Abstract

Nederland is kampioen biodiversiteitsverlies. In dit boek stelt de auteur de vraag hoe we in Nederland ruimte houden voor wilde dieren aan de hand van actuele thema's. Moeten we de landbouw verder intensiveren om ruimte voor natuur te scheppen of juist natuurinclusief te werk gaan? Is de wolf een ramp of een zegen? Kan de dierentuin een belangrijke rol spelen bij het behoud van soorten? Is het ethisch en ecologisch verantwoord om uitgestorven soorten via genetische modificatie weer nieuw leven in te blazen? Over de vraag hoe we biodiversiteitsverlies kunnen stoppen bestaat tussen natuurbeschermers en de andere maatschappelijke geledingen grote verdeeldheid, evenals onder dierenbeschermers en natuurbeschermers onderling.

Abstract

This volume is a comprehensive treatment of how the principles of ecology and conservation biology can be used to maximize biological control. Conservation Biological Control presents various means to modify or manipulate the environment to enhance the activities of natural enemies of pests. It establishes a conceptual link between ecology and the agricultural use of agents for biological control, and discusses both theoretical issues as well as practical management concerns. Certain to be interesting to ecologists and entomologists, this volume will also appeal to scientists, faculty,

Abstract

The question of the protection of Natura 2000 areas in the construction and operation of offshore wind turbines combines one of the most important problem areas of nature conservation law with the discussion about the use of wind energy at sea as a core element of the energy transition. In order to answer this question, the present dissertation elaborates the relevant regulations and examines their effects on the permits of offshore wind farms. Specifically, it will discuss, among other things, the legal issues involved in the licensing of offshore wind turbines, as well as the identification and classification of marine protected and protected Natura 2000 sites. Another focus of the work is the management of the nature conservation regulations for Natura 2000 sites, which can be traced back to Article 6 (3) of the Flora Fauna Habitat Directive, and the possibility of a derogation under Article 6 (4) of the Flora Fauna -Habitat Directive. In addition, the work addresses the question of how much the Habitat Protection Law is relevant to already granted permits for offshore wind turbines and how such obligations should be taken into account in national legislation. Die Frage nach dem Schutz von Natura-2000-Gebieten bei Errichtung und Betrieb von Offshore-Windkraftanlagen verknüpft eines der bedeutendsten Problemfelder des Naturschutzrechts mit der Diskussion um die Windenergienutzung zur See als Kernbaustein der Energiewende. Die vorliegende Dissertation arbeitet zur Beantwortung dieser Fragestellung die relevanten Regelungen heraus und untersucht deren Auswirkungen auf die Genehmigungen von Offshore-Windparks. Im Einzelnen erfolgt unter anderem eine Erörterung der mit der Genehmigung von Offshore-Windenergieanlagen verbundenen Rechtsfragen sowie die Ermittlung und Einordnung der im Meeresbereich entstandenen und unter Schutz gestellten Natura-2000-Gebiete. Einen weiteren Schwerpunkt der Arbeit bildet die Handhabung des auf Art. 6 Abs. 3 der Flora-Fauna-Habitat-Richtlinie zurückzuführenden Schutzreglements für Natura-2000-Gebiete und die Prüfung der Möglichkeit einer Abweichungsentscheidung nach Art. 6 Abs. 4 der Flora-Fauna-Habitat-Richtlinie. Darüber hinaus wendet sich die Arbeit der Frage zu, inwieweit das Habitatschutzrecht auch für bereits erteilte Genehmigungen für Offshore-Windkraftanlagen von Bedeutung ist und wie entsprechende Pflichten im nationalen Recht zu berücksichtigen sind.

Abstract

Biodiversity of Pantepui: The Pristine "Lost World" of the Neotropical Guiana Highlands provides the most updated and comprehensive knowledge on the biota, origin, and evolution of the Pantepui biogeographical province. It synthesizes historical information and recent discoveries, covering the main biogeographic patterns, evolutionary trends, and conservational efforts. Written by international experts on the biodiversity of this pristine land, this book explores what makes Pantepui a unique natural laboratory to study the origin and evolution of Neotropical biodiversity under the influence of only natural drivers. It discusses the organisms living in Pentepui, including algae, plants, several groups of invertebrates, birds, amphibians, reptiles, and mammals. The latter portion of the book delves into the effects of human activity and global warming on Pantepui, and current conservational efforts to combat these threats. Biodiversity of Pantepui is an important resource for researchers in ecology, biogeography, evolution, and conservation, who want to understand the biodiversity and natural history of this region, and how to help conserve and protect the Guiana Highlands from environmental and human damages.

Abstract

Human induced biodiversity loss is greater now than at any time in human history, with extinctions occurring at rates hundreds of times higher than background extinction levels. The field of biodiversity economics analyses the socio-economic causes of and solutions to biodiversity loss by combining the disciplines of economics, ecology and biology. This field has shown a remarkable degree of transformation over the past four decades and now incorporates the analysis of the entire diversity of biological resources within the living world. Biodiversity Economics presents a series of papers that show how bio-economic analysis can be applied to the examination and evaluation of the problem of various forms of biodiversity loss. Containing insightful bio-economic research by some of prominent practitioners in the field, this volume will be an essential research tool to those working on biodiversity issues in the academic, policy and private sectors.

Abstract

The containment of pollution by physical defenses is the first step in restoring the ocean to its natural state. The first two chapters of Oil Spill Studies: Healing the Ocean, Biomarking and the Law describes the feedback on seven experiments made on the East Atlantic Ocean. The first chapter concerns semi-open sites while the second focuses on open environment directly linked to the ocean. The third chapter examines pollution from a French harbor marina and its effects on the local biodiversity. The book provides a methodology to quantify biological contamination coming from heavy metal releases into the environment. Chapter four provides the state-of-the-art in the science of a mid-depth-living fish species affected by the treatment of oil pollution by chemical dispersion. In a similar way, the fifth chapter addresses new explored and exploited ocean with extreme environments such as the Arctic and deep sea. The sixth and final chapter provides a lawyer's analysis on the subject.
