  • The Cultural Value of Trees : Folk Value and Biocultural Conservation
    The Cultural Value of Trees : Folk Value and Biocultural Conservation

    This volume focuses on the tree, as a cultural and biological form, and examines the concept of folk value and its implications for biocultural conservation. Folk value refers to the value of the more-than-human living world to cultural cohesion and survival, as opposed to individual well-being.This field of value, comprising cosmological, aesthetic, eco-erotic, sentimental, mnemonic value and much more, serves as powerful motivation for the local performance of environmental care.The motivation to maintain and conserve ecology for the purpose of cultural survival will be the central focus of this book, as the conditions of the Anthropocene urgently require the identification, understanding and support of enduring, self-perpetuating biocultural associations.The geographical scope is broad with chapters discussing different tree species from the Americas and the Caribbean, East Asia, Eurasia and Australia and Africa.By focusing on the tree, one of the most reliably cross-culturally-valued and cross-culturally-recognized biological forms, and one which invariably defines expansive landscapes, this work illuminates how folk value binds the survival of more-than-human life forms with the survival of specific peoples in the era of biocultural loss, the Anthropocene.As such, this collection of cross-cultural cases of tree folk value represents a low hanging fruit for the larger project of exploring the power of cultural value of the more-than-human living world. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of conservation, biodiversity, biocultural studies and environmental anthropology.

  • Destruction and Conservation of Cultural Property
    Destruction and Conservation of Cultural Property

    In 1991 the mosque at Ayodhya in India was demolished by Hindu fundamentalists who claim that it stood on the birthplace of a legendary Hindu hero.During recent conflicts in former Yugoslavia, ethnic groups destroyed mosques and churches to eliminate evidence of long-term settlement by other communities.Over successive centuries, however, a single building in Cordoba functioned as a mosque, a church and a synagogue.The Roman Emperor Diocletian's Palace in Split is occupied today by shops and residential apartments.What circumstances have lead to the survival and reinterpretation of some monuments, but the destruction of others?This work asks whether the idea of world heritage is an essential mechanism for the protection of the world's cultural and natural heritage, or whether it subjugates a diversity of cultural traditions to specifically Western ideas.How far is it acceptable for one group of people to comment upon, or intercede in, the way in which another community treats the remains which it claims as its own?What are the responsibilities of multinational corporations and non-governmental organisations operating in the Developing World?Who actually owns the past: the landowner, indigenous people, the State or humankind?

  • What is the difference between energy conservation and momentum conservation?

    Energy conservation refers to the principle that the total energy in a closed system remains constant over time, meaning energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or converted. Momentum conservation, on the other hand, states that the total momentum of a closed system remains constant if no external forces are acting on it. While energy conservation focuses on the total energy of a system, momentum conservation focuses on the total momentum of a system. Both principles are fundamental in understanding and analyzing physical systems, but they address different aspects of motion and energy transfer.

  • What is energy conservation?

    Energy conservation refers to the practice of reducing the amount of energy used while still achieving the same level of productivity or comfort. This can be achieved through various methods such as using energy-efficient appliances, improving insulation in buildings, and reducing unnecessary energy consumption. Energy conservation is important in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, lower energy costs, and preserve natural resources for future generations.

  • What does charge conservation mean?

    Charge conservation means that the total electric charge in a closed system remains constant over time. This principle is based on the fact that electric charge cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred from one object to another. In other words, the total amount of positive charge in a system must equal the total amount of negative charge. Charge conservation is a fundamental principle in physics and is essential for understanding the behavior of electric and magnetic fields.

  • What are tasks for energy conservation?

    Tasks for energy conservation include reducing energy consumption by turning off lights and electronics when not in use, using energy-efficient appliances and light bulbs, improving insulation and sealing air leaks in buildings, and using renewable energy sources such as solar or wind power. Additionally, practicing energy-saving habits such as adjusting thermostats, using natural light, and minimizing water usage can also contribute to energy conservation efforts. Overall, the goal is to reduce energy waste and promote sustainable energy practices to minimize environmental impact and save on energy costs.

  • Conservation of Dragonflies : Sentinels for Freshwater Conservation
    Conservation of Dragonflies : Sentinels for Freshwater Conservation

    Dragonflies are among the most familiar and popular of all insects, deeply embedded in human cultural history.They are iconic and tell us much about the environments in which we and they live.Their conservation is an important part of biodiversity conservation.One modern dragonfly species is listed as extinct, with many others currently threatened.It is now essential to increase conservation efforts towards saving these threatened species, with strategies now available for doing this.Recovery of dragonfly populations goes hand in hand with improvements to both freshwater conditions and bank vegetation quality.In contrast, some other dragonfly species have benefitted greatly from human transformation of the landscape, with artificial ponds in particular, increasing the population levels of many species.In turn, climate change is seeing many geographical range shifts.Dragonflies are variously sensitive to the health of freshwater systems, and the quality of vegetation along rivers and around ponds.Dragonflies are excellent indicators in these times of great concern over the quality of our freshwater supplies.Their wide range of sensitivities enables us to measure the extent to which freshwater ecosystems are either deteriorating or are improving when we undertake restoration.They enable us to gauge how well we are conserving freshwaters, whether ponds and lakes, streams or rivers.They are also good umbrellas for many other freshwater inhabitants, which altogether reflect the health of a freshwater system.Conservation of Dragonflies: Sentinels for Freshwater Conservation is for naturalists, citizen scientists, entomologists and conservation scientists, as well as practitioners and policy makers around the world.

  • Are slugs protected under species conservation?

    Slugs are not typically protected under species conservation laws. They are not considered endangered or threatened species, and are often seen as pests due to their tendency to feed on plants in gardens. However, some species of slugs may be protected in certain regions if they are considered to be of ecological importance or facing threats to their populations. It is important to check local conservation laws and regulations to determine the status of slugs in a specific area.

  • Are jellyfish protected by conservation laws?

    Jellyfish are not typically protected by conservation laws in the same way that other species are. This is because jellyfish populations are not currently at risk of extinction and are considered to be abundant in many parts of the world. However, some specific species of jellyfish may be protected in certain regions due to their ecological importance or cultural significance. Overall, jellyfish conservation efforts tend to focus on understanding their role in marine ecosystems and mitigating the impacts of human activities on their populations.

  • What is the conservation of energy?

    The conservation of energy is a fundamental principle in physics that states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or transformed from one form to another. This means that the total energy in a closed system remains constant over time. In other words, energy can change from potential to kinetic, thermal, or other forms, but the total amount of energy in the system remains the same. This principle is crucial in understanding and analyzing various physical phenomena and is a cornerstone of many scientific theories and laws.

  • What is nature and species conservation?

    Nature and species conservation refers to the protection and preservation of natural habitats and the various plant and animal species that inhabit them. This involves efforts to prevent the extinction of endangered species, restore and maintain healthy ecosystems, and minimize human impact on the environment. Conservation efforts can include creating protected areas, implementing sustainable resource management practices, and raising awareness about the importance of biodiversity. Ultimately, nature and species conservation aims to maintain the balance and diversity of life on Earth for the benefit of present and future generations.
