- Dive
into the oceans with Google Earth
Very little is known about oceans. That’s why very little
- less than one percent - of the Earth’s oceans are protected,
compared to 12 percent of the land surface. ‘Ocean in Google
Earth’, launching today, lets virtual voyagers find out
what marine species live where and discover marine protected areas,
one of the best tools for protecting our oceans. Internet users
can now travel in 3D through the vast and largely unknown underwater
world of the planet’s oceans, allowing visitors to fly over
and around underwater seamounts or follow scientific research
expeditions as they mine the depths of the oceans for new species
and discoveries.

Publication - IUCN Guidelines for applying protected area management
categories
Dudley, Nigel, ed.
ISBN 978-2-8317-1086-0
IUCN’s Protected Areas Management Categories, which classify
protected areas according to their management objectives, are today
accepted as the benchmark for defining, recording and classifying
protected areas.They are recognized by international bodies such as
the United Nations as well as many national governments. As a result,
they are increasingly being incorporated into government legislation.
These guidelines provide as much clarity as possible regarding the
meaning and application of the Categories. They describe the definition
of the Categories and discuss application in particular biomes and
management approaches. |

GÉOCARREFOUR
Nº82 Nº 4. Les parcs nationaux entre conservation durable
et développement local
Auteur: Stéphane
Héritier. Université Jean-Monnet, Saint-Etienne, CNRS
UMR 5600 Environnement-Ville- Société
Le numéro 4/2007 de la revue Géocarrefour a été
l'occasion pour huit chercheurs, de réfléchir sur la
place des parcs dans le fonctionnement des territoires et leur capacité
à contribuer au développement des sociétés
locales (développement durable/local). Quels que soient les
arguments qui les légitiment (sanctuarisation de la nature,
réserve de ressources, aménagement du territoire), les
parcs nationaux, et les aires protégées en général,
soustraient des régions au contrôle des sociétés
locales ai bénefice de forces extra-locales (qu'elles soient
publiques ou privées). Elle les soustrait également
è leur usage par les interdictions et les réglementations
qui sont établies par celui que l'on pourrait définir
comme un "régulateur territorial", c'est-à-dire
l'Etat ou le service public qui le représente. |

FIL
DES GRANDS SITES N°4 - Quelle multifonctionnalité de la
forêt dans les Grands Sites ?
Le Fil des Grands Sites vise à stimuler les échanges
d’expériences entre les Grands Sites sur un thème
précis. C’est une réunion organisée autour
d’un ou deux témoignages de gestionnaires de Grands Sites.
Les échanges sont enregistrés, retranscrits dans un
feuillet thématique qui est ensuite diffusé au sein
du Réseau et rendu disponible pour tous sur le site Internet
du Réseau des Grands Sites de France. Les thèmes portent
sur tout ce qui a trait à la valorisation et à la préservation
des paysages. |

Publication on Protected Landscapes and Cultural and Spiritual Values
This is the second volume in the new series on the Values of Protected
Landscapes and Seascapes produced by the Protected Landscapes Task
Force of IUCN’s World Commission on Protected Areas (WCPA).
In launching the series early in 2008, we explained the rationale
behind protected landscapes: some lived-in landscapes are so important
for conservation and sustainable development that they deserve special
protection and IUCN has recognised such landscapes in which effective
national or local conservation measures are already in place as Category
V protected areas: Protected Landscape and Seascapes. |

Fluctuations
of Glaciers (prepared by the World Glacier Monitoring Service - WGMS)
The series 'Fluctuations of Glaciers' (FoG), prepared by the World
Glacier Monitoring Service (WGMS), continuously publishes internationally
collected, standardised data on changes in glaciers throughout the
world at 5-yearly intervals.
The objective of the publication is to reproduce a global set of
data which:
- affords a general view of the changes,
- encourages more extensive measurements,
- invites further processing of the results,
- facilitates consultation of the further sources, and
- serves as a basis for research.
This standardised data set should be regarded as a working tool
for the scientific community, especially concerning the fields of
glaciology, climatology, hydrology, and quaternary geology.
