Reliance on “hard,” human-engineered structures—“gray” infrastructure—has been the conventional way to manage water needs for economic development. But building dams, piping water, and constructing protective barriers is capital intensive may address only a few problems ( 1 ). Gray infrastructure often damages or eliminates biophysical processes necessary sustain people, ecosystems habitats, livelihoods. Consequently, there renewed focus “green” infrastructure, which can be more flexible...
Twenty years ago, in 2000, the term “forest landscape restoration” (FLR) was first defined by a group that included among others, all of authors on this paper. Today, FLR is widely accepted and promoted diverse groups, at levels, from political to scientific. To mark FLR's 20th anniversary, we look back major progress challenges faced implement concept since its definition. We explore specifically five questions: (1) What are top achievements milestones related last 20 years? (2) key...
Background. There were 1.45 million deaths from tuberculosis (TB) in 2011. A substantial proportion of active pulmonary TB cases countries where tuberculosis, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, and AIDS are highly endemic remain undiagnosed because the reliance on sputum-smear microscopy. This study evaluated performance Xpert MTB/RIF assay at a tertiary care referral center Zambia, country burden HIV infection is high. Methods. total 881 adult inpatients admitted to University...
Those developing the forthcoming UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration stress importance of ecosystem conservation whilst addressing need to reverse ongoing losses biodiversity and services that have serious impacts human livelihoods.We suggest six ways in which area-based (protected areas other effective measures) could play a key role decade: 1. Best practice restoration within protected OECMs; 2. Using as component specific approaches; 3. Maintenance reference ecosystems important species;...
This session will critically examine new and emerging approaches to adaptation using three contrasting themes illustrate key issues. The comprise 3 panels on: Conservation/biodiversity, Coastal Systems Urban Systems. Each panel address the common of (a) co-benefits transformation issues; (b) how handle uncertainty; (c) justice dimensions; (d) links between systems; (e) working across scales – national policy local implementation.
