Scientific Writing and Communication in Agriculture and Natural Resources
The purpose of this book is to help early career professionals in agriculture and natural resources write their research papers for high-quality journals and present their results properly at professional meetings. Different fields have different conventions for writing style such that the authors of the book have found it difficult to recommend to young scientists in these fields a specific book or source material out of the several that are available as the “go to” guide. Writing a scientific paper is a tedious task even to experienced writers; but it is particularly so for the early career professionals such as students, trainees, scientists and scholars in agriculture and natural resources; the challenge is even more when their first language of communication is not English. This book is targeted mainly to that group.
Communicating Protected Areas
Protected areas operate within complex ecological and social systems, presenting challenges that cannot be resolved by technical solution alone. Achieving the management objectives of protected areas requires a social approach in which strategic communication is a key instrument. This publication explores the often underestimated potential of communication, sharing valuable experiences from protected areas across the world, drawing on papers presented at the Vth IUCN World Parks Congress, 2003 and others.
Information and Communication Technology's Impact on Sustainable Natural Resources Management
A formidable tool with the potential to improve conservation and sustainable management of natural resources is information and communication technology (ICT). It is possible to address the problems of resource depletion and biodiversity loss by using ICT in many elements of environmental conservation, such as monitoring, data collection, and public awareness. However, it's crucial to consider the unexpected repercussions that could result from the broad use of ICT in this setting.In order to promote sustainable natural resource management and conservation, this book examines any unintended implications of ICT. The book also identifies and examines four important areas of concern, including digital divide, data privacy and security, e-waste management, and ecological footprint, based on pertinent research and case examples.
