Building A Department Of Natural Resources And Environmental Management

The Democratic Republic of the Congo has had many conflicts. The people of the country are poor, but interest is shown in the country because of mining. When war did break out the rebels enslaved and took people to work in the mines. Also, with the status of the country, the bonobos are becoming more and more endangered. This is in part because of poverty. The bonobos are being poached and killed for their meat and people even use their body parts because of superstitions. On top of this, the bonobo’s are also losing their habitat. With an increase in a growing population more land is demanded taking from the bonobos. Logging companies are pushing further and further leaving the bonobos at risk for losing their habitat.

“Liberian Civil war fought in 1989-1996, is among the most deadly and destructive war in the history that lasted for more than 7 years and killed almost 3 hundred thousand people. This war was the worst ever in the history of Africa because it caused the infrastructural and property damage in the country. The war also displaced more than 1 million people in refugee camps in neighboring countries. This war led to a complete breakdown of law and order in the country. There was not any direct cause that led to this war but several reasons contributed in the creation of this destructive event. Hunger for power, greed and opportunities to control and to get more out of Liberia’s natural resources were the main reasons behind this conflict. As D. Elwood Dunn quoted “We begin with the assumption that the conflict arose from the tugs and pulls of different identities the differential distribution of

Even in the Kono district of Sierra Leone, where the land was once thought to be beyond repair, land restoration is improving the landscape. Local communities are now working with international partners to fill in the mining pits, bring back native species, and replace lost topsoil. To further these efforts, Brilliant Earth’s non-profit fund has supported land restoration programs in the Kono district, helping to revive the local ecosystem and make former mining lands available for productive farming.

The Logan County Conservation District is an entity of State Government in Logan County, Arkansas. It is organized by local people to develop and carry out a program for the conservation of our soil, water and other natural resources within the county. The program is administered by a Board of Directors. Three are elected by landowners within the county and two are appointed by the Arkansas Natural Resources Commission.

Out of all the cases, this one of the only ones where women could actively participate in decision making alongside the men of the village. To connect it with what I learnt from the module on governance, I think that decentralization really helps. From the fourth case, I liked how the absolute failure of the government did not stop the villagers from working towards their cause. There was a village committee, and village campaigners and teachers who worked for conservation and development. There was community resource management and people felt strongly for the issue because the sustenance of their community depended on it. In the final village, a lot of importance was given to the regeneration of forests. That is one thing that policy makers all over need to focus on. While we give adequate attention to deforestation, we do not give the same attention to reforestation. To quote Anil Agarwal, “we cannot trust indicators that economists use to give an accurate picture of poor communities. We need a gross natural indicator

Stewardship and economical asset use and how they apply to the Amazon Rainforest: Maybe the most perfect way to deal with location deforestation in the Amazon is by building up another insurance course of action in light of the principle of supportable usage and change of rainforests. Sensible change is an expression that has been used every now and again over the earlier decade, however savants will quickly tell you that assembling natural items, latex, and nuts from the rainforests is inadequate make a living also reinforce a creating economy. "Financial Improvement" should consider a shrouded thinking to be joined through technique to distinctive experts and business undertakings included in the usage and progression of rainforest grounds and resources. Under Brazilian law, a critical piece of the Amazon is fundamentally an open access resource, so there negligible catalyst for squatters, farmers, or originators to use timberland grounds or resources in a conservative way.

This policy memo addresses the development and expansion of the cattle ranching industry in Brazil, which has contributed to the mass deforestation of the Brazilian Amazon in the last 40 years. It exposes the regional and global consequences to deforestation and provides strategies for the Brazilian government to sustainably manage cattle ranching industries while protecting the future of the Amazon. The rainforest ecosystem is an immense reserve of natural recourses that is far more valuable than the beef produced on Brazilian cattle ranches. Not only does the rainforest create habitat for up to 65% of the world’s biodiversity, but when harvested sustainably, it provides humans with an abundance of spices, foods, oils, medicines

Deforestation in many developing states has shown how important these forest are to controlling air pollution, animal life, and even safe living conditions for the indigenous people. Unfortunately that has only caught the attention of already developed countries such as the United States. Most of the efforts to slow down deforestation have come from one nation, developed, and helping another, developing. Guatemala, like many countries, have ignored their own issues and only focus on the business side of cutting down trees. Until recent years Guatemala has begun to stand up for itself and realized that protecting its vast forest is a very important issues that must be

As we deforest the African rainforest not only are we killing potential cures for diseases as well as innocent animals we are also killing human beings. There are three larger and more widely known tribes The Pygmies, The Huli, and The Indigenous (People of the rainforest). Most of the people in the African rainforest spend a plentiful amount of the year in a near village where they trade bush meat and honey for manioc, produce, and other goods. They most often trade with the family they had previously chosen often times the families will trade with each other for generations (Butler, 2012). Traditionally the people of the rainforest are hunters and gatherers, but deforestation has created jobs for forestry workers, farming, and mining (Social Impacts of Logging, 2006).Traditionally the rainforest inhabitants travel by foot or by boat with deforestation roads are being built allowing cars and trucks to go through. (Laurance, 2012). The people who occupy the rainforest live

The battle for the Amazon rainforest is a daunting task. It's a long going battle between miners, loggers, and developers against the indigenous people who call it home. It's a battle like any battle in a war; it affects lives, families, the economy, politics, and the environment amongst other things. The main topic of this debate is the effects of the Amazon deforestation on the people who live in it, this will be the focus of this research paper. In this paper, I will discuss the history, causes, effects and solutions for the Amazon rainforest deforestation.

This paper uses the terms natural resource(s), resource(s), and reserve(s) in many different contexts. Please use care when interpreting their usage and context.

The three factors/ approaches that best explain the current patterns of forest decline and recovery are population/markets, political economy, and ethics. The population/markets approach introduces the concept of forest transition theory which talks about how the economic growth that destroys forests is also necessary for its restoration and return. The initial expansion in population and economic activity puts pressure on forest resources, resulting in rampant deforestation that clears land for agricultural use. The intensification of agriculture then allows more crops to be grown on less land, in turn freeing up unneeded land for forest recovery. From a political economy standpoint however, a decrease in forest cover is viewed as an expansion

Deforestation is one of the most significant issues of our time; considerable measures must be taken to prevent further pillaging of our unique forest resource.

In the current management system in Nepal, community forestry (CF) is one of the effective mechanisms to reduce deforestation and increase greenery in the country, but there is uncertainty to what extent CF supports biodiversity conservation (Acharya, 2003). Community forestry has contributed to improving and diversifying livelihoods by mobilizing locally available natural forest. As per the Forest Act (1993), community forest user groups (CFUGs) retain 100% of revenues generated and 25% are used in forest development
