Les désastres naturels se multiplient et les menaces — changement climatique, mais aussi pollutions, destruction de la biodiversité — ont fini par convaincre la plupart. Une politique écologique ambitieuse s’impose pour sauver la planète. Cela ne se fera pas sans efforts considérables, sur tous les plans, à commencer par l’économie. L’effort à consentir est colossal : au moins 4% du PIB mondial annuel, pendant plusieurs décennies. ll faut agir sans tarder mais en combinant les trois instruments principaux : normes réglementaires, taxes ou à l’inverse, subventions, incitations par les prix. Cette approche se décline dans tous les secteurs : énergie, habitat, industrie. Le traitement des pollutions et le recyclage, l’agriculture, l’élevage et la pêche ; la protection des forêts et de la biodiversité, la préservation des ressources en eau...

In This Together explores how we can harness our social networks to make a real impact fighting the climate crisis. Against notions of the lone environmental crusader, Marianne E. Krasny shows us the power of "network climate action"—the idea that our own ordinary acts can influence and inspire those close to us. Through this spread of climate-conscious practices, our individual actions become collective ones that can eventually effect widespread change.Weaving examples of everyday climate-forward initiatives in with insights on behavioral and structural change, Krasny demonstrates how we can scale up the impact of our efforts through leveraging our community connections. Whether by inviting family, friends, or colleagues to a plant-rich meal or by becoming activists at climate nonprofits, we can forge the social norms and shared identities that can lead to change. With easy-to-follow dos and don''ts, In This Together shows us a practical and hopeful way forward into our shared future.

135 pages. Temps de lecture estimé 1h41min.
A Clouded Leopard in the Middle of the Road is an eye-opening introduction to the ecological impacts of roads. Drawing on over ten years of active engagement in the field of road ecology, Darryl Jones sheds light on the challenges roads pose to wildlife—and the solutions taken to address them. One of the most ubiquitous indicators of human activity, roads typically promise development and prosperity. Yet they carry with them the threat of disruption to both human and animal lives. Jones surveys the myriad, innovative ways stakeholders across the world have sought to reduce animal-vehicle collisions and minimize road-crossing risks for wildlife, including efforts undertaken at the famed fauna overpasses of Banff National Park, the Singapore Eco-Link, "tunnels of love" in the Australian Alps, and others. Along the way, he acquaints readers with concepts and research in road ecology, describing the field''s origins and future directions. Engaging and accessible, A Clouded Leopard in the Middle of the Road brings to the foreground an often-overlooked facet of humanity''s footprint on earth.

165 pages. Temps de lecture estimé 2h4min.
The environmental history of “the most polluted lake in America.”Native Americans have long regarded Onondaga Lake as one of the most sacred spaces in the continent, the place where peace between nations was achieved and the Haudenosaunee Confederacy was created. In the mid-twentieth century, however, it acquired a wholly different reputation as “the most polluted lake in America.” Toxic Lake is an environmental history of this complex ecological system, tracking how it was tarnished, the costly efforts to clean it up, and the controversies those efforts generated.Thomas Shevory argues that the history of Onondaga Lake mirrors the larger environmental history of the US, from colonization to the industrial era, resulting, eventually, in the rise of social movements and legislative action for environmental protection. Layered within this history is the dismissal of indigenous land claims and the marginalization of indigenous voices in clean-up efforts. Toxic Lake illustrates that the failure to prevent the environmental destruction of Onondaga Lake was part of a political climate which favored unregulated industrial production and urban growth, ignoring the destructive impacts on local environments. Shevory argues this larger failure was the result of an active process of privileging the economic interests of polluters over other business interests, expanding neighborhoods, and indigenous rights. He concludes with an investigation of New York’s recent declaration that the clean-up is complete, questioning what exactly that means and whether the lake’s status as a sacred space will ever be re-established. Toxic Lake is a compelling work of history, demonstrating the disastrous effects of pollution and the importance of community involvement in environmental activism.

Flourishing in the Age of Climate Change explores skills we need to successfully navigate the distinctive environmental, social, and economic challenges of the twenty-first century. Our inability to address increasing resource constraints, social conflict, and ecological decline lead many toward a deep pessimism that saps motivation for change. Drawing on research from environmental science, ethics, psychology, sociology and educational theory, William M. Throop shows why cultivating underdeveloped skills involved in collaboration, humility, frugality and systems thinking can enable flourishing within our context. He also illustrates how we can strengthen such skills individually and how education can scale up their cultivation, which will be essential for achieving sustainability. Flourishing in the Age of Climate Change is a hopeful, practical resource for readers passionate about creating a world where we can thrive, and where flourishing is widespread.

What if you could challenge your sixth graders to come up with a way to help tackle climate change in their own community? With this volume in the STEM Road Map Curriculum Series, you can! Human Impacts on Our Climate outlines a journey that will steer your students toward authentic problem solving while grounding them in integrated STEM disciplines. Like the other volumes in the series, this book is designed to meet the growing need to infuse real-world learning into K–12 classrooms. This interdisciplinary, three-lesson module uses project- and problem-based learning to help students investigate aspects of climate change that have been driven by the rise in global temperatures over the past century. Working in teams, students will use an engineering design process to identify a local environmental problem, develop a model to help monitor and minimize its impact, and create a presentation about their findings. To support this goal, students will do the following: • Explore differences between weather and climate and explore temperature as an indicator of global warming. • Examine the role that greenhouse gases play in global temperature warming. • Explain the causes and effects of climate change and how humans have influenced it. • Use mathematical modeling and numerical data to explore climate change’s impact. • Analyze and synthesize credible resources to form scientific arguments regarding climate change. • Develop a deeper understanding of how climate change influences the economy, our society, and people everywhere. The STEM Road Map Curriculum Series is anchored in the Next Generation Science Standards, the Common Core State Standards, and the Framework for 21st Century Learning. In-depth and flexible, Human Impacts on Our Climate can be used as a whole unit or in part to meet the needs of districts, schools, and teachers who are charting a course toward an integrated STEM approach.

Get help teaching one of the hottest topics in science with Understanding Climate Change, Grades 7–12. This nine-session module is written to be practical and accessible. It provides both extensive background and step-by-step instructions for using three-dimensional methods to explore this complex subject. It fits easily into a middle or high school curriculum while addressing the Next Generation Science Standards. The material can be covered in just three or four weeks or used in part to supplement your existing curriculum. Best of all, your students will find the module truly engaging. Rather than spoon-feeding them information, the lessons spur them to investigate evidence of climate change and global warming for themselves. Understanding Climate Change is designed with the Learning Cycle and the BSCS 5E Instructional Model in mind. The module starts with an in-depth look at sources of CO2 (carbon dioxide) and the greenhouse effect. It then addresses misconceptions about climate change; in fact, an entire session is devoted to evaluating information to see if it’s accurate, verifiable, complete, and from a reputable source. Then the lessons prompt students to conduct their own scientific research, discuss ripple effects, and examine solutions. The authors deliberately structured this module to build a conceptual foundation without risking information overload. Your students will come away prepared to analyze what they hear about climate change outside of class. They’ll also be ready to use critical thinking skills to draw their own conclusions about what should be done and to come up with ways they can take action to mitigate the effects of climate change in their homes, schools, and communities.

The ordinary destinations and events she explores are scattered across seven states and include such wonders as a half-million purple martins roosting on an island in a South Carolina lake, the bloom of thirty acres of dimpled trout lilies in a remote Georgia forest, gnat larvae that glow like stars on the rock walls of an obscure Alabama canyon, and the overnight accumulation of elaborately patterned moths on the side of a North Carolina mountain cabin.These phenomena and others reveal how plants, mammals, amphibians, and insects are managing to persevere despite pressures from human invasion, habitat destruction, and climate change. Their stories also shine a light on the efforts of dedicated scientists, volunteers, and aspiring young naturalists who are working to reverse losses and preserve the fabulous ordinary that’s still alive in the fields, forests, rivers, and coastal estuaries of this essential and biodiverse region.

This book, aimed at Engineers, Architects, Building Technicians, and Students, offers a crucial insight into bioclimatic building construction in Tropical Africa. It addresses the common oversight of climatic characteristics in building design, emphasizing the need to consider weather conditions, especially in warm periods. The book analyzes current housing, compares it with vernacular and colonial models, and proposes bioclimatic designs using passive architectural techniques.A key model involves a mathematical analysis of complex admittances, considering local materials like hollow blocks, BTCS, terracotta bricks, laterite stones, granite rubble, and vibrated mortar tiles. Combined with passive techniques, this forms a bioclimatic building model tailored to dry tropical climates. The author, in accessible language, advocates for promoting locally available materials as alternatives to conventional ones, anticipating potential shortages in building aggregates in tropical African countries.

Ecologizing Education explores how we can reenvision education to meet the demands of an unjust and rapidly changing world. Going beyond "green" schooling programs that aim only to shape behavior, Sean Blenkinsop and Estella Kuchta advance a pedagogical approach that seeks to instills eco-conscious and socially just change at the cultural level. Ecologizing education, as this approach is called, involves identifying and working to overcome anti-ecological features of contemporary education. This approach, called ecologizing education, aims to develop a classroom culture in sync with the more-than-human world where diversity and interdependency are intrinsic.Blenkinsop and Kuchta illustrate this educational paradigm shift through the real-world stories of two public elementary schools located in British Columbia. They show that this approach to learning starts with recognizing the environmental and social injustices that pervade our industrialized societies. By documenting how ecologizing education helps children create new relationships with the natural world and move toward mutual healing, Blenkinsop and Kuchta offer a roadmap for what may be the most potent chance we have at meaningful change in the face of myriad climate crises. Timely, practical, and ultimately inspirational, Ecologizing Education is vital reading for any parent, caregiver, environmentalist, or educator looking for wholistic education that places nature and the environment front and center.

Les 26 et 27 décembre 1999, Lothar et Martin, deux tempêtes lourdes d'effets ont traversé la France, laissant derrière elles des forêts méconnaissables, des forestiers meurtris et une filière de la forêt et du bois fortement et durablement affectée. Pourquoi les écosystèmes forestiers sont-ils si vulnérables ? Pourquoi de tels aléas se produisent-ils ? Comment en limiter les effets ? Quelques années plus tard, et au lendemain d'une nouvelle tempête, Klaus, qui a frappé le Sud-Ouest du pays, cet ouvrage de synthèse apporte les réponses de la communauté scientifique à ces questions, notamment à travers les résultats du programme de recherche intitulé « Forêt, vent et risque », lancé en 2000 par les Pouvoirs Publics et animé par le Gip Ecofor.Cet ouvrage est destiné au monde forestier, gestionnaires, techniciens et professionnels, aux chercheurs, ainsi qu'aux enseignants et aux étudiants.

L’auteure s’est interrogée sur la façon dont les cas de cruauté ou de maltraitance animale sont traités par la justice. Pour cela elle s’est appuyée sur un matériau précieux, plus de 120 décisions de justice pour lesquelles, la SNDA s’est constituée partie civile avec l’appui de Me Patrice Grillon. Chaque cas résume un drame, celui de la torture infligée à un animal et la suite judiciaire qui lui sera réservée, mais aussi met en évidence la noblesse des témoins qui osent intervenir.Un dernier cas est plus largement développé à la fin de l’ouvrage : celui du chat de la gare de Montparnasse, coupé en deux par un train dont le démarrage aurait pu être retardé. Le processus judiciaire n’est pas terminé, mais il est révélateur de la contradiction entre respect et indifférence à l’égard du droit des animaux. Comme l’écrit la nouvelle présidente de la SNDA dans son mot d’introduction : le droit n’est pas une matière figée, il faut s’agissant de la protection animale tenir compte des évolutions scientifiques : tel est le sens de la postface.Cet ouvrage devrait servir d’outil pédagogique renforçant la détermination des professionnels mais aussi d’un public sensible à la cause animale.

Dans un contexte mondial qui fragilise les productions d'herbivores des pays européens, cet ouvrage interdisciplinaire, coordonné par l'Académie d'Agriculture de France, montre la réalité et l'importance de la multifonctionnalité des prairies et en soulève les enjeux politiques. Ainsi les prairies contribuent-elles très fortement à la préservation des sols, de la biodiversité, de la qualité des eaux et des paysages, à la régulation des régimes hydriques mais aussi aux qualités des produits laitiers et carnés des herbivores. Dans cet ouvrage, destiné à un large public de décideurs, d'acteurs du développement territorial et agricole, d'étudiants et enseignants, les auteurs mettent en évidence les performances écologiques et économiques des systèmes herbagers et plaident pour une démarcation de la qualité des produits par des signes officiels. Ils soulignent l'importance des politiques publiques territoriales de soutien pour assurer la viabilité économique des exploitations d'élevage d'herbivores ; celles-ci doivent reconnaître et rémunérer les services sociétaux rendus par ces systèmes de production.

Le lac d'Annecy, de par sa superficie, est le deuxième lac entièrement français et l'un des lacs les plus propres au monde. Et pourtant, avant les années 1950, il est le déversoir naturel des eaux usées des communes qui le bordent et est menacé d'eutrophisation. Cette mort lente est évitée de justesse, grâce à la prise de conscience des communes environnantes et les divers usages du lac ont ainsi été préservés. Cette synthèse fait suite au travail magistral de Marc Le Roux (1908) : elle situe le lac dans son environnement, décrit l'évolution de la physico-chimie de ses eaux, des microorganismes et la modification de la biocénose qui va de l'apparition d'espèces nouvelles de poissons à la disparition d'autres espèces.Elle est destinée aux hydrobiologistes, décideurs, enseignants et étudiants qui souhaitent approfondir leurs connaissances sur ce magnifique plan d'eau.

The results presented in this book summarize the main findings of the CARBOFOR project, which brought together 52 scientists from 14 research units to investigate the effects of future climate on the carbon cycle, the productivity and vulnerability of French forests. This book explains the current forest carbon cycle in temperate and Mediterranean climates, including the dynamics of soil carbon and the total carbon stock of French forests, based on forest inventories. It reviews and illustrates the main ground-based methods for estimating carbon stocks in tree biomass. Spatial variations in projected climate change over metropolitan France throughout the 21st century are described. The book then goes on to consider the impacts of climate change on tree phenology and forest carbon balance, evapotranspiration and production as well as their first order interaction with forest management alternatives. The impact of climate change on forest vulnerability is analysed. A similar simulation study was carried out for a range of pathogenic fungi, emphasizing the importance of both warming and precipitation changes. The consequences of climate change on the occurrence of forest fires and the forest carbon cycle in the Mediterranean zone are also considered.A valuable reference for researchers and academics, forest engineers and managers, and graduate level students in forest ecology, ecological modelling and forestry.

Eagles have fascinated humans for millennia. For some, the glimpse of a distant eagle instantly becomes a treasured lifelong memory. Others may never encounter a wild eagle in their lifetime. This book was written by people who have dedicated years to the study of eagles, to provide an insider''s view for all readers, but especially those who have never been up close and personal with these magnificent yet often misunderstood creatures. In their stories, twenty-nine leading eagle researchers share their remarkable field experiences, providing personal narratives that don''t feature in their scientific publications. They tell of their fear at being stalked by grizzly bears, their surprise at being followed by the secret police, their embarrassment when accidentally firing mortar rockets over a school gymnasium, and their sense of awe at tracking eagles via satellite. The reader experiences the cultural shock of being guest of honor at a circumcision ceremony, the absurdity of sharing an aquatic car with the Khmer Rouge, and the sense of foreboding at being press-ganged into a frenzied tribal death march through the jungle. The Eagle Watchers covers twenty-four species on six continents, from well known (bald eagle; golden eagle), to obscure (black-and-chestnut eagle; New Guinea harpy eagle), and from common (African fish eagle) to critically endangered (Philippine eagle; Madagascar fish eagle). The diverse experiences vividly described in this book reveal the passion, dedication, and sense of adventure shared by those who study these majestic birds and strive for their conservation. Featuring stunning color photographs of the eagles, information on raptor conservation, a global list of all eagle species with ranges and conservation status, and a color map of the sites visited in the book, The Eagle Watchers will appeal to birders, conservationists, and adventure travelers alike. To further support the conservation programs described in this book, all royalties are being donated to two leading nonprofit organizations for raptor conservation training and fieldwork: Hawk Mountain Sanctuary Intern Program and the National Birds of Prey Trust.

Over the course of a year, Jules Pretty walked along the shoreline of East Anglia in southeastern England, eventually exploring four hundred miles on foot (and another hundred miles by boat). It is a coast and a culture that is about to be lost—not yet, perhaps, but soon—to rising tides and industrial sprawl. This Luminous Coast takes the reader with him on his journey over land and water; over sea walls of dried grass, beside stretched fields of golden crops, alongside white sails gliding across the intricate lacework of invisible creeks and estuaries, under vast skies that are home to curlews and redshanks and the outpourings of skylarks. East Anglia''s coastline is as much a human landscape as it is a natural one, and Pretty is equally perceptive about the region''s cultural heritage and its "industrial wild": fishing villages and the modern seaside resorts, family farms and oil refineries, pleasure piers and concrete seawalls, cozy pubs and military installations. Through words and photographs, Pretty interweaves stories of the land and sea with people past and present. He is a passionate and sensitive guide to a region in transition, under stress, and perhaps even doomed, as finely attuned to its history as he is to its unique sensory world.

431 pages. Temps de lecture estimé 5h23min.
Partant de l’étude du geste de l’homme à cheval du XVe au XXe siècle à travers les traités d’équitation classique, l’auteur explore l’hypothèse selon laquelle il existerait « un code partagé » au cœur des communications interspécifiques entre humains et non-humains. Plusieurs mythes fondateurs d’Orient et d’Occident évoquent l’idée d’une « langue unique » parlée par les hommes et les animaux depuis le début de l’Humanité. Situé à l’interface de la linguistique et de l’éthologie, le scientifique suggère une zoosémiotique cognitive capable d’objectiver ce langage archaïque. En mobilisant les connaissances actuelles dans le domaine de la cognition humaine et animale, il suggère le concept de syntaxe archaïque au cœur de la diversité des langages. Connue en réalité sous des termes variés à travers les traditions philosophiques ou métaphysiques, orientales ou occidentales, la syntaxe archaïque ternaire autorise réellement l’édification d’une linguistique darwinienne obéissant aux lois de la géométrie élémentaire. À travers cette démonstration passionnante, l’auteur renoue avec la tradition de la science classique de Parménide à Fernando Pessoa et restaure la philosophie et la métaphysique de la Sphère. À l’heure où les prétendues « philosophes et philosophies de la déconstruction » envahissent les campus universitaires occidentaux, cet ouvrage inédit ose rappeler modestement les principes universaux qui régissent la science classique qui ne peut exister sans la rigueur de la démarche mathématique et géométrique. L’auteur propose donc de redécouvrir à l’œuvre la dynamique de la linguistique « sphérique » connue de l’Orient à l’Occident depuis de nombreux siècles sous une forme profane ou sacrée ! Comme l’affirme le primatologue japonais Imanishi Kinji, la science authentique cherche le Principe au-delà des Phénomènes.

Il prouve conséquemment l’exemple des jeunes qui travaillent jour et nuit afin de voir progresser la science. Il n’est pas le seul alors. Il considère en effet que les nouvelles technologies offrent plusieurs avantages et opportunités pour se faire entendre. Il utilise cependant les acquis de sa formation pour participer au renouvellement méthodologique des études en sciences sociales. Pour ce faire, il utilise des démarches exemplaires et des approches dignes de ce nom. Il cumule l’observation de terrain, les entretiens dirigés, l’analyse statistique, des sources documentaires et des outils en études du développement. Il pense ainsi contribué par cette rigueur à l’élargissement des points de vue dans le cadre de l’appréhension de l’environnement et ses dynamiques actuelles au Mali et en Afrique...

En 1540, Hans Stolz, vigneron à Guebwiller, décrit le climat, évoquant une chaleur torride et une pénurie d’eau sans précédent qui frappe le pays. Les moulins sont à l’arrêt et de nombreux bovins meurent de soif. De plus, le ciel est obscurci par la fumée des multiples feux de forêts. Un grand nombre de chroniqueurs décrivent cette année de sécheresse, la pire en Europe depuis 1500. De tels récits, complétés par des observations quotidiennes et des mesures à l’aide d’instruments pour les périodes postérieures, ont contribué à la reconstitution des températures saisonnières depuis l’an mille ; un travail pionnier qui a donné lieu à la création de données statistiques auxquelles ont participé les deux auteurs de cet ouvrage.Avec les résultats de ces recherches, Christian Pfister et Heinz Wanner ont pu reconstituer, pour la première fois, l’histoire du climat saisonnier en Europe. Les analyses montrent qu’avant 1900, les hivers froids dominaient, tandis que les étés étaient plutôt équilibrés. Avant l’influence de l’effet de serre d’origine humaine, les fluctuations étaient surtout liées à des modifications de l’orbite terrestre, à l’activité solaire et à des éruptions volcaniques.L’ouvrage alterne entre explications et récits qui illustrent la manière dont la population a vécu et a fait face à des événements tels que la sécheresse millénaire de 1473, la chute brutale des températures de 1709, les voyages de découverte du Nouveau Monde par les Vikings, l’apparition des loups à Paris, les persécutions de sorcières au xvıe siècle dues au climat, et la famine déclenchée en Europe par l’éruption du volcan indonésien Tambora en 1815. Le chapitre final souligne les causes de l’état d’urgence climatique actuel et propose une projection vers l’avenir.Grâce à son langage accessible et à son illustration convaincante, ce livre répond à la fois aux besoins des spécialistes et du grand public.

2024 Outstanding Academic Title, given by Choice ReviewsExplores fracking’s dual impact on settler colonial culture and sustainabilityThrough meticulous research and poignant storytelling, Land of Extraction unravels the complex web of relationships between humans, places, and the environment, all bound by the concept of private property. It presents a thought-provoking analysis of how settler colonial culture imposes limits on environmental politics.Drawing on real-life events, fictional portrayals of fossil-fuel driven apocalypses, and firsthand ethnographic accounts of the fracking and pipeline boom in West Virginia, Rebecca R. Scott argues that the American dream’s promise of empowerment through property ownership actually restricts action against extractive industries and hampers the progress of environmental justice coalitions.As the ever-expanding reach of natural gas and pipeline industries takes its toll on communities, the book reveals the fractures in landowners’ reliance on private property, opening the door to more sustainable futures. A powerful call to reevaluate our perspectives and challenge the status quo, this book will leave readers questioning the foundations of our society and the possibilities that lie ahead.

Le cheval est un animal compagnon dont la relation avec l’humain a fortement évolué au cours des siècles. D’une relation utilitaire et économique, nous sommes passés à une relation sociale aux tonalités profondément affectives. Des joies de l’équitation à celles de la présence animale, des pratiques sportives aux approches dites « éthologiques », une seule constante demeure : la passion du cheval.Pourtant, au cœur des pratiques associées à cette passion, des tensions éthiques émergent. Pourquoi nous, humains, aimons tant les chevaux ? Comment expliquer le plaisir que le cavalier éprouve sur le dos du cheval ? Ce plaisir est-il partagé ? Comment s’articulent l’amour du cheval et celui de l’équitation ? Que produisent nos pratiques sur la relation humain-cheval et sur le partenaire animal ?À travers une enquête philosophique portée par le souvenir d’un petit cheval particulier, l’auteur se propose d’explorer les formes et les enjeux d’une passion aux multiples facettes, dans le souci de mieux prendre en compte les intérêts du cheval et de respecter son altérité.
