ConservationEconomy.net: A Pattern Language For Sustainability
This site presents a pattern language for sustainability defining sectors of opportunity and their linkages for the emerging conservation economy of the 21st century. The conservation economy
http://www.conservationeconomy.net/

Extractions: On this site, fifty-seven patterns provide a framework for an ecologically restorative, socially just, and reliably prosperous society. They are adaptable to local ecosystems and cultures, yet universal in their applicability. Together they form what we call a Conservation Economy Together, the patterns form a visual and conceptual framework that can be used to inspire innovation, focus planning efforts, and document emerging best practices. A conservation economy comprehensively integrates Social Natural , and Economic Capital to demonstrate that a sustainable society is both desirable and achievable. The conservation economy framework provides the basis for our wide range of Training and Consulting Services , helping businesses, governments, and non-profits make a just and viable transition to sustainability. In order to constantly test the ideas behind a conservation economy, we also host an international "open source"

Introduction To Handbook For Wetlands Conservation And Sustainability
Handbook for Wetlands conservation and sustainability Introduction. Our nations wetlands have been polluted, filled in, paved
http://www.iwla.org/SOS/handbook/intro.html

Extractions: Introduction Wetlands have been central to the Leagues dedication to clean water and wildlife throughout the Leagues history. The Izaak Walton League of America (IWLA) was formed in 1922 by 54 anglers who banded together to save the Mississippi River. Wetlands have been central to the Leagues dedication to clean water and wildlife throughout the Leagues history. In 1923, one of its first victories was the establishment of the Upper Mississippi River Fish and Wildlife Refuge, which encompasses 300 miles of the river. This refuge protects all bottomlands from drainage from Lake Pepin, Minn. to Rock Island, Ill. In 1924, League members identified water pollution, deforestation and wetlands drainage as the most pressing issues facing the country. During the last 76 years, the IWLA has worked at the national level to create legislation to protect wetlands and at the local level through the Leagues 350 chapters. In the past, most of the Leagues educational materials about wetlands have focused on regulatory avenues for wetlands conservation. It is now apparent that legal avenues alone will not protect wetlands as urban sprawl and development engulf our nations natural areas. The "Handbook for Wetlands Conservation and Sustainability" was created as part of the wetlands education initiative started by the Leagues Save Our Streams (SOS) Program to help people become wetland stewards by learning about wetland ecology, how wetlands function and what benefits they provide to society. The purpose of this handbook is not to produce wetland scientists but to provide basic information to people who do not have a background in science and to encourage them to consult with experts in the field.

Extractions: SEATTLE.GOV City Services Departments Staff Directory ... City Contacts Sustainable building can reduce the tremendous impact that building design, construction and maintenance has on both people and nature. According to the U.S. Department of Energy's Center for Sustainable Development, buildings consume 40% of the world's total energy, 25% of its wood harvest and 16% of its water. The building industry is the nation's largest manufacturing activity, representing more than 50% of the nation's wealth and 13% of its Gross Domestic Product. Energy and material consumption in buildings can contribute significantly to global climate change. Sustainable building goes beyond energy and water conservation to incorporate environmentally sensitive site planning, resource efficient building materials and superior indoor environmental quality. Some of the key benefits are: Sustainability does not require advanced training in esoteric applications nor is it a technology limited to highly-specific market niches. Sustainability combines three components economy, environment and social equity and implies global stewardship of the earth's resources.

http://www.ento.csiro.au/conservation/about.html

Extractions: Description One focus of the project is an investigation of the effects of habitat fragmentation on the genetics and demographics of threatened invertebrate taxa. Data are being used to develop quantitative population viability models useful for predicting long term population persistence and assessing alternative management options. Tools for community assessment of invertebrate diversity for use as an indicator of habitat quality and assessment of restoration actions are being developed. WEB-based identification and analysis tools in conjunction with community based survey techniques are providing data on invertebrate diversity in a variety of river floodplain vegetation types. By using the assistance of school children this project actively seeks to promote environmental education to both primary and secondary school students.

Holling Department of Mathematics, University of British Columbia; Division of Wildlife and Ecology, CSIRO; Department of Zoology, University of Florida ABSTRACT The purpose of this essay is to define and refine the concepts of stability and resilience and to demonstrate their value in understanding the behavior of exploited systems. Some ecological systems display several possible stable states. They may also show a hysteresis effect in which, even after a long time, the state of the system may be partly determined by its history. The concept of resilience depends upon our objectives, the types of disturbances that we anticipate, control measures that are available, and the time scale of interest.

http://www.ecologyandsociety.org/vol3/iss1/art13/

Extractions: ABSTRACT This perspective presents a case for environmental scientists to mobilize their communication efforts and to develop a systematic approach to marketing scientific knowledge to a range of key target audiences. Examples of environmental marketing are presented, and a call to action is presented in the spirit of discussion. KEY WORDS: marketing sustainability, perspective. Published June 30, 1999. INTRODUCTION Human behavior is influenced by a variety of communication media. However, mass marketing tools (such as advertising, public relations, and sales promotions) have become increasingly fundamental to our consumption-based culture (Leiss et al. 1990). Advertising, in particular, has evolved into a privileged form of discourse (Leiss et al. 1990): ads are everywhere. As a practitioner of consumer packaged goods marketing, I spent long hours developing and executing detailed marketing plans for such ignoble products as Dentyne chewing gum. As a researcher in marketing, I have studied how marketing vehicles such as advertising can create, influence and change target audience attitudes, beliefs, and perceptions. In a nutshell, marketing works. That's why corporations use it. A more interesting question is, how can scientists use it too?
