Continental shelf benthic ecosystems play an important role in the economy of many coastal states through the provision of food, non-living resources and through control of climate.

Ecosystem structure, economic cycles and market-oriented conservationEnvironmental Conservation - Tập 28 Số 3 - Trang 194-198 - 2001
Carolyn Crook, Roger Alex Clapp
Whether market-oriented conservation, by which we mean the promotion of markets for the products of intact ecosystems, protects biodiversity, and under what conditions, has been a subject of much research and debate. Our evaluation of three strategies of the market-oriented use of natural resources led us to conclude that, at least for these three strategies, market-oriented mechanisms of ...... hiện toàn bộ

W.F. de Boer, DULCINEIA S. BAQUETE
Participation by local communities in management is widely considered a means of sustaining protected areas. In parts of the world with a history of armed conflict, the chances of such an approach being successfully adopted might seem remote. One such area is the Maputo Elephant Reserve in southern Mozambique. The aim was to improve understanding of the local people's use of natural resour...... hiện toàn bộ
