Full textVery little protection has been afforded to wetlands1 and estuaries within the South African legislative framework.2 These ecosystems are extremely important and valuable to mankind, the flora and fauna.3 The continued destruction of wetlands and estuaries is the most heinous act of environmental vandalism on a worldwide scale today.4 Wetland and estuarine loss has been accelerated and extended by human activities such as mining,5 urbanisation,6 drainage, river diversion,7 groundwater abstraction as well as climate change.8 Time is running out for so many critically important sites and for the world at large.9 Without wetlands and estuaries the biosphere10 cannot continue to do its essential work.11 Despite, the importance of a range of resources and services12 which wetlands and estuaries provide, these have been taken for granted by humans.13 As a result hereof, the maintenance of wetlands and estuaries has received low priority in many countries.14 This is further precipitated by the lack of interest and ignorance which result in the conversion of wetlands and estuaries into man-made structures.15 Research has shown that the lack of information and the awareness of the importance of these ecosystems has the made the conservation legislation for these ecosystems a toothless dragon.16 People are becoming increasingly aware17 of the loss of wetlands and estuaries, once in abundance and now merely shadows of their former nature.18 To investigate this lack of protection, the starting point would be the global level.

Full textAlong a simple stroll or through fine observations, you will always find water, wherever you go. However, the asset this resource represents for anthropogenic activities often hides its environmental reality, the one of its cycle. This is reflected in the legal definition of water which conceives it as property. This latter qualification assigns it to a judicial status which reveals the utilitarian function of the resource. Yet, the emergence of the environmental issues confronts water’s legal status to its tangible reality. Thus, the conflict between the law and water’s environmental demands makes way for protective regulations. Along with the hydrologic cycle’s legal representation, they both influence the evolution of water’s status. Consequently, the latter goes beyond property law traditional legal categories and arms itself with a protective purpose. Its rules and concepts are tied to the ecological function of water and to the environmental reality of the hydrologic cycle which shape yet another judicial condition for the water

Full textThis thesis aims at improving the management of wetlands and associated goods/services.By integrating multidisciplinary knowledge to management models, we study the economyas a tool that served Human and Nature. We propose to improve wetlands management bycombining an economic approach to a biological approach in order to express the complexityof these environments in economic models. To do so, this thesis is based on the study ofecosystem services provided by wetlands, which are the functions of habitat, production andregulation. Habitat function is studied through the issue of wetlands accessibility in theGironde estuary by migratory fish species. The production function, closely linked to habitatfunction, is studied through a theoretical model of shared wetland between fish productionand agricultural production. Finally, we address the regulation function by integrating thisfunction in a program of incentives to reduce emissions of agricultural pollutants and restorewetlands

Full textThe Flood pulses are the impellent responsible for the existence, productivity, and interactions of most of the biota in lotic floodplain systems. In the Environmental Protection Area of the Banhado Grande (EPABG), in periods of large flood pulses, is established a connectivity among the Wetlands, forming an extensive flooded area between the Banhado Grande, the Banhado dos Pachecos and the floodplain of the Gravataí river. The Connectivity refers to interactions between differents water bodies such as floodplain, mashes areas and aquatic and riparian systems. This work has as general aim to map and characterize the flood pulses and the connectivity among the wetlands of the EPABG, from remote sensing data. The work is organized in three articles: 1) the effects of the fluctuation of water levels on the dynamics of the wetlands of EPABG, through the analysis of the relationships between the variations of the water level mean in the Gravataí river, precipitation mean and areas with apparent water sheet by NDWI images (Normalized Water Difference Index); 2) the connectivity associated to large flood pulses in the wetlands of the Environmental Protection Area of Banhado Grande, through rainfall data and NDWI images; and 3) the formation of a Shifting Mosaic associated to the flood and dry pulses in the EPABG, through concepts of landscape ecology, rainfall data, Gravataí river level and NDWI images. The results show: 1) the rapid response of the Gravataí River and the area with apparent water sheet to rainfall events. The areas most susceptible to occurrence of apparent water sheet, are located mainly in the area comprised by the Banhado dos Pachecos and also in the areas near the Anastácia Lagoon where, in large flood pulses, a connectivity among the different compartments of the EPABG; 2) the connectivity among the wetlands of the EPABG is directly associated with the altimetric level and the large flood pulses. Two types of connectivity occur: i) stream-wetlands connectivity, when the flood pulses connect the main channel of the Gravataí river to only one mashes area; ii) wetlands-wetlands connectivity, when the flood pulses connect the corridor that connects the mashes (Grande and the Pachecos) to the floodplain of the river Gravataí. This connectivity is generally perceived when the total rainfall in the 30 days before to obtaining the satellite image is greater than 247 mm; 3) In addition to connectivity, the flood and dry pulses create a Shifting Mosaic fully regulated by these pulses. In periods of large rainfall, there is a predominantly aquatic mosaic, with the presence of fish and vegetation adapted to the floods. And in the dry phase it forms a predominantly terrestrial mosaic. It is concluded that the connectivity among the wetlands of the EPABG is directly associated to the large flood pulses. Because they are characterized as unpredictable and of brief duration, the flood pulses in the EPABG occur unexpectedly. However, between the months of June and November there is a greater possibility of occurrence of the flood pulses. It is recommended the creation of public policies aimed at the preservation, lineation and classification of wetlands, mainly in Rio Grande do Sul; and also the preservation of the area of the polygon referring to the quota of 11 meters, along with measures of renaturalization of the ancient meanders of the Gravataí river. It is understood that this area is fundamental for the regularization of discharge, the control of erosive processes in the EPABG and for the establishment of the Management Plan.

Full textThe concept of sustainable development was promoted in the Rio Conference in1992 with the adoption of a number of legal instruments. African law has probablyadapted to the rules and principles inherent to the concept with, as a consequence,consolidation or revision of codes and laws to protect the environment. Facingrecurrent environmental problems, the difficult Integrated water resources, criticaloperationalization of solidarity drinking water for all, the failed environmentalgovernance, the question of the efficient development of the law of the Africanenvironment in relation to the concept of sustainable development arises. It proves afailure in the seizure of the concept by the African law. Finally, a new model ofenvironmental law in favor of the countries of West Africa is necessary

The Changhua Coastline had suffered from coastal erosion and overtopping which had caused great damage to the coastal neighborhood and society. In order to prevent from these disasters, the government had spent tons of money and built 93 km long seawall. These evidences shows that the Changhua coast had been a vulnerable place where needed to be protected and restored. Even though people had known the Changhua coastal wetland had been such a weak and vulnerable place, some still intend to overdevelop and degrade this area for economic returns mostly due to unrecognizing the values of ecosystem services provided by this coastal wetland. This study thus aims to evaluate the economic benefits of protecting the coastal area from coastline retreating and overbank flood. The averting expenditure of imposing wave energy dissipating concrete block and preventative expenditure to build seawall are used to estimate the economic benefits from the coastal wetland, and it adds up with the value between 8,581,490~12,094,701 NT dollars per year.

This study aims to design an educational board Game about coastal wetland protection and to evaluate its influence on the upper-grade elementary school students’ learning including environmental knowledge, attitudes, skills and learning motivation. To develop the board game prototype, the author reviewed relevant literatures about wetlands, environmental education and board games and interviewed two elementary school teachers and a board-game expert. The evaluation of the board game includes expert evaluation, small-group evaluation, and a field trial. In the expert-evaluation stage, two elementary school teachers evaluate the prototype according to the four aspects in the ETGD instrument including board-game content, learning guidance, instructional design, and learning materials. In the small-group-evaluation stage, six sixth-grade students played the board game, and they were requested to think aloud while playing the game. Then, the six students were interviewed to express their opinions on the game-play experience and on how to improve the game design. In the field-trail stage, to understand students’ knowledge change, a class of 25 six-grade students played the game and took the pre- and post- tests. Also, two groups of students were interviewed to express their attitudes toward the game. The field-trail results reveal that the students significantly improved their environmental attitude and skills, and that there is no significant difference between the pre-test and post-test on the environmental knowledge. Besides, the average scores of the students’ learning motivation is 4.06, and this result indicates the students have intermediate-high motivation about using the board game to learn wetland protection. Among the four aspects in the ARCS motivation model, the students have the highest score on relevance aspect, and it means the students think the board-game content relevant to their experiences. However, students have the lowest score on the confidence aspect, and it means the students are unsure whether they can play the game well. In addition, the results of interviewing the two groups shows that students enjoy the art style and interface design of the board game, and that they think the difficulty level of playing the game is moderate. Yet, they suggest the design of cheating prevention, explanation of game strategies within the App, App functions, and uncertainty and novelty be further improved. Based on the findings, the suggestions about application of board games in environmental education, board-game design, and future research are provided.

Today where the social relationship network reaches almost every corner, people, organizations and resources are closely connected together. Social network analysis is used to present the attributes of this social configuration, thus balancing the social coherence. With the context of social network where the cooperative behavior of non-profit organizations (NPOs) that advocate environmental protection is analyzed, the momentum that brings the shared awareness together is identified and the laden influence of action is uncovered. The volunteer workers of environmental protection advocating NPOs and their supporting units were selected as the subjects for sampling and interviews doe data collection and analysis. The social network theory was used to verify the core issues and expose the influence of each role’s cooperative behaviors and the accumulation of social capitals. The study showed that if it is possible to effectively connect the strong and weak members of a social network to resources outside of the network, it helps to improve the implementation power of group, effectively accumulate the influence of social capitals, consolidate the human resource development for volunteer workers, deepen the initial capabilities of community, and expand the performance of actions. The study results may contribute to the development of cooperative behavior and human resource for the environmental protection advocating NPOs.

Full textSouth African urban areas have seen a significant number of wetlands lost or degraded in the name of development. Thus, most urban wetlands are seldom pristine, many are canalised, dredged, drained or filled. This is partly because wetlands are located in strategic locations (from an economic point of view) in the landscape, and so, are often considered as prime development land. This is unfortunate as urban wetlands perform a diverse range of valuable functions, what is more, the loss of urban wetlands impact negatively on the surrounding urban population. A typical example is that of the Libradene Wetland, found in Boksburg, Gauteng, which was partially destroyed by an attempt to construct a petrol station on it. This study explores how and why the fate of this particular wetland was sealed, with particular reference to the legislation pertaining to wetlands. The study concluded that although wetlands are protected by legislation, the enforcement of the legislation was slow. The wheels of administrative justice turn slowly, a flaw in the system the developer tried to fully exploit. In addition, unethical practises by the developer and perhaps professionals in the paid services of the developer, resulted in non-compliance with EIA regulations, the National Environmental Management Act (107 of 1998), Environmental Conservation Act (73 of 1989) and the Conservation of Agricultural Resources Act (43 of 1983). Although the development ceased, to date, no one has been brought to book and the wetland has not been rehabilitated at all. As a result of this study, a number of recommendations are made (i) consolidate the fragmented administration of environmental legislation concerning wetlands in South Africa under one government department, (ii) improve the relationships between the respective authorities at all government levels (iii) strengthen the public participation process and (iv) to strength the national wetlands database.

Wetlands - which generlly include swamps, marshes, bogs and similar areas - provide vital habite for fish and widelife and offer numerous other benefits. However most of the coastal wetlands in Taiwan are threatened by human activities such as drainage for agriculture production, filling for industrial development, and the discharge of wastes into waters. This essay discusses the problems and issues of coastal wetlands protection occured in Taiwan. It advocates a "wise use" concept of wetlands and highlights the necessity of proper institution for wetland administration. Several strategies on wetlands management are also proposed in response to the challenges that we are facing in Taiwan today.
