At each point along the way he finds varying mixtures of economic dynamism, cultural diversity, ethnic tension, ecological strain and political turmoil.
Planned construction of the dam in an area of ecological diversity, ethnic tensions, and seismic activity, as well as the expected relocation of an estimated 15,000 people, has sparked a groundswell of grassroots opposition.
Offering an anthropological critique of biodiversity discourses, I explore the tensions in an ecological restoration project on the remote Indian Ocean island of Diego Garcia in the Chagos Archipelago, where the species classified by conservationists as invasive has economic, historical, and socio-cultural significance for the displaced former inhabitants of the islands.
In his new movie, "Wendigo," the Wolfman legend becomes the basis for a story of family tension, class warfare and ecological revenge, set again in a snowy, isolated upstate village.
All these concepts are similar in that they attempt to reconcile tensions between socioeconomic and ecological goals in water infrastructure projects.
Bierne et al. 2011 proposed that intrinsic (environment-independent) genetic incompatibilities may coincide with ecological boundaries, as these environmental transition zones often "trap" the tension zones resulting from e.g. assortative mating.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of fibers from PET bottles on the process of manufacturing ecological concrete, seeking to optimize the mechanical properties of compression and tension.
Our experimental strategy allowed us to address a potential link between the apparent neuronal regeneration capacity of these animals and the ecological challenges within their normal habitat known to provide varying oxygen tension (Berner and Puckett, 2010).
Although this tension has been pronounced in assessments of the management of ecological and social ecological systems, it can perhaps be resolved by making resilience, rather than efficient exploitation, the specific objective of the decision process (Fig. 3).
This list of suggestions, while not exhaustive, can help you play a key role in reducing the tensions within the nexus which can enhance food, water, energy and ecological security.
