Protecting Biodiversity through Forest Management: Lessons Learned and Strategies for Success

 

Abstract

The strong links among biodiversity, forests, and climate change require that forces affecting them be addressed simultaneously. Here we summarize findings and lessons learned from decades of field work exploring ways to balance conservation with development, while effectively addressing drivers of deforestation and biodiversity loss. Examples are provided for approaches to forest management that support both biodiversity conservation and greenhouse gas mitigation. Causes of deforestation are reviewed and recommendations provided for specific steps that would slow the loss of high conservation-value forests.

  Juniper Publishers-Open Access Journal of Environmental Sciences & Natural Resources Effects of Land Use/Cover Type On Surface Water Quality: In The Case Of Chancho and Sorga Watershed, East Wollega Zone, Oromia, Ethiopia Authored by Tolera Megersa Abstract Background:   It has been widely accepted that there is a close relationship between the land use type and water quality. Land use/cover type can influence surface water quality either positively or negatively depending up on the cover type of the study area. Methods and Materials:   This study aims to analyze the influence of various land use types on the water quality within three sub watersheds based on water quality monitoring data for the selected water quality parameters and DEM and Google earth image of 2016 used for watershed delineation and land use/cover classification of the study sub-watersheds. Result: The result indicated that there were significant differences among the land use/cover types in dete...

  Juniper Publishers-Open Access Journal of Environmental Sciences & Natural Resources Living in the Rural Areas Authored by Michael Padi Abstract This article is to describe the kind of situations that rural people face, and things that needs to be known when living in such a condition. Snakes, scorpions, mosquitoes and ants are animals that are associated with rural dueling. Aside all these dangers life can be bearable if certain tactics are applied in daily livings. Dangers must be clearly pointed out so that rushing to the health posts must could avoided. Disputes sometimes become common in rural areas because of lack of police posts and duelers must learn how to avoid things that would invite law makers. Different plant species are fortunate to thrive in most rural areas and could be medicinal which would help rural duelers to live longer. Keywords:   Astronomical plants; Snake; Scorpion; Mosquito; Malaria Go to Introduction Living In the rural area is just living in ...

Application of Aquifer Parameters in Evaluating Groundwater Potential of Logo Area, Benue State, Nigeria - Juniper Publishers

Image
  Juniper Publishers-Open Access Journal of Environmental Sciences & Natural Resources Application of Aquifer Parameters in Evaluating Groundwater Potential of Logo Area, Benue State, Nigeria Authored by Diloha II Abstract Logo Area has a complex hydrogeological terrain resulting from its geology which comprises basement complex and low permeability Cretaceous sediments of Middle Benue Trough of Nigeria. This work was targeted at evaluating the groundwater potential of the study is a using pumping test data. Constant rate pumping test with single well was carried out in twenty boreholes at selected locations. The transmissivity values were computed from the pumping test data using Cooper and Jacob [1] Method and analyzed through descriptive statistical testing and Krasny Transmissivity Classification Scheme (KTCS) for the determination of Transmissivity variations and spatial distribution of the groundwater supply potential of the area. The result of transmissivity analysis ba...
