Ecosystem Approach to Disaster Risk Reduction
Gupta, K. & Nair, S.
2012
National Institute of Disaster Management
N/A
After decades of neglect, the importance of protecting and improving ecosystems for reducing disaster risk started receiving attention in the recent years. Until now the term ‘ecosystem’ and ‘ecosystem services’ were primary been dealt by biologist only. Human activity poses significant impact on the biodiversity of world ecosystems, reducing both their resilience and capacity. Humanity is, therefore, all set to experience the impact of ecosystem devastations in the form of increasing climate vulnerability and risk of hydro-meteorological disasters.

Ecosystem Approach to Disaster Risk Reduction
Local Actions, Solution to Global Challenges Initiatives of Indigenous Peoples in Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster Risk Reduction Based on Traditional Knowledge

AIPP
N/A
While governments around the world continue to debate about policies and practices to address climate change solutions, they pay little attention to the situation of indigenous peoples who are among those most affected by climate change on the ground. Thus indigenous peoples are compelled to act and respond immediately to climate change impacts to reduce or minimize risk on their livelihoods. However, they still have very limited access to information and government facilities in terms of financial or technological support at the national and local levels.

Community-based bio-engineering for eco-safe roadsides in Nepal
Devkota, S. et al.
2014
International Union for Conservation of Nature
N/A
This manual provides guidance to communities and local government agencies on the occurrence, assessment and mitigation of road construction-induced landslides and erosion. By better understanding the interaction between human activity and natural phenomena we are better able to find solutions and increase our coping capacities to face threats. In Nepal, the number of rural roads has quadrupled over the past two decades as many communities are prioritizing access to markets, health care and education. We know that haphazard rural road construction in Nepal is one of the leading causes of slope instabilities and severe erosion, leading to the destruction of agricultural land, loss of lives and property.

EDF
N/A
The Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) aims to improve the ability of coastal communities to reduce risks from sea level rise and coastal storms through the use of natural infrastructure and nature-based measures. Recognizing that better quantification of the storm risk reduction benefits of these approaches is necessary to help decision-makers choose among alternatives to protect their communities, as well as help to develop new market-based or private sector funding options for natural infrastructure and nature-based measures, this paper presents a review of the state of knowledge on the performance of these approaches, compiled from existing literature and participant input obtained during an EDF-convened expert workshop in May 2015.

Climate-Resilient Development A framework for understanding and addressing climate change
Cook, J.; Frankel-Reed, J. & Furlow, J.
2014
USAID
N/A
The USAID Global Climate Change Office is pleased to release this framework for understanding and addressing the risks of climate change for development. This framework updates the approach presented in 2007 in USAID’s Adapting to Climate Variability and Change: A Guidance Manual for Development Planning. This framework promotes a “development-first” approach, helping to achieve development goals despite climate change. It walks readers through a process of understanding development goals in a given country or community, the inputs and conditions necessary to achieve those goals, and the stresses – climate and non-climate – that can impede progress toward those goals, in order to then identify priority adaptation measures.

Arctic environment: European perspectives Why should Europe care?
Künitzer, A. et al.
2004
Environmental issue report
N/A
The Arctic's unique nature is still relatively undisturbed. However, it is under increasing threat from pollution, climate change and unsustainable development. The peoples of the industrialised countries outside of the Arctic are the primary beneficiaries of Arctic resources. These same countries, including those in the EU, are a major source of pollution and other problems in the Arctic region. Indigenous peoples have lived in the Arctic and utilised its resources in a sustainable manner for millennia. Today they receive a relatively small share of the benefits of its exploitation, yet incur the greatest negative effects.

Biological Integrity versus Biological Diversity as Policy Directives
Angermeier, P. & Karr, J.
1994
BioScience
N/A
Two phrases - biological integrity and biological diversity - have joined the lexicon of biologists and natural resource managers during the past two decades. The importance of these phrases is demonstrated by their influence on environmental research, regulatory, and policy agendas. The concepts behind the phrases are central to strategies being developed to sustain global resources (Lubchenco et al. 1991). Unfortunately, the phrases are widely used by the media, citizens, policy makers, and some biologists without adequate attention to the concepts they embody

Biological Integrity versus Biological Diversity as Policy Directives
Biodiversity offers multiple opportunities for development and improving human well-being. It is the basis for essential environmental services upon which life on Earth depends. Thus, its conservation and sustainable use are of critical importance. The opportunities and challenges associated with biodiversity typically apply over large geographical extents, although one or two issues may be more important at any given location.

Effects of urban wastewater on crab and mollusc assemblages in equatorial and subtropical mangroves of East Africa
Cannicci, S. et al
2009
Elsevier Ltd.
N/A
Mangrove forests are known to accomplish crucial ecosystem functions and services. They are nursery areas for fish, prawns and crabs, which provide coastal communities with a variety of food, timber and chemicals, and protect coasts from catastrophic events, such as tsunamis. Recently, a novel ecological service has been proposed for mangrove systems, namely natural wastewater treatment wetlands. This hypothesis was based on experimental data collected mainly in Chinese mangrove systems, which proved that mangrove soils were efficient in absorbing nutrients. Moreover, sewage loading seemed harmless to both plants and benthic communities in these systems.

Amphibian road kills: a global perspective
Puky, M.
2006
North Carolina State University
N/A
Transportation infrastructure is a major factor determining land use forms. As global changes in this factor are the most important for biodiversity, roads fundamentally influence wildlife. The effect of roads on wildlife has been categorized in several ways resulting in six to ten categories with road kill as an obvious and important component, and amphibians are greatly affected by this factor. As this animal group has been documented to decline from multiple threats worldwide, the study and mitigation of their deaths on roads has become an important conservation priority.

The Angolan offshore Congo River Basin oil and gas deposits have been developed since the late 1970s. Historically, there has been no market for the natural gas, and any gas produced with the oil has been flared. The need for a solution for the management of gas from oil and gas production offshore Angola emerged from the decision of the Angolan Government to enact a policy, coupled with the Partners’ commitments to environmental and social responsibilities and responsible custodianship of hydrocarbon resources.

ADVANCES IN MARINE BIOLOGY
N/A
Habitat destruction through human encroachment has been the primary cause of angrove loss. Diversion of freshwater for irrigation and land reclamation has destroyed extensive mangrove forests. In the past several decades, numerous tracts of mangrove have been converted for aquaculture, fundamentally altering the nature of the habitat. Measurements reveal alarming levels of mangrove destruction. Some estimates put global loss rates at one million ha y-1, with mangroves in some regions in danger of complete collapse. Heavy historical exploitation of mangroves has left many remaining habitats severely damaged.

Disturbance from roads negatively affects Andean condor habitat use
Speziale, K.; Lambertuccia, S. & Olsson, O.

Elsevier Ltd.
N/A
Human disturbance can be a severe problem for some animal species. Behavioural ecology theory predicts that sensitivity to mortality risks, and thereby to disturbance, will be related to life-history characteristics. Long-lived species with low reproductive rates are expected to have a high cost of predation and therefore avoid risks strongly. In this paper we quantify the effect of roads on the Andean condor (Vultur gryphus) using behavioural indicators. We used a pair wise design, offering condors standardized food patches near and far from roads simultaneously.
