MSc programme - Management of Protected Areas
launched by the
Promoting
sustainability, handling conflicts, increasing benefits, conserving
biodiversity - the planning and the management of Protected Areas (PA) involve
many different legal, administrative and technical realities. The demand for
highly skilled professionals is growing enormously.
The
learning goals of the programme are:
- an excellent and comprehensive understanding of the aims and
roles of Protected Areas in relation to the conservation of biodiversity and
(integrated) regional development.
- detailed
knowledge when applying the full range of tools available for the management of
Protected Areas so that they can effectively fulfil their aims.
- an
ability to analyse and solve problems encountered when establishing, planning
and managing Protected Areas, to conduct inter-and transdisciplinary
dialogues with all stakeholders and to develop and implement appropriate
integrated solutions.

ABSTRACT SUBMISSION AT: http://203.197.97.167/temp/abs/absonline.asp
Ecological Economics
studies the relations between the economy and the environment with a variety of
methods. They include the assessment of the impacts of economic growth on the
environment by means of physical indicators. They also include the economic
valuation of ecosystem services and of environmental damages. Ecological Economics deals with macroeconomic issues, and also with
sectoral resource policies (energy, water, transport,
forestry, agriculture, fishing), and with the evaluation of investment
projects. At the level of firms, Ecological Economics enters the
discussion on environmental liabilities and "green" accounting.
Ecological Economics also focuses on the relations between property rights and
environmental management. The 2006 biennial conference of the International
Society for Ecological Economics will take place on December 15 - 18 at the
Habitat Centre in
There will
be a programme of pre and post-conference seminars and field trips so that the
opportunity is given to participants to learn more about environmental,
economic, social, political and cultural aspects of India. Ecological Economics
has Gandhian roots.
Coal,
hydroelectricity, oil, gas - all energy sources grow rapidly. The economy is
not dematerializing relative to GDP. By 2020, there will be some 20,000 MWe of extra nuclear power, and perhaps a few breeder
reactors. There are conflicts on mining, on the use of water, on fishing and
aquaculture, and on forests, in many regions of

L’économie écologique étudie les relations entre la science économique et la protection de l’environnement
à partir des méthodes variées. Il s’agit de l’évaluation
des impacts de la croissance économique
sur l’environnement au moyen des indicateurs physiques. Il s’agit aussi
de l’évaluation économique
des services des écosystèmes et des dommages environnementaux. L’économie écologique a trait aux
résultats macroéconomiques ainsi qu’aux politiques
sectorielles sur les ressources naturelles telles que l’énergie,
l’eau, le transport, la foresterie,
l’agriculture et la pêche. Elle a également trait à l’évaluation des projets d’investissement.
Au niveau des entreprises, l’économie écologique introduit le débat entre les liens environnementaux et la comptabilité « verte ». L’économie écologique s’intéresse aussi aux relations entre les droits de propriétés et la gestion des biens environnementaux. La conférence biennale de la Société
Internationale de l’Economie
Ecologique se tiendra du 15 au 18 décembre 2006 au
Habitat Centre à New Delhi en Inde.
Une des raisons principales
pour lesquelles cette conférence se tiendra en Inde est
la forte présence de l’INSEE
constitué de membres mondialement reconnus. D’autres raisons expliquent également ce,
choix car ce qui se passe en Inde intéresse
le monde.
Il y aura un programme de pre et
post-conférence et des voyages de terrain pour offrir la possibilité aux
participants de découvrir le pays sous
toutes ses facettes. L’Inde sera dans un proche
avenir le pays le plus peuplé
de la planète avec une
forte densité de population. La croissance
urbaine est très forte et le taux de croissance de l’économie indienne est de 6% par an tandis que la croissance
démographique baisse et la pauvreté qui baisse progressivement. Le pays est divisé en classes sociales, en religions et est le
centre d’une diversité de plantes cultivées de par le monde. Il est
devenu une plaque tournante de l’industrie informatique. L’industrie automobile elle aussi
croît de plus de 20% par an.
Toutes les sources énergétiques à l’instar du charbon,
de l’électricité, du pétrole et du
gaz croissent rapidement. D’ici 2020, il y aura plus de 20 000 mégawatts d’énergie nucléaires supplémentaires. Il existe des conflits
sur l’exploitation des ressources du sous
sol, l’utilisation de l’eau,
l’activité de pêche et des ressources forestières. On y retrouve plusieurs mouvements de protection de l’environnement
et les expériences de gestion des ressources communes.
Tout ceci justifie que la communauté de l’économie écologique décide de se retrouver pour débattre sur des thèmes variés sur la « durabilité écologique et le bien-être de l’homme » dans cette partie
du globe. De façon incidente, l’année 2006 marque le centenaire de la
naissance de Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen qui est reconnu comme étant
le précurseurs de l’économie
écologique grâce à son livre « la loi de l’entropie et le processus économique» paru en 1971.
EcoHealth ONE: Forging Collaboration Between Health and Ecology
October 7th-10th 2006 at the
University of Wisconsin-Madison
(posted 27May2006)
First biennial conference of the International
EcoHealth Association. The
meeting theme of this conference is "Promoting Global Health - Sustaining
Natural Resources."
Deadline for abstracts for oral presentations or
posters, as well as full sessions for the EcoHealth
ONE conference is accepting submissions through the 15th of June 2006.
See website ( www.ecohealth.net/conference/site)
and follow the links to abstract submission page.
Some funding is available if you are a student or
young scientist from a developing country.
Visit website for details on how to apply.
Contacts: Please contact us at conf2006@ecohealth.net if you have any
questions, concerns or problems.
Content Areas and Who Should Attend:
Co-sponsored by the World Health Organization (WHO) and Pan American Health
Organization (PAHO), along with the International EcoHealth
Association’s many partner institutions this conference will bring participants
from around the world. The conference is for researchers, educators, policy
makers and representatives of academia, government, NGOs, and international
agencies. Experts from the fields of medicine, public health, wildlife and
veterinary medicine, urban planning, conservation biology, ecology, geography, economics,
sociology, environmental history, medical history, agronomy, and other
disciplines will convene to better understand the linkages between ecology and
health.
Organisers are not only interested in submitted abstracts on research and
training in current issues bridging ecology and health, but also historical
papers or case studies that might inform current research questions,
directions, and policy addressing human or wildlife health problems stemming
from ecological disturbance (see list of Preliminary Sessions.)
Because the integrity of human health, wildlife health, and ecosystems
are closely tied, EcoHealth ONE will provide a unique
forum to (1) advance emerging, highly interdisciplinary scientific work in this
arena, (2) promote the interaction of a diverse audience concerned with
sustainable health and environment, and (3) consider how to address challenges
in an effective and unified way.
