El estado y la distribución de los peces endémicos de agua dulce en la cuenca del Mediterráneo

A mutually beneficial cooperation between agricultural production and wildlife!

In the production system based on bird-human cooperation, cooperation is one of the most important principles, which is not only about the protection of birds, but also about the intertwining of the entire ecosystem, the entire community of life, and even environmental effects and processes on the same level. In this new approach, we leave behind the mistaken assumption of modern man that the human race is above the system and has the duty or natural right to control it.

The production practice based on bird-human cooperation therefore means an ecological management based on a horizontal change of approach, the driving force of which is the continuous expansion of knowledge in the field of natural sciences – especially in the field of ecology and environmental interactions – and which connects this knowledge with the existing practice and determines the production goals for the with a responsible consideration of available options and resources.

Proposes an overview of the concept of sustainable use, drawing from the growing body of literature concerned with common property resources, ecosystem management and community based natural resource management. It also provides a synoptic account of the state of living natural resources in Mesoamerica, taking into account the efforts undertaken in situ and ex situ Conservation. It also addresses many of the drivers that are affecting the management and final use of natural resources, with particular emphasis on traditional knowledge systems and community based natural resource management. A final section analyses the range of on-going experiences in the local se and management of natural resources, including forest resources, non timber forest products, wildlife and coastal and marine resources. It is hoped that this state of the art review will serve as a reference for future conservation and sustainable use efforts in the Mesoamerican region.
