    Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Academic Paper from the year 2020 in the subject Environmental Sciences, , language: English, abstract: The paper makes a review of the evolution and traditional use of the biological resources in the Pacific islands in order to find common trends and problems, and the way how do major land cover changes driven by anthropic pressure influence the national economies and the environment. An assessment of timber growth performance in a plantation, the status of two threatened groups of key wildlife species, and the traditional use and description of lesser known trees, are discussed. Project summaries for small scale projects that can enhance training capacities on natural resources management and further improve rural livelihoods are also included. Finally there is a call to coordinate more interdisciplinary efforts on this rewarding enterprise, because by solving our own problems nationals can proclaim with confidence their full independence.The Solomon Islands is an independent country in the South Pacific consisting of six major islands, over 900 smaller islands and a population of over 655,000 with diverse ancestry. The islands have been settled for at least 30,000 years, their rainforests were subject to shifting cultivation and then logging since the 1920s. Man's future in the Pacific islands depends largely on his ability to conserve and manage island ecosystems. Since his arrival to the hundreds of islands, he was constantly developing new ways of resources use as food sources, construction materials, boatbuilding, medicines, and as a defence against nature abnormal events (droughts, floods and typhoons) or aggression from other groups. A historical review of the process of islands discovery, domestication of plants and impacts on wildlife is discussed alongside the effects of current main socioeconomic factors on land cover changes and of industrial pollutants accumulation on coastal ecosystems. It was found that although all islands states share a common ancestry and similar environments, the differences on forest cover and traditional utilization of natural bio-resources among islands are significant. A re-evaluation of the applicability of traditional practices at multiple sites can lessen impacts on the environment in societies that experience high demographic growth and where industrial development is unavoidable.

    Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2017 in the subject Environmental Sciences, Fiji National University (College of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry Fiji National University), language: English, abstract: Fiji Islands are among the most dynamic economies in the South Pacific, with rapid changes on infrastructure and industrial developments, tourism and commercial agriculture; even though they often come alongside environmental impacts on endemic biota and ecosystems that are not well understood, not much is invested on research to plan a sustainable use of land. Parallel unsolved concerns are land tenure issues in which ancestral community ownership coexists with modern markets; tensions over land leases between ethnical groups and high population growth trigger land use intensification, and rise of emigrations, of landlessness, of unemployment and finally of poverty. Therefore, it is of a national interest to asses these trends for long term sustainable land use planning; even nearly 3500 years ago a record of regulations aimed to achieve sustainability and equality: '3 .for six years you may plant crops inyour fields, prune your vineyards, and gather what they produce. 4 But during the seventh year, you must let the land rest. 8 Count seven of these years seven times for a total of 49 years. during that time there will be seven years of rest 9 and proclaim liberty to everyone living in the land. everyone is to return to their own property' (Leviticus 25). In this document, the first chapter is a synopsis of land use in the rural areas of Fiji islands, its evolution, types, problems and alternatives, the second chapter is a review of some common free gis packages available in the internet useful for forestry and land use evaluations, their number and degrees of sophistication are ever growing; the last two chapters are applications, first on detecting the severity of land use intensity in relation to other socioeconomic parameters, and second on the planning of the best places for planting trees of economic or ecological importance. The articles were presented at international conferences, they are in no way a comprehensive treatise on the subject; my main purpose is to ignite the interest of students and staff working in the forestry field to try on and propose projects of various types, scales and complexity, with just a standard PC and access to internet and library resources. 72 pp. Englisch.

    Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The last decades witnessed an ever increasing concern for sustainable development worldwide together with unprecedented trends of human disturbance to land ecosystems. The case of tropical countries is particularly complex and largely misunderstood for being multi cultural regions with high biodiversity, politically unstable, economically weak, and usually struggling for a better integration with the global market. Most of the interventions were planned in the 'North' and 'from above' with insufficient understanding of local people rationality and real needs. Results from study cases in Brazil, Peru and Papua New Guinea that integrates GIS and socio economic surveys, debunk underestimated complexities and open the way for consensual long term solutions from within. 172 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -The last decades witnessed an ever increasing concern for sustainable development worldwide together with unprecedented trends of human disturbance to land ecosystems. The case of tropical countries is particularly complex and largely misunderstood for being multi cultural regions with high biodiversity, politically unstable, economically weak, and usually struggling for a better integration with the global market. Most of the interventions were planned in the 'North' and 'from above' with insufficient understanding of local people rationality and real needs. Results from study cases in Brazil, Peru and Papua New Guinea that integrates GIS and socio economic surveys, debunk underestimated complexities and open the way for consensual long term solutions from within.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 172 pp. Englisch.
