The Journey From Rio To Johannesburg: Ten Years Of Forest Negotiations, Ten Years Of Successes And Failures, Melanie Steiner
The Journey From Rio To Johannesburg: Ten Years Of Forest Negotiations, Ten Years Of Successes And Failures, Melanie Steiner
Golden Gate University Law Review
Since Rio, a great deal of dialogue and changes in the global forest architecture have occurred, including the growth of regional criteria and indicator (C&I) processes for sustainable forest management, development of new national forest programmes in many countries, and the establishment of the new international arrangement on forests mentioned above. Commitments have been made at all levels, in the form of IPF/IFF proposals for action, adoption of a forest work programme under the Convention on Biological Diversity, and regionally through the C&I processes. Furthermore, new issues have emerged on the scene as being critical post-Rio, including illegal logging/forest law …
Establishing A "Due Care" Standard Under The Lacey Act Amendments Of 2008, Rachel Saltzman
Establishing A "Due Care" Standard Under The Lacey Act Amendments Of 2008, Rachel Saltzman
Michigan Law Review First Impressions
The Lacey Act was first enacted in 1900 as a narrow measure for domestic bird preservation and agriculture protection. It was significantly amended in 1981 and 1988 to prohibit trafficking in fish and wildlife "taken, possessed, transported, or sold" in violation of state and foreign laws. For the past three decades, the amended statute has provided the federal government with a powerful tool for regulating imports of fish and wildlife. In 2008 Congress expanded its reach still further, responding to widespread concern about the effects of illegal logging on local governance, the environment, and American business by extending the Act's …
Mamanda Theatre, The Play Of Banjar Culture, Ninuk Kleden-Probonegoro
Mamanda Theatre, The Play Of Banjar Culture, Ninuk Kleden-Probonegoro
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
This article reveals the dialectic relationship between Teater Mamanda and the living conditions of Banjarese community. When we watch Mamanda, we watch the life and culture of the Banjarese. Without any knowledge of Banjarese society and culture we cannot possibly understand the content of a Mamanda performance as a miniature version of Banjarese society and culture. Three areas where Mamanda is performed have been studied using Paul Ricoeur's textual theory. There are two kinds of texts, the Mamanda performance (considered as text, that is, social events fixated in the form of a performance), and the narration of the performance itself …
Rediscovery Of Limited-Purpose Policing In East Africa: The Case Of The National Parks And Wildlife Services, James S. E. Opolot
Rediscovery Of Limited-Purpose Policing In East Africa: The Case Of The National Parks And Wildlife Services, James S. E. Opolot
African Social Science Review
The rediscovery of limited-purpose wildlife police units in East Africa—Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda—has slowly but steadily gained attention of criminologists and law enforcement experts in Africa. This article traces some strands of this development. It does this by critically reviewing the literature on both the regular, traditional policing, and the special-purpose wildlife police units. The review clearly demonstrates several criminological concerns such as limited utilization of concepts, theories, and paradigms as gleaned from the literature on regular, traditional policing and special-purpose wildlife police units; unavailability of relevant information and data in the gray areas; and suggests the adoption of community …
South China Tiger Prey Habitat Suitability Assessment In Hupingshan-Houhe National Nature Reserve Complex, China, Yiyuan Qin, Philip Nyhus
South China Tiger Prey Habitat Suitability Assessment In Hupingshan-Houhe National Nature Reserve Complex, China, Yiyuan Qin, Philip Nyhus
Atlas of Maine
A habitat suitability assessment of prey species of south China tiger in Hupingshan-Houhe National Natural Reserve Complex was carried out using a Geographical Information System. Wild boar was selected as a model species. Information on the habitat requirements and natural history characteristics of wild boar was synthesized from published literatures. A preliminary Prey Habitat Suitability Index model was derived based on criteria that fulfill the species’ requirement and reduce human-wildlife conflict. The study identified parts of the NNR likely more suitable for wild boar. However, further study on wild boar habitat requirement, species distribution field data using radio telemetry, and …
Energy Independence And Climate Change: The Economic And National Security Consequences Of Failing To Act, Mark E. Rosen
Energy Independence And Climate Change: The Economic And National Security Consequences Of Failing To Act, Mark E. Rosen
University of Richmond Law Review
This article draws heavily from the works of the CNA MAB, namely the twin and interrelated challenges arising from imprudent reliance on fossil fuels by developed and developing countries, as well as the serious environmental and national security"externalities" that directly result from current consumptive trends.
Debt-For-Development Exchanges: Using External Debt To Mitigate Environmental Damage In Developing Countries, Steven Freeland, Ross P. Buckley
Debt-For-Development Exchanges: Using External Debt To Mitigate Environmental Damage In Developing Countries, Steven Freeland, Ross P. Buckley
UC Law Environmental Journal
This article analyzes the conception, evolution and recent development of debt-for-nature exchange techniques. It explores how the lessons of the early, problematic exchanges have been learned and how the highly successful exchanges conducted recently in Madagascar, Egypt, and Kenya have been structured. It assesses the possibility of the Clean Development Mechanism under the Kyoto Protocol being tapped as a source of ongoing funding for projects, and concludes by arguing that, given the various benefits exchanges offer both donors and recipients, these techniques have been underutilized and deserve more careful consideration.

An Analysis Of Article 28 Of The United Nations Declaration On The Rights Of Indigenous Peoples, And Proposals For Reform, David Fautsch
Michigan Journal of International Law
The purpose of this Note is two-fold: first, to demonstrate why the standards set out in Article 28 require further clarification, and second, to propose reforms (both inside and outside of the United Nations framework) that might benefit indigenous peoples claiming land rights.
