   Abstract : Based on a participatory action research methodology and approach (AR), this dissertation explores the core theoretical problems and opportunities of education and learning for sustainable development (ESD) within the cross-disciplinary area of integrated and sustainable conservation of built environments. The main purpose has been to develop an epistemological framework for integrated lifelong learning, ethics and advanced research (R&D) and to provide a new sustainable education and career model for the field to be applied in the Dalecarlia region and on a national level within the Swedish construction industry at large; i.

4. 2. The martial politics of biodiversity protection: Wildlife conservation practices in northern Kenya

   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; social order; CBNRM; war by conservation; militarism; green militarization; Samburu; environment; the Northern Rangelands Trust NRT ; community conservation;

   Abstract : Wildlife conservation is entangled with broader conflict dynamics in pastoral and semi-arid northern Kenya and tackles livestock theft, road banditry and inter-communal conflict. The thesis aims to better understand this ‘war by conservation’, in which conservation and military-like practices address and tie into wider security issues. READ MORE

5. 3. Stadens morfologi som kulturarv

   Author : Gunila Jivén; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; integrated conservation; analysis method; instrumental tool; morphology;

   Abstract : Disciplines associated with history and conservation have traditionally been used to evaluate heritage values in the built environment. Although general problems of development in the urban environment are not addressed directly by this approach, there is a background to be found in the goals of official cultural policy; this indicates the need for new and complementary analytical methods.

6. 4. Effects of community- and government-managed marine protected areas on tropical seagrass and coral communities

   Author : Angelica Chirico; Johan Eklöf; Nils Kautsky; Even Moland; Stockholms universitet; []

   Abstract : Tropical seagrass beds and coral reefs are among the most productive and diverse ecosystems on Earth and provide ecosystem services, such as fish production and coastal protection, and support livelihoods of millions of people. At the same time, these ecosystems are threatened globally by anthropogenic disturbances, such as overfishing, pollution and global warming. READ MORE

7. 5. Urban shades of green : Current patterns and future prospects of nature conservation in urban landscapes
