Las estrategias de conservación y el éxito de Bután están impulsados ​​en gran medida por la fuerte voluntad polÃtica y el liderazgo visionario de Su Majestad el Rey de Bután. Las perspectivas budistas de la nación con respecto a un respeto profundo y duradero por la naturaleza; y la aplicación estratégica de un amplio y estricto conjunto de regulaciones y controles internos han ayudado a garantizar estándares de oro ecológicos en Bután. Además, el paÃs es un miembro activo de la comunidad conservacionista internacional al cumplir con la implementación de varios Acuerdos Ambientales Multilaterales. Si bien en el siglo XXI surgió como uno de los 36 "puntos crÃticos" terrestres mundiales en la clasificación de conservación de la diversidad biológica, el compromiso absoluto de Bután con más del 51% de su territorio gestionado bajo el estatus explÃcito de una red de áreas protegidas, y más de 70 % de la tierra cubierta por bosques, representa la dedicación ejemplar de Bután para proteger el planeta a pesar de su pequeñez en tamaño y economÃa, y la fragilidad biológica ejemplificada por su situación de punto crÃtico. Frente a las graves amenazas inminentes del calentamiento global, Bután ejemplifica la verdad de que "un paÃs pequeño con un gran compromiso de conservación" puede hacer una enorme contribución a la comunidad global. A nivel regional, Bután tiene la intención de proteger las Torres de Agua de Asia (esa extensión glacial del Himalaya), que es un baluarte de recursos crÃtico para aproximadamente una quinta parte de la población mundial aguas abajo en el sur de Asia. Estas protecciones invariablemente ayudan a mitigar el cambio climático al actuar como un sumidero de carbono a nivel nacional a través de sus polÃticas de carbono neutral. En resumen, Bután ha representado durante mucho tiempo uno de los principales guardianes nacionales de la conservación de la biodiversidad, la buena gobernanza ecológica y la sostenibilidad social en un perÃodo en el que el mundo ha entrado en el Antropoceno, una época de extinciones masivas. Prevemos que esta publicación sea ecológica y éticamente provocativa y reveladora para las comunidades cientÃficas y los gobiernos interesados. A través de una extensa revisión de la literatura cientÃfica y antropológica, asà como de los propios datos del equipo de investigación, los autores han establecido recomendaciones oportunas para polÃticas, estrategias y acciones de conservación. Este libro proporciona evaluaciones técnicas y profundamente consideradas del estado del medio ambiente de Bután, sus múltiples factores estresantes y presiones inducidos por el hombre; asà como técnicas prácticas y extremadamente sólidas que abordarÃan las estrategias de conservación en el Himalaya y, por implicación, en todo el mundo.

Tipo de medio : Computadora Summary : Located in the heart of the Eastern Himalayas, Bhutan practices the philosophy of Gross National Happiness ("GNH") that embraces environmental conservation as one of the main building blocks for its sustainable development goals. Bhutan's conservation strategies and success are largely driven by the strong political will and visionary leadership of His Majesty the King of Bhutan The nation's Buddhist perspectives regarding a deep and abiding respect for nature; and the strategic enforcement of a wide-ranging stringent set of internal regulations and controls have helped ensure ecological gold standards in Bhutan. Moreover, the country is an active member of the international conservation community by fulfilling its implementation of various Multilateral Environment Agreements. While it emerged into the 21st century as one of the 36 global terrestrial "hotspots" in biological diversity conservation ranks, Bhutan's sheer commitment with more than 51% of its territory being managed under the explicit status of a protected area network, and more than 70% of the land under forest cover, represents Bhutan's exemplary dedication to protect the planet despite its smallness in size and economy, and the biological fragility exemplified by its hotspot situation. In the face of imminent severe threats of global warming, Bhutan nonetheless exemplifies the truth that "a small country with a big conservation commitment" can make an enormous contribution to the global community. At the regional level, Bhutan is intent upon protecting the Water Towers of Asia (that glacial expanse of the Himalayas) which is a critical resource bulwark for about one-fifth of the global population downstream in South Asia. Such protections invariably help mitigate climate change by acting as a nation-wide carbon sink through its carbon neutral policies. In short, Bhutan has long represented one of the world's foremost national guardians of biodiversity conservation, ecological good governance, and societal sustainability at a period when the world has entered the Anthropocene – an epoch of mass extinctions. We envision this publication to be ecologically and ethically provocative and revealing for the concerned scientific communities, and governments. Through an extensive review of the scientific and anthropological literature, as well as the research team's own data, the Author's have set forth timely recommendations for conservation policies, strategies and actions. This book provides technical and deeply considered assessments of the state of Bhutan's environment, its multiple, human-induced stressors and pressures; as well as extremely sound, practical techniques that would address conservation strategies in the Himalayas and, by implication, worldwide.

Sus paisajes fÃsicos, unidades polÃticas y grupos étnicos son amplios y numerosos. El suroeste, el sur y el centro de Asia son regiones altamente pobladas que, en conjunto, cubren un área extremadamente grande de geografÃa variada. En total, este dominio es único por su diversidad de plantas y grandes zonas de vegetación con diferentes comunidades y biomas. Es rico en endemismos, con diversidad especÃfica e intraespecÃfica de árboles frutales y plantas medicinales, incluidas varias especies raras y de alto valor. Al mismo tiempo, gran parte de la tierra de la región es demasiado seca o demasiado accidentada, con muchos extremos geográficos. El pastoreo excesivo, la extracción de petróleo y minerales y la caza furtiva son las principales amenazas en la zona. Este proyecto de dos volúmenes se centra en la biodiversidad dinámica de la región con un análisis en profundidad sobre fitosociologÃa, plantas, animales y agroecologÃa. También hay capÃtulos que exploran nuevas aplicaciones, asà como enfoques para superar los problemas asociados con el cambio climático. Gran parte de la investigación y el análisis se presentan aquà por primera vez. Creemos que este trabajo es un recurso valioso para los profesionales e investigadores que trabajan en los campos de la diversidad vegetal y la vegetación, la diversidad animal y las poblaciones animales, y la geodiversidad y el uso sostenible de la tierra, entre otros. El primer volumen guÃa a nuestros lectores a Asia occidental y la región del Cáucaso, mientras que el segundo volumen se centra en cuestiones exclusivas del sur y centro de Asia.

Tipo de medio : Computadora Summary : Of the world's seven continents, Asia is the largest. Its physical landscapes, political units, and ethnic groups are both wide-ranging and many. Southwest, South and Middle Asia are highly populated regions which, as a whole, cover an extremely large area of varied geography. In total, this domain is unique in its plant diversity and large vegetation zones with different communities and biomes. It is rich in endemics, with specific and intraspecific diversity of fruit trees and medicinal plants, including a number of rare, high value, species. At the same time, much of the land in the region is too dry or too rugged, with many geographical extremes. Overgrazing, oil and mineral extraction, and poaching are the major threats in the area. This two-volume project focuses on the dynamic biodiversity of the region with in-depth analysis on phytosociology, plants, animals and agroecology. There are also chapters that explore new applications as well as approaches to overcome problems associated with climate change. Much of the research and analysis are presented here for the first time. We believe this work is a valuable resource for professionals and researchers working in the fields of plant diversity and vegetation, animal diversity and animal populations, and geo-diversity and sustainable land use, among others. The first volume guides our readers to West Asia and the Caucasus region, while volume two focuses on issues unique to South and Middle Asia.

It is rich in endemics, with specific and intraspecific diversity of fruit trees and medicinal plants, including a number of rare, high value, species. At the same time, much of the land in the region is too dry or too rugged, with many geographical extremes. Overgrazing, oil and mineral extraction, and poaching are the major threats in the area. This two-volume project focuses on the dynamic biodiversity of the region with in-depth analysis on phytosociology, plants, animals and agroecology. There are also chapters that explore new applications as well as approaches to overcome problems associated with climate change. Much of the research and analysis are presented here for the first time. We believe this work is a valuable resource for professionals and researchers working in the fields of plant diversity and vegetation, animal diversity and animal populations, and geo-diversity and sustainable land use, among others. The first volume guides our readers to West Asia and the Caucasus region, while volume two focuses on issues unique to South and Middle Asia.

Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: BiologÃa de la Conservación EcologÃa Gestión ambiental Comunidades bióticas Sostenibilidad Ecosistemas Clasificación: 333.9516 Resumen: Las zonas costeras de los trópicos son ricas en biodiversidad, recursos naturales y lugar de intensas actividades de desarrollo, ya que proporcionan medios de vida a millones de personas. Al mismo tiempo, las evidencias sugieren que varios ecosistemas costeros únicos, a saber, manglares, humedales, marismas, corales, estuarios, dunas de arena y agroecosistemas, son vulnerables a los desastres naturales y eventos asociados con el cambio climático global. En los últimos tiempos, la degradación de la tierra, el agua y la erosión genética, además de la amenaza a la flora y la fauna nativas, han aumentado debido a actividades de desarrollo insostenibles. Por lo tanto, se requiere un cambio de paradigma en la obtención de medios de vida a través de métodos convencionales, estrategias de desarrollo y prácticas de conservación para un crecimiento equilibrado y sostenible de las zonas costeras. Esta publicación se esfuerza por cubrir el estado de los diferentes recursos naturales de la región costera, diversos aspectos del proceso de degradación, necesidades de producción y métodos de restauración, además de nuevas opciones tecnológicas y sus implicaciones socioeconómicas con ejemplos de casos. Se presta especial atención a resaltar el alcance y el potencial de la agricultura basada en manglares, la agricultura integrada y orgánica y su valor agregado, además del papel de las vegetaciones costeras como bioescudo en la protección de estas regiones de la erosión marina, los ciclones y los tsunamis. Como las áreas costeras tropicales son vulnerables a los eventos del cambio climático, este libro también cubre el patrón climático reciente, los impactos del cambio climático y las tecnologÃas resilientes al clima, además de los vÃnculos intuicionales y el marco de polÃticas destinado a equilibrar el desarrollo y las preocupaciones ambientales. .

Tipo de medio : Computadora Summary : The coastal areas of the tropics are rich in biodiversity, natural resources and place of intensive developmental activities as it provides livelihood to millions of people. At the same time evidences suggest that several unique coastal ecosystems viz., mangroves, wetlands, salt marshes, corals, estuaries, sand dunes and agro-ecosystem are vulnerable to natural disasters and events associated with global climate change. In recent times degradation of land, water and genetic erosion besides threat to native flora and fauna have been increasing due to unsustainable developmental activities. Therefore, a paradigm shift in deriving livelihood through conventional methods, developmental strategies, conservation practices are required for balanced and sustainable growth of the coastal areas. This publication strives to cover the status of different natural resources of the coastal region, various aspects of degradation process, production need and restorativemethods besides new technological options and its socio-economic implications with case examples. Special focus is given to bring out the scope and potential of mangrove based farming, integrated and organic farming and its value addition besides the role of coastal vegetations as bioshield in protecting these regions from sea erosion, cyclones and tsunami. As the tropical coastal areas are vulnerable to climate change events, this book also covers the recent weather pattern, impacts of climate change and climate resilient technologies besides intuitional linkages and policy framework aimed at balancing development and environmental concerns. .
