Dentro de los principales resultados de este estudio se destaca un menor valor esperado de los índices de degradación del bosque natural subandino en aquellos fragmentos de bosque que se encuentran localizados en un área protegida dentro del Sistema de Parques Naturales Nacionales. Además se prueba la hipótesis de que el valor
esperado de la degradación de este bosque natural es menor en...
Este trabajo es un extracto de los resultados de nueve estudios de caso realizados en cuatro megadominios agro ecológicos, dedicados a conocer las relaciones entre pobreza y el manejo de los recursos naturales y a establecer algunos criterios de políticas dirigidos a reducir la pobreza y mejorar el manejo del ambiente.

Los cambios climáticos que se vienen muy probablemente alteren el actual equilibrio del bosque de neblina. Los resultados incluyen la pérdida de biodiversidad, los cambios de altitud en los rangos de las especies y las posteriores reorganizaciones de la comunidad, y posiblemente la muerte de los bosques. Las dificultades para las especies del bosque de neblina para...

In particular, the dependence of the various tasks and services provided by agriculture on the territorial contexts is a key issue in valuingadequately the potential of agriculture and...
Humans benefit from biodiversity rich areas in many ways: aesthetically, culturally, via the provision of services such as climate regulation; regulation of floods, drought, land degradation; soil formation and nutrient cycling; and from the direct harvest of biodiversity for food, fuel, fodder, fibres, and pharmaceuticals. These services are crucial for sustainable economic, social, cultural...
Mountain forests are important for governments to find a balance between productive uses of forests and their protection. To this end, one important step would be to recognize and support mountain people in their role as the primary users and guardian of mountan forests. Mountain people depend on the entire forest ecosystem for their survival. Mountain forest policies should acknowledge the...
Paramos form the upper part, above the treeline, of the Northern Andes. As such, they form a discontinuous belt between the Cordillera of Merida in Venezuela and the Cajamarca area in Peru. Vertically, they cover the upper region of the northern Andes between the upper forest line (about 3400 m altitude) and the permanent snow line (about 5000 m) (Castaño, 2002; Hofstede et al., 2003)

Along with the Greater Himalaya, in the eastern Himalayan region there has been increased efforts to bring more areas under the Protected Area Network. Protected areas including conservation areas in Arunachal Pradesh are mostly located in the low and mid-elevation forest areas. To address the need of having a protected area in the higher altitudes of the State, of late a biosphere reserve has...
Este artículo revela y describe lo que se conoce como “revolución agroecológica” en Latinoamérica. Si bien en la región continúan aumentando las agroexportaciones y el uso de biocombustibles con sus consecuencias en el calentamiento global, los conceptos de soberanía alimentaria y rural surgidos de la perspectiva agroecológica están captando cada vez más la atención. Y es que las nuevas...
