Displaying 431 - 435 of 661Wild property and its boundaries – on wildlife policy and rural consequences in South Africa
Against the backdrop of post-Apartheid neoliberal reform, South African landowners have gained the option to acquire full ownership over wild animals on their land. Corresponding with this, approximately one sixth of South Africa's total land has been ‘game-fenced’ and converted for wildlife-based production (i.e. hunting, ecotourism, live trade and venison production). This article analyzes the institutional process in which authority concerning access to wildlife is being restructured, and argues that the unfolding property regime leads to an intensified form of green grabbing.
Conservation, green/blue grabbing and accumulation by dispossession in Tanzania
This article shows how wildlife and marine conservation in Tanzania lead to forms of ‘green’ or ‘blue grabbing’. Dispossession of local people's land and resources has been gradual and piecemeal in some cases, while it involved violence in other cases. It does not primarily take the usual form of privatization of land. The spaces involved are still formally state or village land.
Economics of Agricultural Water Conservation: Empirical Analysis and Policy Implications
Climate change and recurrent drought in many of the world's dry places continue to inspire the search for economically attractive measures to conserve water. This study analyzes water conservation practices in irrigated agriculture in a sub-basin in North America's Rio Grande. A method is developed to estimate water savings in irrigated agriculture that result from public subsidies to farmers who convert from surface to drip irrigation. The method accounts for economic incentives affecting farmers' choices on irrigation technology, crop mix, water application, and water depletion.
Evaluation of dynamic linkages between evapotranspiration and land-use/land-cover changes with Landsat TM and ETM+ data
Complexity embedded in coastal management leads to numerous questions as to how inherent spatial and temporal linkages among evapotranspiration (ET), depth to groundwater and land-use/land-cover change (LUCC) could affect the dynamics among these seemingly unrelated events. This article aims to address such unique dynamics in the nexus of physical geography and ecohydrology.
Erosion modelling for land management in the Tahoe basin, USA: scaling from plots to forest catchments
Land management and its effects on water quality are a concern where regulatory agencies work to establish sediment and/or nutrient loadings. Runoff and erosion measurement in the field and modelling at the catchment scale are often the only means of generating realistic data and results for subsequent analyses. As such, it is critical to link local-scale field measurements associated with the range of land uses or soil restoration efforts with the catchment-scale sediment loading.
