A lei de proteção à vegetação nativa, n° 12.651/2012 (antigo Código Florestal Brasileiro), traz algumas inovações importantes para a proteção e conservação da biodiversidade da flora brasileira. Uma delas é a criação do cadastro ambiental rural (CAR), o qual tem como um dos objetivos apoiar o planejamento do imóvel rural, contribuindo para recuperar áreas degradadas, formar corredores ecológicos e conservar os demais recursos naturais (p. ex.: água e solo). Como resultado do CAR, todos os produtores rurais com passivos ambientais documentados após o dia 22 de julho de 2008 (data da regulamentação da lei de crimes ambientais) são obrigados a regularizar a situação de suas propriedades por meio do Programa de Regularização Ambiental (PRA).

Resumo: O presente trabalho traz uma abordagem sobre a conceituação de áreas frágeis, contextualizando-as e informando sobre os tipos, características e localização na paisagem, como uma forma de contribuir para o aperfeiçoamento e a evolução da legislação ambiental do país. Das oito categorias de áreas frágeis abordadas neste trabalho, seis delas encontram-se amparadas pela legislação, apesar de não serem devidamente respeitadas, seja por falta de consciência da sociedade seja pela falta de fiscalização adequada por parte dos órgãos responsáveis. As duas categorias restantes (áreas de recarga de aquíferos e arenização e desertificação), embora ainda não amparadas pela legislação vigente, merecem cuidados semelhantes às demais, não só pela magnitude de...

La pisciculture marine : un secteur industriel en émergence
Provedor de dados: 5
Autores: Paquotte, Philippe; Harache, Yves.
In a general context of low progression, European aquaculture has been characterized by the development of intensive fish farming. The most notable fact is the recent increase in intensive salmonid farming, with a turnover of almost two million ECU. More recently, the intensive farming of sea bass and sea bream has increased very rapidly in the Mediterranean Basin, although on a more reduced extent. Although research has started as soon as the seventies with a strong public incentive both for salmon, sea bass and sea bream, the development of these different types of aquaculture has not been done at the same pace. Some elements of sectorial dynamics are analysed such as research planning and financing, organization of the production and public policy. For...

Aquaculture is an economic activity which is characterised by a great dependence on environmental conditions. Therefore aquaculture development is subdued to institutional context which defines the rules for use and conservation of the environment. This paper analyses the impact of marine environment regulations on economic operating of aquaculture enterprises and on industrial dynamics. Because aquaculture enterprises use a collective good, an economic approach of aquaculture has to take into account not only the relations between enterprises and environment, but also the relations between the enterprises themselves, through production externalities. In this study, several economic tools are considered in order to incite enterprises to integrate pad of...

Provedor de dados: 20
Autores: Njoka, S.W.; Ochiel, G.S.; Mailu, A.M.; Gitonga, W.
The Kenya Agricultural Research Institute imported 12,300 curculionid weevils (Neochetina spp.) from diverse sources, for biological control of water hyacinth in Lake Victoria, as part of the World Bank-funded Lake Victoria Environmental Management Project in East Africa. In addition to the rearing and quarantine facility at Muguga, a second rearing facility was established in 1996 at Kibos, near Lake Victoria. The Kibos rearing facility and two community rearing facilities at the lakeshores, have produced approximately 100,000 adult weevils and 42,000 weevil eggs over a three-year period. Since January 1997, some 73,500 Neochetina weevils have been released at 29 sites and an additional 10,000 redistributed at several sites. Visual observations and...

Preliminary assessment of the impact of erosion along the Nigerian shoreline
Provedor de dados: 20
Autores: Ibe, A.C.; Antia, E.E.
Previous studies by various agencies have shown that widespread erosion is occurring on the Nigerian shoreline and in some places, the rate of shoreline retreat is so rapid as to be alarming.  Shoreline stabilisation methods adopted for combating erosion along our coasts have been counter-productive and, in many cases, aggravated the problem largely because such solutions had been, and are being, carried out without consideration or understanding of fundamental principles of shoreline dynamics and processes.  Following a review of case histories, the Nigerian Institute for Oceanography and Marine Research initiated in September, 1981 a data acquisition programme aimed at making a scientific input into long term and large scale coastal management planing in...

Socio-economic dimensions of conservation of wetlands in African dry lands: A case study of River Ewaso Ngiro basin in southern Kenya
Provedor de dados: 20
Autores: Gichuki, Nathan N.; Macharia, Jane M.
Wetlands that occur in arid and semi-arid areas have unique characteristics and support unique biodiversity. The permanent wetlands are relatively small and isolated by large areas of dry land. There are however, numerous temporary or seasonal wetlands that contain water for only short period in the year. These wetlands contain water, a critical resource for all people, livestock, wildlife and plant life. The availability of fresh water minerals, pasture and other useful products attract humans, thereby making the wetlands to become focal points of economic development and indeed urbanization. The changing lifestyles of resident communities, such as increased focus on subsistence and commercial agriculture and sedentarization as opposed to nomadic...

Impacts of CGIAR Crop Improvement and Natural Resource Management Research: A Review of Evidence
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Pal,   Suresh.
This paper has examined the trends in funding and impacts of CGIAR research with a focus on distribution of economic benefits and sustainability of natural resources. The evidence has clearly shown that the impacts in terms of agricultural growth, poverty reduction and environmental protection continue to be impressive. The success of varietal development programmes mainly stems from free exchange of plant genetic resources and partnerships with NARSs. However, the impact of natural resource and production system management research has been site-specific. Its spread has been restricted because of policy and institutional constraints on transfer of technology.

Australian economic development and the environment: conflict or synergy?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Bennett,   Jeffrey W.; Gillespie,   Robert; Dumsday,   Robert G.
The populist view of economic development and the environment is that advances in one will necessarily result in a decline in the other. Evidence in the Australian context is that the dual goals can be achieved simultaneously. As economic development progresses, the increasing levels of income stimulate greater demand for environmental improvements. The population engages in more environmentally focused consumption and calls for its governments to introduce more policies designed to rehabilitate and protect environmental assets. Concurrently, the increasing levels of wealth allow for increasing expenditure on research and development into production processes that generate greater productivity and less environmental damage. The Australian agricultural...

THE USE OF ECONOMIC INSTRUMENTS IN TRANSITIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES AS A TOOL FOR SUSTAINABLE ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY: CASE STUDY OF MACEDONIAN PATH TO MEET GLOBALIZATION CHALLENGES
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Nedanovski,   Pece.
The demand for harmonization of domestic policies across countries is seen as a precondition for globalization. Does globalization conflict with environmental protection? The relationship between two of them is too complex. From the viewpoint of its protection, the environment must be seen as a whole. In the same time, the utility function based on income and pollution, is not identical and homothetic across different countries. It appears that the diversity in environmental protection is legitimate. In order to provide a sustainable environmental policy in transitional circumstances, the R. of Macedonia needs a balance between the goals of social development, economic progress and environmental protection. So far, because of the institutional development...

The Emergence of Insect Resistance in Bt-Corn: Implication of Resistance Management Information Under Uncertainty
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Linacre,   Nicholas A.; Thompson,   Colin J.
The successful management of transgenic technology is likely to depend on the economic behavioral response of farmers to the regulated use of transgenic crops. A well-studied example is the widespread use of Bt-corn, in the United States, and elsewhere, to control the European Corn Borer, a major corn pest. The extensive use of Bt-corn has led to concerns about the emergence of insect resistance. The United States Environment Protection Agency addressed this potential problem by developing an insect resistance management strategy, based, in part, on complex mathematical models using detailed biological assumptions about the population genetics and life history of the European Corn Borer. However, seed companies and others have sometimes used simpler...

Multicriteria analysis on effective financing of agri-environmental measures and conflicts between environmental objectives
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ziolkowska,   Jadwiga.
The main objective of the paper is to investigate effective financing scenarios for agri-environmental measures with regard to the environmental benefit, considering regional policy priorities. By means of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and a Linear Programming (LP) approach we conduct multicriteria analysis and investigate conflicts between environmental objectives as well as their influence on financing scenarios for agri-environmental measures. The analysis is based on an explorative case study conducted in Poland in the Subcarpathia region and on interviews with agricultural experts. The results show that the budget allocation for agri-environmental measures is considerably dependent on preferences given to environmental objectives within...

Environmental tax reform: experiences in Europe and possibilities in Hungary
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Sipos,   Nikoletta.
Due to aggravating environmental problems and the continued high rate of unemployment, the introduction of environmental tax reform has become a pressing issue. Adjustments in existing taxes are expected to have a positive impact on the environment and on employment figures. Several European countries have put the concept into practice. Hungary needs to step up as well and take part in the prevention of global environmental problems and slow down the depletion of natural resources.

VALUING RISK TRADEOFFS AND VOLUNTARY INSECTICIDE REDUCTION
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Lohr,   Luanne; Park,   Timothy A.; Higley,   Leon.
Farmer's willingness to voluntarily reduce insecticide use is not considered when regulatory approaches to environmental protection are proposed.  Regulations that require behavior that would voluntarily be undertaken are excessive and economically inefficient. Using survey data from a contingent valuation scenario, we demonstrate the willingness of crop producers in four Midwestern states in the U.S. to trade yield losses for environmental risk reduction by eliminating an insecticide application.  The mean acceptable yield loss for a sample of 1,138 producers in Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska and Ohio is $8.25 per acre. Acceptable yield loss increases with the rated importance of environmental goods (fish, birds, mammals, native plants and endangered species),...
