This is a book inspired by a South African Expat's passion to save the rhinos in South Africa. The idea was to create awareness about rhino poaching around the world while encouraging children (and adults ) to get creative by writing about rhinos. Raising awareness and funds for anti‐poaching efforts in The Pilanesberg National Park is the ultimate goal of the Writing For Rhinos project and 100% of all funds raised through the sale of this book will go to The Pilanesberg Wildlife Trust in aid of rhino protection efforts.
In this book, you will find a great mix of fact and fiction You will find information about rhinos and why they are being poached. You will also learn all about who is working hard to save the rhinos in The Pilanesberg National Park and how these superheroes go about that very important job There is also a list of things you can do to get involved in the fight against poaching so that you too, can help save the rhinos.
In between all the important information you will find stories written by children and adults from all over the world. Some will leave you with a warm heart while others will get you thinking. We have included unique pieces of art which have been submitted by children who are standing up for our rhinos in addition to a few pieces contributed by our illustrator, Sradha Vaher.
Get ready to dive and become involved in the fight to save our rhinos

Описание: In dealing with the IUCN, one must bear in mind that there never has been, and undoubtedly never will be, any other organization even remotely resembling it. Its peculiarities, subtleties and complexities are sometimes mind-boggling (Nicholson 1990 in Holdgate 1999: ix).Green Web-II investigates IUCN’s role in global biodiversity conservation policy as well as in national program development in India, Pakistan, Nepal and Bangladesh. It explores how nature protection priorities and approaches are promoted or addressed by IUCN, an international organization, and how environment conservation policies are created and maintained in states with different capacities of South Asia. It also evaluates IUCN's competency in bio-diversity, climate change, nature conservation and environmental policy formulation at global, regional and country level. This study is the first detailed scholarly study on the IUCN as an organization as well as on its efforts in biodiversity conservation.This book adds to our knowledge, firstly by contributing to a small but growing body of work on the sociology of international organizations. IOs, especially International Governmental Organizations (IGOs), have long been the subject of mostly political science. Secondly, it applies a fuller sociological imagination to the study of IOs by critically exploring one of the largest and most active nature conservation organizations in the world. Thirdly, it also explores how the IUCN actually goes about building protectoral programs with individual member nations.Additionally, the book explores the recent development of the green economy (GE) concepts into IUCN’s program planning today. The green economy initiative applies a people-first approach. Although the concept is relatively new, this research explores the theoretical development of a green economy and illustrates how this theory is applied in IUCN’s program planning to program implementation.Technical topics discussed in the book include:Motivation of Environment Conservation - How personal efforts make differenceRole of International Environment Conservation OrganizationsPolitical Economy of Organizations, Network theory, Institutional theory, Stakeholder theory, Governance theoryGovernance performances and CompetitivenessPopularity indicesKnowledge creation and diffusionConservation commons

Описание: This book deals with the development of temperate coastal sand dunes and the way these have been influenced by human activity. The different states in which the habitat exists both for the beach/foredune and inland dune are reviewed against the pressures exerted upon them. Options for management are considered and the likely consequences of taking a particular course of action highlighted. These options include traditional approaches to the conservation and management of wildlife and landscapes as well as habitat restoration. The way the value of the areas changes under different management regimes is considered mainly from an environmental perspective. Consideration is given to new approaches to management and restoration including adopting a more dynamic approach. Audience This book will be of interest to academics, students and professionals concerned with policy formulation and /or actively managing coastal areas.

Описание: The book provides the most comprehensive review of lamprey biology since Hardisty and Potter’s five-volume “The Biology of Lampreys” published more than 30 years ago. Published in two volumes, it includes contributions from international lamprey experts, reviewing and providing new insights into the evolution, general biology, and management of lampreys worldwide. This first volume offers up-to-date chapters on the systematics, general biology, conservation status, and conservation needs of lampreys. It will serve as an important reference for researchers working on any aspect of lamprey biology and fishery managers whose mandate is to control or conserve lamprey populations.

Описание: This survey of one the longest insect conservation campaigns in Australia deals with recovery of one of the most iconic endemic butterflies, the Richmond birdwing, threatened by clearance and fragmentation of subtropical rainforest in eastern Australia and the spread of an alien larval food-plant. Its conservation has involved many aspects of community involvement, developed over more than 20 years, and focused on habitat restoration and weed eradication, in conjunction with conservation of remaining forest fragments. The work has involved the entire historical range of the butterfly, addressed threats and emphasised landscape connectivity, and has enhanced recovery through extensive plantings of native food plants. Interest has been maintained through extensive publicity, community education and media activity, and the programme has provided many lessons for advancing insect conservation practice in the region.

Автор: Van Dooren Thom Название: Kin: Thinking with Deborah Bird Rose ISBN: 147801542X ISBN-13(EAN): 9781478015420 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 86070.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: The contributors to Kin draw on the work of anthropologist Deborah Bird Rose (1946–2018), a foundational voice in environmental humanities, to examine the relationships of interdependence and obligation between human and nonhuman lives. Through a close engagement over many decades with the Aboriginal communities of Yarralin and Lingara in northern Australia, Rose’s work explored possibilities for entangled forms of social and environmental justice. She sought to bring the insights of her Indigenous teachers into dialogue with the humanities and the natural sciences to describe and passionately advocate for a world of kin grounded in a profound sense of the connectivities and relationships that hold us together. Kin’s contributors take up Rose’s conceptual frameworks, often pushing academic fields beyond their traditional objects and methods of study. Together, the essays do more than pay tribute to Rose’s scholarship; they extend her ideas and underscore her ongoing critical and ethical relevance for a world still enduring and resisting ecocide and genocide.
