Map of the Namibian component of the Kavango-Zambezi Conservation Area (KAZA TFCA). The map shows the study area including the location of national parks (light green) and conservancies (purple grid), larger irrigation areas (blue points) in the area, areas under crop cultivation (green grid...
The concept of conservation areas was introduced in England, Wales and Scotland by theCivic Amenities Act 1967. When the legislation was introduced there was widespread public concern over the pace of redevelopment in our historic towns and cities. Today there are over 10,000 conservation areas in...
These included a large agricultural area, three water conservation areas (land where Glades water flows through canals), and the Everglades National Park (see map above). Peril in Paradise More results ► Acronyms browser ? ▲ WASWD WASWUG WAT WATA WATAA WATAC WATAG WATAI WATAN WATAP WATA...
Disassembly of artwork to clean into all hidden areas Encapsulation or coating of surfaces with conservation grade resins that absorb particulates and odors or seal them so they are no longer an issue (EPA approved). Replace all porous materials that are not part of the artwork (back boards and...
This paper applied a GIS platform (ArcGis software) as a tool to measure the conflicting use between priority areas for conservation and potential mineral and oil and gas exploitation sites. The study has as goal to analyze and quantify the distribution of each process stage, to determine the ...
Notably less landrace diversity across crops was predicted to be cultivated in most temperate regions, in some very arid zones such as the Saharan Desert and in a few highly mesic areas such as the Amazon Basin. Fig. 1: Richness map of the predicted distributions of landrace groups of 25 ...
Areas affected by sea-level rise, desertification, or extreme weather will become uninhabitable, leading to large-scale migrations and refugee crises. Social Unrest: Resource shortages and displacement will heighten tensions within and between communities, leading to protests, conflicts, and increased crim...
locations were chosen that adjoined sections of coast and catchment with a high degreeof protection in terrestrial protected areas and low levels of urban, industrial and agricultural land use.However, in the more populated regions, many distinctive areas of high conservation value were foundnear urb...
and rewilding populations of threatened flora and fauna. These efforts date back to the 1950s and have increased rapidly over the past four decades. In the UK, for example, sections of tidal marshes were designated as protected areas for the preservation of bird habitat following the establishment...
Our objective was to identify high priority conservation areas in the southernmost known portion of the species’ distribution by modelling habitat selection at the landscape scale using a predictive distribution map. Our results show that the distribution of Cuvier’s Gazelle is strongly related to ...
