Towards Respecting Indigenous Rights In Development Policy: The Case Of A Community-Based Forest Management Project In Panama, Benjamin Goodman
Towards Respecting Indigenous Rights In Development Policy: The Case Of A Community-Based Forest Management Project In Panama, Benjamin Goodman
Benjamin Goodman
As Latin American countries reach new heights of development, perched on the shoulders of an increasingly globalized economy, their local indigenous communities continue to be the most marginalized and impoverished people in the world. Sustainable development initiatives present themselves as a way to contribute to global economic development, while at the same time, respecting the livelihoods of rural peoples and preserving natural resources for future generations. However, unsustainable exploitation of natural resources continues to threaten the livelihoods and identities of many rural indigenous communities. As the economic, legal and political marginalization of indigenous peoples persists, the inevitable result of these …

Installation And Evaluation Of Permeable Pavement At Walden Pond State Reservation, Irvine W. Wei
Installation And Evaluation Of Permeable Pavement At Walden Pond State Reservation, Irvine W. Wei
Irvine W. Wei
Permeable pavements have been proposed for use in controlling surface runoff. A test installation was constructed at the Walden Pond State Reservation in Concord, Massachusetts to determine the feasibility of using permeable pavements in the New England environment. A brief history of the development and use of permeable pavements is provided. Background information, design methodology, and construction techniques are described for the data collection system and the parking area itself. All the following data are presented and discussed: mix gradation; pavement density; pavement, ground, and air temperatures; flow through permeable pavements; water quantity; water quality; and structural stability. This report …

The “Green Eating” Project: A Pilot Intervention To Promote Sustainable And Healthy Eating In College Students, Kelleigh E. Eastman
Geoffrey Greene
The “Green Eating” Project: A Pilot Intervention to Promote Sustainable and Healthy Eating in College Students Kelleigh Eastman Sponsor: Geoffrey Greene, Nutrition and Dietetics A topic of interest that is growing in the general population is the idea of being sustainable, or “green”, and there is a rising awareness in sustainable practices involving food and the environment. Some of the “green” eating behaviors identified through my research included eating a plant-based (i.e. vegetarian or semi-vegetarian) diet, eating locally grown foods, eating organically grown foods, and eating foods that are labeled fair-trade. Frequently, these “green” eating behaviors are healthful eating behaviors …
The Reclamation Of Boston Harbor: A Scientist's Perspective, Gordon T. Wallace Jr.
The Reclamation Of Boston Harbor: A Scientist's Perspective, Gordon T. Wallace Jr.
Gordon Wallace
A major effort, costing in the neighborhood of $2 billion, is under way to restore the environmental quality of Boston Harbor. While Boston Harbor is unquestionably one of the most polluted urban estuaries in the world, it is also one of the least understood with respect to the basic physics, chemistry, and biology involved. This information is essential for the purpose of identifying processes that control the transport, effect, and fate of contaminants entering the estuary. Failure to obtain this information may lead to continued inappropriate and unnecessarily expensive solutions to a complex environmental problem. An effective solution will require …
