Back to Conservation Programs Our Mission A Rainforest Alliance-certified coffee farm may have a varied landscape that includes a community watershed, forest reserves, streams, and worker housing and schools. The mission of the sustainable agriculture program is to protect ecosystems and the people and wildlife that live within them by developing and implementing best management practices and standards for commodity crops, providing incentives to farmers to meet those standards, and encouraging the marketing industries and consumers to support farmers who are making on-farm improvements toward sustainability. Farmers, companies, cooperatives, and landowners that participate in our programs meet comprehensive, rigorous standards for protecting biodiversity conservation and sustainability by integrating productive agriculture, conservation, workers, and local communities. By verifying that certified farms are employing best management practices, the Rainforest Alliance is helping reduce the environmental impacts and increase the social benefits of tropical agriculture.

We recognize that healthy soils are vital to the long-term viability of our business. We do not take any more nutrients from the soil than we must. After harvest, we reincorporate the banana plants and fruit stalks into the soil as nutrients.

Home Page Principles and Guidelines of Sustainable Development ... Publications MANITOBA SUSTAINABILITY INDICATORS AND REPORTING INITIATIVE Purpose The purpose of the Manitoba Sustainability Indicators and Reporting Initiative is to establish a set of indicators for sustainability reporting that will provide information on the key vital signs of Manitoba's environment, economy, human health and social well-being, and discuss the linkages and interdependencies between these areas. This information is intended to provide the basis for making better informed, holistically based decisions, to ensure future generations have the same or better opportunities we do. It will aid in benchmarking, as well as monitoring trends and determining progress toward established targets. Legislated Mandate The process of developing a set of provincial sustainability indicators began in July of 1998, with the passing of The Sustainable Development Act . Under part 5 of the Act, the Province of Manitoba must establish a set of sustainability indicators and prepare a provincial sustainability report based on these indicators by July 2005. Sustainability Reporting has replaced State of the Environment Reporting, which was required in

Report a Problem NEW Small Stores Fight Back - The myth is that big stores get bigger because they can offer customers more value at better prices. The truth is a little more complicated. One of the real advantages of bigness is the ability to dominate potential customers' consciousness with your advertising. Once that happens, smaller businesses, no matter what value they offer, might as well not exist. Now, smaller stores are catching on. They're learning to cooperate on advertising to enable them to compete with larger stores. The Community Justice Center - It's pretty obvious that our present adversarial, criminal justice system is badly flawed. Even when it works, it leaves a costly trail of ruined lives - both criminals and victims - and impoverished communities. Restorative Justice is a process for creating solutions that enrich everyone, not just the lawyers and prison builders. Instead of dwelling on punishment and revenge, restorative justice "elevates the position of victims and the community in the justice process, allows for direct participation of community members in delivering justice, and holds offenders directly accountable to the victims and communities that have been harmed".

Program and Area Directors Recent Grants 2003 Grants 2002 Grants 2001 Grants 2000 Grants Conservation and Sustainable Development More About This Program Through rapid growth in population and increasing demand for resources, the world is in danger of losing much of its genetic, species, and ecosystem diversity. To address this challenge and to increase understanding of the strong relationships between the health of the biosphere and the welfare of human communities, the Foundation has established the Conservation and Sustainable Development area. This area is dedicated to conserving biodiversity, to enhancing knowledge of how to use natural resources sustainably over the long term, and to promoting environmentally sustainable economic growth benefiting those living in or near sensitive areas. Purpose The area's exclusive focus is on dealing with the problems of endangered tropical ecosystems. These are the regions with the greatest degree of species diversity, but are also plagued by acute human poverty and are often experiencing rapid population growth. Strategies The major categories in which the Foundation awards grants for conservation and sustainable development follow from a conceptual map that indicates a flow of influences on natural resources, beginning with threats in specific places, which can be addressed with a combination of conservation tools. The framework for Conservation and Sustainable Development grantmaking is based on geographic priorities. The Foundation will consider proposals that address significant threats to biodiversity within priority regions.

Malta: University of Malta The study aimed to provide an account which identifies a means of monitoring protected sites with a holistic approach so as to assess their biological and economical sustainability with a planning, management and conservation point of view. The study was based on two case studies namely Ghajn Tuffieha (North West Malta) and Ramla (Gozo). The study involved analysis of various studies previously undertaken in the two sites and a research involving a biodiversity study of both marine and terrestrial fauna and flora of the two sites together with an anthropogenic study involving beach population counts.

80. Financial Sustainability In Biodiversity Conservation Programmes Financial sustainability in Biodiversity conservation Programmes. The need for additional resources arises from the imbalance between http://biodiversityeconomics.org/finance/topics-24-00.htm

Home Up Financial Sustainability in Biodiversity Conservation Programmes The need for additional resources arises from the imbalance between a country's need for capacity building and provision of basic infrastructure for conserving biodiversity on the one hand, and the ability of the country to mobilise resources on the other. It appears that domestic resources in most developing countries will continue to be inadequate for financing the conservation of biodiversity. And there are other reasons why financial resources are needed for Biodiversity: First of all, many of the benefits of biodiversity flow to all citizens of the world, while the costs tend to fall on the countries with only limited financial resources. Secondly, while many investments in conserving biodiversity will provide substantial benefits, these are often long-term and the full benefits may not be realised for many years, while the costs need to be paid today, necessitating long-term bridge financing which is difficult to obtain in developing countries. Finally, payment for conservation services provided to the global community by developing countries and hence avoiding irreversible losses of biodiversity when countries are poor, may be highly valued after those countries become more wealthy. Jeffrey A. McNeely, Chief Scientist at the IUCN wrote a paper that surveys the current situation, presents trends, and promising innovations in the financing of biodiversity conservation. It describes each promising financial tool and the policies, technologies, and entrepreneurial initiatives required to make the tool successful. It emphasises innovative tools that are relatively poorly known.
