Effectiveness of the coastal and marine conservation initiatives in Bangladesh: analyzing the drawbacks of the legal, policy, and institutional framework / Rahman, Md Mizanur   Journal Article
Rahman, MD Mizanur Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract The study attempted to identify the challenges and threats to coastal and marine conservation and assessed the effectiveness of the existing legal, policy, and institutional frameworks in this regard. This multidisciplinary research used both primary and secondary data. It was revealed that in the protected areas, both conservations and degradations go hand in hand, indicating the ineffectiveness of regulatory schemes. Ironically, many destructive activities like wetland poisoning, onslaught wildlife poaching, and clear felling of mangrove tree species threaten conservation initiatives in the coastal habitats. There is no specific law and policy which can effectively regulate marine and coastal resource management and conservation. Instead, many fragmented laws and policies created jurisdictional overlapping, followed by interest conflicts in most cases. The study recommends legal and institutional reforms to abolish jurisdictional overlapping and establish effective marine governance. The study proposed a model of an evidence-based national marine policy based on stakeholders’ perceptions.

Interspecies Relations in the Midst of the Russia–Ukraine War / Richardson, Tanya   Journal Article
Richardson, Tanya Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract To convey the scale of destruction that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has caused to animals, plants, and ecosystems, analysts frequently use national-scale maps, aggregate figures, and the concept of ecocide. Although necessary, these moves risk portraying Ukraine exclusively as a zone of catastrophe, while obscuring the character of on-the-ground socioecological relations. This article enlarges the space for environmental narratives about war between catastrophe, heroism, and resilience by describing interspecies encounters along Odesa’s Black Sea Coast, in the Askania-Nova Biosphere Reserve, and in the Kharkiv Region.

Sood, Rupal Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract While future climate change situations and nearby effects stay dubious, Protected Areas will without a doubt be influenced. Nonetheless, they can likewise have a critical influence on adjustment to climate change. Enhancing atmosphere strength and adjustment will require changes in the way to deal with Protected Areas’ planning, foundation and administration. Besides, it is basic to lessen worldwide greenhouse gas outflows and to keep the temperature rise within a 2ºC limit and if these things are not accomplished, adaptation will never be adequate.

Seeking synergy between community and state-based governance fo: the role of indigenous and community-conserved areas in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo / Vaz, Justine; Agama, Agnes Lee   Journal Article
Vaz, Justine Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract Sabah in Malaysian Borneo contains a range of diverse ecosystems and some of the richest concentrations of biodiversity in the world. Yet the state's existing protected area network is too fragmented and of insufficient size to safeguard biodiversity in the long term. Experts have emphasised the need for a landscape level approach to shore up conservation areas through the creation of ecological corridors of compatible mixed use. In light of the 2003 Durban Accord which signalled a shift towards greater levels of community participation in conservation, this article features the efforts made by the state to explore the potential role of Indigenous and Community-Conserved Areas (ICCAs) in strengthening biodiversity conservation. Selected case studies are used to showcase some of the ways ICCAs are already making important contributions to safeguarding ecological services and maintaining habitat connectivity in the state. Recognising the role of indigenous and local communities in sustaining Sabah's unique biocultural landscapes is a critical component of a long-term approach to sustaining irreplaceable natural heritage. Sabah's legal framework actually contains sufficient provision for greater synergy between community and state-based governance of biodiversity areas, yet aspects of Sabah's political economy must be addressed before this ideal can be realised.
