Una gran cantidad de personas en los paises en desarrollo depende del medio ambiente natural para sus medios de vida, sea en tierras de cultivo o bosques, humedales o zonas costeras. Para estas personas, el medio ambiente es mucho mas que una fuente de recreacion, es la base de la economia. Pero carencias en el funcionamiento de los mercados, derechos de propiedad incompletos y politicas equivocadas pueden llevar a las personas a seguir comportamientos que son racionales en el corto plazo o desde un punto de vista individual, pero daninos para el medio ambiente y las futuras generaciones. La economia tiene mucho para ofrecer en la comprension y en la orientacion de este comportamiento. Tambien proporciona herramientas para los tomadores de decisiones enfrentados a opciones dificiles. Como podemos comparar el valor de los beneficios ambientales con los costos de su preservacion? Como podemos evaluar los impactos de la intervencion ambiental (o de la no intervencion) sobre los pobres? Como deberiamos repartir los costos de las mejoras? Este libro expone la forma como investigadores en cuatro de las redes regionales de economia ambiental del IDRC han tratado cuestiones como estas en una gran variedad de situaciones en Asia, Africa y America Latina. Reune las percepciones de mas de 15 anos de investigaciones y evalua sus impactos sobre las politicas publicas y sobre la comunidad cientifica. Concluye con una mirada hacia el futuro de la economia ambiental en el mundo en desarrollo.

Ha trabajado en el IDRC desde 1982, primero como Director de Politica Economica y desde 1993 hasta 2006 como director fundador del Programa Economico y Ambiental para el Sudeste Asiatico.

Sustainability is a concept that has monopolised a large number of the scientific debates in a wide range of spheres connected not only with architecture, urban planning and construction, but also with the product market, tourism, culture, etc. However, sustainability is indissolubly linked to vernacular architecture and the lessons this architectu

The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.

Vacant urban land--the product of land market activity, the actions of private agents, and the policies of public agents--is an important challenge for policy makers. Vacant lots on the urban fringe and in central and interstitial areas have affected growth patterns in Latin America. Contributors to this book analyze the problems and opportunities related to vacant urban land in five cities: Buenos Aires, Argentina; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Quito, Ecuador; Lima, Perú; and San Salvador, El Salvador.

Descended from a long and ancient lineage, tapirs are important tropical forest seed dispersers. However, today, all species of tapirs are threatened to various degrees by habitat destruction and hunting. This action plan was written with wildlife biologists, ecologists, administrators, educators and local conservation officials in mind and is aimed at those countries with tapir populations. It provides a brief natural history of each species and its objective is to aid in their conservation by catalyzing conservation action. In addition, it is hoped that the contents of the plan will stimulate further research into this fascinating group of animals.
