The Use of Traditional Ecological Knowledge in Forest Management: an Example from India
Provedor de dados: 7
Autores: Rist, Lucy; ETH Zurich; lucy.rist@env.ethz.ch; Uma Shaanker, R.; University of Agricultural Sciences; Ashoka Trust for Research in Ecology and the Environment; umashaanker@gmail.com; Milner-Gulland, E. J.; Imperial College London; e.j.milner-gulland@imperial.ac.uk; Ghazoul, Jaboury; ETH Zurich; jaboury.ghazoul@env.ethz.ch.
Many forest communities possess considerable knowledge of the natural resources they use. Such knowledge can potentially inform scientific approaches to management, either as a source of baseline data to fill information gaps that cannot otherwise be addressed or to provide alternative management approaches from which scientists and managers might learn. In general, however, little attention has been given to the relevance of quantitative forms of such knowledge for resource management. Much discussion has focused on the integration of traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) into management, but less attention has been paid to identifying specific areas where it is most useful and where it may be most problematic. We contrasted scientific data with...

Objetivos de produção e critérios de seleção de um programa participativo de base comunitária de melhoramento genético de caprinos e ovinos.

Resumo - Apesar da importância das raças localmente adaptadas para segurança alimentar e para manutenção da variabilidade genética, muitas foram extintas ou estão em risco de extinção. Em criações mantidas por comunidades rurais, os rebanhos são compostos por esses grupos genéticos, o que torna fundamental o desenvolvimento de ações e estratégias que promovam sua utilização por essas comunidades. Nesse contexto, surgiram os programas de melhoramento genético de base comunitária (CBBP), que utilizam esses animais em criações de baixo ?input?. Neste trabalho, buscou-se definir os objetivos de produção e os critérios de seleção de um CBBP para caprinos e ovinos nos sertões dos Inhamuns, Ceará, Brasil. Para isso, foi realizada uma avaliação rural participativa...

Principais petrechos e estratégias de captura da pesca artesanal do Rio Araguaia, Tocantins, Brasil.
Provedor de dados: 14
Autores: DIAS, C. R. G.; SILVA, A. P. da.
A pesca artesanal no rio Araguaia exerce uma função fundamental para a manutenção da segurança alimentar, do comercio local e da herança cultural de milhares de famílias ribeirinhas ao longo de sua calha. As tecnologias empregadas consideram principalmente as características do ambiente, as adaptações culturais em cada local e a disponibilidade de recursos financeiros para obtê-las. Por isso, este trabalho teve como objetivo caracterizar os principais petrechos utilizados pela pesca no rio Araguaia, Tocantins. Por intermédio de um diagnóstico participativo em 15 comunidades pesqueiras durante o ano de 2016, pode-se concluir que os petrechos utilizados possuem objetivos diferentes com diferentes estratégias de captura, aliado ainda ao comportamento das...

This research report presents the findings of the first phase of the action-research project "Models for implementing multiple-use water supply systems for enhanced land and water productivity, rural livelihoods and gender equity." Multipleuse water services, or "mus" in short, is a participatory, integrated and poverty-reduction focused approach in poor rural and peri-urban areas, which takes people's multiple water needs as a starting point for providing integrated services, moving beyond the conventional sectoral barriers of the domestic and productive sectors.

China’s water pricing reforms for irrigation: effectiveness and impact

Irrigation occupies a central position in China’s crop production. However, due to low per capita water resources, much worse, unevenly distributed over regions and time and the rapid increase of water diversions to non-irrigation sectors, irrigation water shortages have become a very serious problem. Without the adoption of effective measures this problem may even threaten China’s food security. Currently, irrigation efficiency is very low in general, irrigation water prices cannot fully recover water supply costs, and irrigation facilities are aging due to the lack of funding for O&amp;M (operation &amp; maintenance). Since water prices are regulated by the government, and not determined by the market, water prices did not work effectively in water...

Participatory rural appraisal for irrigation management research: lessons from IIMI's experience
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Gosselink,   Paul; Strosser,   Pierre.
The increasing international awareness about the strengths of participatory approaches and methods for research and development has led international development banks, NGOs, donors and research and training institutes to adopt Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) and other participatory approaches to implement new projects and programs. At IIMI, PRA approaches and methods have also been incorporated in a number of research activities. The present Working Paper explores the opportunities of PRA in irrigation management research through an analysis of selected case studies in which IIMI attempted to practice the PRA approach.
