Conserving Migratory Species: An Interdisciplinary Synthesis fills an important gap in biodiversity conservation literature by providing the first synthesis exclusively and explicitly dedicated to the conservation of migratory species. This book spans ecological and environmental management to sociology and international relations.Written by an international team of carefully assembled experts, this book is organized into key cross-cutting themes relating to migratory species conservation through an integrative approach across animal groups with a global scope. Migratory species have supported human survival for millennia, yet their future is in question due to human pressures. These include species that challenge our imagination through their amazing long-distance journeys, such as the bar-tailed godwit that flies from Alaska to New Zealand, as well as many that have contributed to human survival and economic activities, such as salmons that have underpinned the lives of Native Americans and the fishing industry in the North Pacific. This book explores the diversity of migratory animals, their importance to humans, their status, and threats, as well as what we can do to conserve them through on-ground actions orchestrated by governance approaches at various scales.Conserving Migratory Species: An Interdisciplinary Synthesis is an important resource for biodiversity and conservation researchers, practitioners, policy makers, and citizens around the world who endeavor to advance migratory species and their marvelous journeys.
Discusses factors and solutions for declining migratory speciesPresents a global geographic spread investigating migratory species, including regions like North America, Eurasia, Africa, and OceanaIncludes taxonomic expertise for groups including ungulates, terrestrial mammals, fish, birds, and more

Pollution is the single largest cause of death in the developing world. One in seven people in low- and middle-income countries die as a result of it. Simply put, pollution is now the world’s most prevalent health risk.And yet, while most everyone has heard about “going green,” few are aware of the more dire and sinister “brown” pollution—places where man-made toxic pollutants have taken root and spread. Brown sites poison millions of people every year, causing needless suffering and death.After witnessing several brown sites firsthand and meeting families trapped by poverty in these toxic hot spots, environmentalist Richard Fuller founded the Blacksmith Institute, now renamed Pure Earth, a global nonprofit that initiates large-scale cleanups of some of the most polluted places on earth.The Brown Agenda details Fuller’s inspirational journey—from his dangerous yet ultimately successful fight to save hundreds of thousands of acres in the Amazon rain forest to his creation of Pure Earth.In this vivid account of his perilous travels to the earth’s most toxic locations, Fuller introduces readers to the plight of the “poisoned poor,” and suggests specific ways people everywhere can help combat pollution all over the world.

This volume contains the proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Mobile Entity Localization and Tracking in GPS-less Environments (MELT 2009), held in Orlando, Florida on September 30, 2009 in conjunction with the 11th International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing (Ubicomp 2009). MELT provides a forum for the presentation of state-of-the-art technologies in mobile localization and tracking and novel applications of location-based s- vices. MELT 2009 continued the success of the ?rst workshop in the series (MELT 2008), which was held is San Francisco, California on September 19, 2008 in conjunction with Mobicom. Location-awareness is a key component for achieving context-awareness. - cent years have witnessed an increasing trend towards location-based services and applications. In most cases, however, location information is limited by the accessibility to GPS, which is unavailable for indoor or underground fac- ities and unreliable in urban environments. Much research has been done, in both the sensor network community and the ubiquitous computing community, to provide techniques for localization and tracking in GPS-less environments. Novel applications based on ad-hoc localization and real-time tracking of - bile entities are growing as a result of these technologies. MELT brings together leaders from both the academic and industrial research communities to discuss challenging and open problems, to evaluate pros and cons of various approaches, to bridge the gap between theory and applications, and to envision new research opportunities.

This book presents nature as the fundamental infrastructure for sustainable urban living rather than as an aesthetic afterthought in the face of cities' mounting problems, which range from biodiversity loss and climate change to public health disparities. The first section, Nature and Wellbeing, explores the critical relationship between human health and access to nature, providing evidence-based perspectives on the ways in which urban forests, green spaces, and landscapes rich in biodiversity support mental, physical, and social well-being. In addition to highlighting initiatives that bridge the green divide in marginalized groups and highlighting the pressing need for fair access to nature, it offers case studies that demonstrate how design and policy may incorporate nature as a fundamental factor in determining public health. Nature-based solutions (NBS) that protect urban populations from climate impacts and strengthen ecological integrity are highlighted in the second section, Nature and Climate Resilience. The book highlights nature as a proactive factor in climate resilience planning through examinations of coastal adaptation, wetland regeneration, and urban green infrastructure. It discusses the governance structures, ecosystem services, and policy frameworks that allow cities to strategically incorporate nature into their responses to environmental deterioration, flooding, and heat stress. The book explores how biophilic design, cultural narratives, and technology innovation come together to create urban settings where nature becomes essential to identity, function, and community in its last section, Nature-driven Placemaking. This section highlights how environment can inspire, connect, and economically empower people through everything from participatory planning techniques to imaginative depictions of urban wildlife. Altogether, Nature in Cities, Nurturing Cities presents a strong case for purposefully, inclusively, and resiliently integrating nature into the urban fabric.

As the second volume of this trilogy focused on nature in cities, this book focuses on global case study examples relevant to ‘nature-based urbanism’. As a relatively newer field of research, nature-based urbanism encompasses the integration of ecological systems into the planning, design, and management of urban environments, ensuring that cities function not just as human habitats but as active components of broader natural systems. Nature-based urbanism is positioned as a revolutionary method of urban development in the Anthropocene by integrating ecosystem services, cultural values, and climate adaptability. This book makes the case that understanding nature as a co-creator of urban life, rather than just a source of inspiration, is essential to the future of cities. In doing so, it presents a picture of cities as living, breathing landscapes that are resilient, adaptive, and intricately linked to the ecological systems that support them.
