The Puerto Cabello-Morón coastal area of Venezuela is an ideal location for industries that require large land areas, water, marine transportation, minimum habitation, cooling water and waste disposal options both on land and sea. However, mercury spills between 1957 and 1976 have produced concern in the entire coastal zone from Puerto Cabello to Chichiriviche (70 kilometres of coastline) and the National Park area. MARNR, the Ministry of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources in Venezuelarequested Bechtel to evaluate the impact of the majorindustries in this area. Bechtel's investigation included chemical, biological and toxicity analysis of the rivers, and key locations along the coast and the sea and industrial effluents. In addition, a literature search was made of any previous work to assist in the evaluation and recommendations for any necessary corrective action. The investigation identified negative impacts due to the effluent discharge of the major industries. Recommendations for wastewater management included installation of wastewater stabilization lagoons for treatment and ocean outfalls for final effluent disposal.

The Impact

Conflict can’t be separated from the activity of community life and both are integrated. Humans will make efforts in order to fulfil their needs, including in terms of natural resources. Conservation areas or better known as the national park is one of the areas most prone to conflict over natural resources. This study aimed to analyze the reality of conflict, the factors causing conflicts, the impact of conflict, the relationship of factors causing conflict with the intensity of emerging conflict and the forms of conflict resolution in the park area. This research is quantitative research was supported by qualitative data with the instrument questionnaires and in-depth interview guide. The problem between farmers and the park is caused by the change of status of Perhutani area into Gunung Gede Pangrango National Park. This transformation changed the rules of the people who initially worked on the land in the region to be stalled. The conflicts natural resource issues until 2016 increasingly complex due to intimidation received by farmers every year. In resolving conflicts, researchers provide the idea of Community Based Conflict Management (CBCM) as a method of reducing conflict.Keywords: Analysis of conflict, natural resources, national parksABSTRAKKonflik tidak bisa dipisahkan dari aktivitas kehidupan bermasyarakat dan keduanya saling berintegrasi. Manusia akan melakukan berbagai usaha agar kebutuhan hidupnya dapat tercukupi termasuk dalam hal sumberdaya alam. Kawasan konservasi atau yang lebih dikenal dengan sebagai taman nasional merupakan salah satu daerah yang paling rawan terjadi konflik sumberdaya alam. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis realitas konflik, faktor-faktor penyebab konflik, hubungan faktor-faktor penyebab konflik dengan intensitas konflik emerging dan gagasan penyelesaian konflik di kawasan Taman Nasional Gunung Gede Pangrango. Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian kuantitatif didukung oleh data kualitatif dengan instrumen kuesioner dan panduan wawancara mendalam. Permasalahan antara petani penggarap dengan pihak taman nasional disebabkan oleh adanya perubahan status kawasan Perhutani menjadi Taman Nasional Gunung Gede Pangrango.

The Impact

To contain transmission of COVID-19, lockdown or strict restriction of people’s mobility outside their residence was imposed worldwide. In Nepal, the first phase of nationwide lockdown was observed from March 24 to July 21, 2020. This sudden halt in human activities brought positive and negative impacts on forests and wildlife. We undertook a study was undertaken to know the impact of the CoViD-19 lockdown on wildlife and forests in the protected areas (PAs) of Nepal. The study was carried in July and September 2020, data of illegal activities recorded by the PAs and also those reported by media were obtained and analyzed. Key Informant Interview (KII) was done with the park officers and security personnel by virtual communication that included telephone, messenger app, and ZOOM video meeting to collect detailed information and for verification. The collected data were categorized into four groups: i) wildlife killed, ii) wildlife injured, iii) arrest incidents related to forest crime, and iv) arrest incidents related to wildlife crime. Data from the fiscal year 2019-2020 were analyzed, comparing before lockdown and after. The study found trends of substantial increases in. wildlife death in two PAs, Banke National Park and Bardia National Park out of 20 during the lockdown. Similarly, Chitwan National Park (CNP) and Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park (SNNP) witnessed a rise in wildlife poaching. CNP and SNNP are located close to highly populated cities and also having human settlements in their peripheries. Interestingly, wildlife was easily sighted inside PAs during the lockdown, presumably because the absence of visitors and human activities during the lockdown decreased disturbance. Thus, a paradoxical situation was observed with the wildlife enjoying the freedom of movement on the one hand, but with poachers, many of them laid off from other activities, taking advantage of the lapse in security.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to model the impact of geotourism on geoconservation by observing two popular geotourism activities, namely, rock climbing and hiking. It proposes that as much as geotourism activities have potential negative impacts, they can also bring about positive modification of critical ecosystems like that of Hell’s Gate National Park. Design/methodology/approach This research opted for an exploratory research design using both open and close-ended questionnaires from 351 respondents and was complemented by documentary analysis. The statistical relationship between geotourism activities and geoconservation was modelled through linear regression. Findings As predicted the computation using hiking and rock climbing to predict geoconservation were significant with p = 0.004 < 0.05 and p = 0.002 < 0.05, respectively. Implying that selected geotourism activity(s) are positively related to geoconservation Practical implications Recognizing the symbiotic relationship, values and relevance of geotourism to geoconservation as a dynamic approach to preservation of protected area management is central to promoting ecosystem stewardship and contributes to the achievement of United Nations development goals. Originality/value This paper fulfils an identified need to study how geotourism activities can be used to preserve/conserve the ecological environments and geoheritage of a destination

The Impact

Greenhouse horticulture is one of the most intensive agricultural systems, with the advantages of environmental parameter control (temperature, light, etc.), higher efficiency of resource utilization (water, fertilizers, etc.) and the use of advanced technologies (hydroponics, automation, etc.) for higher productivity, earliness, stability of production and better quality. On the other hand, climate change and the application of high inputs without suitable management could have negative impacts on the expansion of the greenhouse horticulture sector. This special issue gathers twelve papers: three reviews and nine of original research. There is one review that focuses on irrigation of greenhouse crops, while a second surveys the effects of biochar on container substrate properties and plant growth. A third review examines the impact of light quality on plant–microbe interactions, especially non-phototrophic organisms. The research papers report both the use of new technologies as well as advanced cultivation practices. In particular, new technologies are presented such as dye-sensitized solar cells for the glass cover of a greenhouse, automation for water and nitrogen deficit stress detection in soilless tomato crops based on spectral indices, light-emitting diode (LED) lighting and gibberellic acid supplementation on potted ornamentals, the integration of brewery wastewater treatment through anaerobic digestion with substrate-based soilless agriculture, and application of diatomaceous earth as a silica supplement on potted ornamentals. Research studies about cultivation practices are presented comparing different systems (organic-conventional, aeroponic-nutrient film technique (NFT)-substrate culture), quantitative criteria for determining the quality of grafted seedlings, and of wild species as alternative crops for cultivation.
