Estudio sobre los conflictos por el control y aprovechamiento de recursos naturales, territoriales y ambientales entre los años 2011 y 2012 a la luz del actual debate sobre el desarrollo en el Bolivia.

The economies of many countries such as the Gulf and Southern African States are to a considerable extent sustained by financial flows from extraction of mineral resources and fossil fuels. The discovery of such fortunes, in sufficiently viable quantities, can be a significant national blessing for effectively addressing development challenges. However, experience in other countries has shown that financial resources obtainable from mineral and fossil fuel extraction – the Extractive Industry, have not always assisted economic and social development.

This chapter addresses issues related to securing access and rights to resources, and gaining benefits from the resource within the context of one community-based initiative in the village of Ololosokwan in Tanzania.

This report presents the key findings on forest land use and land-use change between 1990 and 2005 from FAO’s 2010 Global Forest Resources Assessment Remote Sensing Survey. It is the first report of its kind to present systematic estimates of global forest land use and change. The ambitious goal of the Remote Sensing Survey was to use remote sensing data to obtain globally consistent estimates of forest area and changes in tree cover and forest land use between 1990 and 2005.

This tenth edition of State of the World's Forests elaborates on a fundamental truth: forests, forestry and forest products play a critical role in sustainable development. State of the World's Forests is published every two years. Throughout history, deforestation has accompanied economic development. It was primarily in response to deforestation that the concept of sustainable development originated and evolved within forest science.

Ce document est un rapport de capitalisation des acquis du Projet pilote d’économie et de valorisation de l’eau d’irrigation dans le périmètre des Doukkala (GCP/MOR/033/SPA) qui s’inscrit dans le cadre d’une convention de partenariat entre le Ministère de l’agriculture et de la pêche maritime du Maroc, la FAO et le Ministère de l’environnement et du milieu rural et marin espagnol (MARM).

In the June issue of the Natural Resources and Environment newsletter, we examine the importance of the newly established Global Soil Partnership. Soil specialists, international organization staff, the donor community and academics discuss what such collaboration can achieve. We note the events of World Water Day, highlighting water and food security. Moreover, a new web site, Sustainability Pathways, focuses on greening the economy with agriculture and related ecosystem services.

In this issue of the NR Newsletter, we welcome 2012 as the UN-declared International Year of Energy for All, an opportunity to concentrate global attention on the challenges facing both developed and developing countries when addressing access to and efficient use of sustainable energy sources. We also take a look at an interesting land tenure project that aims to bring advanced technology land registration systems to developing countries, through low-cost open-source software.

This AQUASTAT report presents the most recent information available on water resources and their use in the 22 countries in the Southern and Eastern Asia region. Clearly it has an emphasis on agricultural water use and management. But in addition it contains the relevant tables and maps, and a regional synopsis emphasizing the particular characteristics of this large and diverse region. It also analyses the changes that have occurred since the first survey in 1999.

La dixième édition du rapport sur la Situation des forêts du monde part d'un constat fondamental: les forêts, la foresterie et les produits forestiers jouent un rôle essentiel dans le développement durable. La Situation des forêts du monde est publiée tous les deux ans. Dans toute l'histoire de l'humanité, le développement économique a entraîné dans son sillage la déforestation. C'est d'ailleurs en grande partie en raison de la déforestation qu'a été mis au point le concept de développement durable, qui a ensuite évolué au sein des sciences forestières.
