability. Scenarios of different trends in 2025 were explored, such as greater ecosystem shocks triggering demand for more sustainable supply chains. Participants also discussed solutions like financial instruments for ecosystem restoration and new ratings agencies to direct capital to ecosystem management. The overall goal was to change perspectives on nature from something sacrificed for development to something that underpins development.

This document discusses an investigation into governance structures for regional nonprofit collaborations. It summarizes that the Land Between program began as a collaboration but faced risks from having one lead agency with ultimate authority. An investigation was conducted over one year, funded by Ontario Trillium Foundation, to choose a governance structure that embodied the already effective operations while not creating a new regime. Interviews and research on analogous groups revealed that participation and collaboration within an organization was related to its governance structure and style, in turn affecting sustainability. Through a Talking Circle process, a solution was found that balanced pluralistic issues and empowered participation without duplicating efforts.

Mono-cropping is endangering genetic diversity while a small number of plants now supply most of humanity's food. Water shortages are a growing problem, with over 3 billion people projected to lack adequate drinking water by 2035. Non-renewable resources like metals are being depleted, which could impact technologies. The paradigm is shifting from viewing nature as unlimited to recognizing natural resources as limiting, requiring more sustainable approaches.

This document summarizes various donor approaches to extractive industries management. It discusses how donors have increasingly supported multi-stakeholder initiatives like the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI). EITI aims to increase transparency around payments from oil, gas and mining companies to governments. The document also outlines individual donor strategies, noting that the World Bank provides the most funding and that governance and institutional capacity building are common priorities. It concludes by recommending donors strengthen regulatory frameworks, capacity, transparency and inclusive decision-making regarding extractive projects.

Floristic diversity in a unique ecosystem of Burkina Faso: The case of the Ko...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this study is to provide a better knowledge of the flora of a classified forest relic and its capacity to preserve biodiversity. A forest inventory on 28 plots for woody species and 11 plots for herbaceous species was carried out in the Kou Classified Forest (KCF). The results show that the flora of the KCF is rich in 207 species belonging to 62 families and 165 genera. It includes 121 woody species and 85 herbaceous species. The most represented family is the Fabaceae 38 taxa. The diversity indices show that the woody and herbaceous flora is diverse, with respectively 13.61 and 7.85 for Margalef’s absolute species richness, 3.36 and 3.80 for Shannon-Weaver’s diversity index (H’), 0.93 and 0.97 for Simpson’s dominance (D’); 0.74 and 0.92 for Piélou’s equitability index (E). A total of 36 special-status species and 87.86% rare species (rarity index >80%) were recorded. Structural parameters such as basal area (15.73 ± 2.86 m2/ha), density (456 ± 51 ft/ha), average herbaceous cover (22% ± 4%) and Weibull’s form factor (C=0.7) show good ecological health and stability of the vegetation with a high regeneration potential of 1280 seedlings/ha and a regeneration rate of 236.37%. This ecosystem is of major importance in the conservation of phytodiversity in Burkina Faso.

3. RESEARCH QUESTIONS
International
commitments
Domestic policies and
institutions
- How are current policy instruments according to predetermined ecological,
social and financial indicators?
- What are key diferences in stakeholders perceptions on the efficacy,
efficiency and accountability of reforestation frameworks and institutions?
- What does stakeholders perceive as key issues hampering or else promoting
forest cover growth?
4. “....one of the interesting things for me would be to gather these
experiences but looking at understanding not only restoration practices
but also what is their governance framework which is where restoration
concepts are validated and legitimized” (ONG, Ecuador).
5. METHODS FOR POLICY ASSESSMENT
- We assessed plans, programs, policies and regulations related to
forest growth based on four indicators:
Motivation

Editor's Notes
Say verbally that we did not include Belize, nor island states
Animar!. Mencionar el hecho que em Brasil, Argentina y Colmbia la implementacion de las leyes es a nivel de los estados, o provincias. Ellos deben escribir las regulaciones para implementar. Repetir que no incluimos ni Belize ni las Guyanas NI SURINAM...OJO GUATEMALA TIENE PLAN DE RESTAURACION RECIENTE
Guatemala es uno de los pocos paises que cuenta con una ley de incentivos para la recuperacion de bosques y ahora la restauracion también

Most agree that rules of law exist
Government actors agreed on most statements
Researchers and private (local) actors tend to disagree on most statements
All disagree on the adequacy and sufficiency of financial resources
