Lynx often utilise their large prey for several days and therefore a special behaviour can be observed around a kill site. The aim of this study was to investigate behavioural characteristics of lynx around killed reindeer and examine factors that might affect the behaviour.

  • Conservation-Development Duality: the Biosphere Reserve Sierra De Grazalema After 40 Years in the Mab Programme
    European Journal of Geography Volume 8, Number 2:35 - 54, February 2017 ©Association of European Geographers CONSERVATION-DEVELOPMENT DUALITY: THE BIOSPHERE RESERVE SIERRA DE GRAZALEMA AFTER 40 YEARS IN THE MAB PROGRAMME Yolanda Jiménez University of Granada, Instituto de Desarrollo Regional, C/ Rector López Argüeta, Granada, Spain http://idr.ugr.es/ [email protected] Andrés Caballero Universidad del Norte, Department of Social Sciences, Barranquilla, Colombia http://www.uninorte.edu.co/ [email protected] Laura Porcel University of Granada, Instituto de Desarrollo Regional, C/ Rector López Argüeta, Granada, Spain http://idr.ugr.es/ [email protected] Abstract Since 1971 the programme Man and the Biosphere (MaB) of UNESCO has been dedicated to promoting Protected Areas in which conservation of nature is closely linked to territorial development that is beneficial to local communities. In Spain the first area declared as a Biosphere Reserve was Sierra de Grazalema (1977). The history of the management of this Protected Area is now significant enough to analyze how the applied initiatives aimed at conservation have harmonized with those most directly committed to social and economic development. This paper provides an extensive review of the conservation and development programmes and associated measures implemented in the last ten years in Sierra de Grazalema. Keywords: Biosphere reserve, conservation, development, protected areas, Grazalema. 1. INTRODUCTION During the last several decades, the role of Protected Areas (PA) has been significantly redefined in relation to the debate on sustainability. These changes have been accompanied by major updates in European and worldwide policies on PA (Antón et al. 2008). Mose and Weixlbaumer (2006) and Gamper (2007) published papers on a genuine paradigm shift from static protection to dynamic and integrated approaches.

  • Chapter 2 High Mountains in the Baltic Sea Basin
    Chapter 2 High mountains in the Baltic Sea basin Joanna Pociask-Karteczka 1, Jarosław Balon 1, Ladislav Holko 2 1 Institute of Geography and Spatial Management, Jagiellonian University in Kraków, Poland, [email protected] 2 Institute of Hydrology, Slovak Academy of Sciences, Slovakia Abstract : The aim of the chapter is focused on high mountain regions in the Baltic Sea basin. High mountain environment has specific features defined by Carl Troll. The presence of timberline (upper tree line) and a glacial origin of landforms are considered as the most important features of high mountains. The Scandianavian Mountains and Tatra Mountains comply with the above definition of the high mountain environment. Both mountain chains were glaciated in Pleistocene : the Fennos- candian Ice Sheet covered the northern part of Europe including the Scandinavian Peninsula while mountain glaciers occurred in the highest part of the Carpathian Mountains. Keywords : U-shaped valleys, glacial cirques, perennial snow patches, altitudinal belts The Baltic Sea and its drainage The Baltic Sea occupies a basin formed by glacial basin – general characteristic erosion during three large inland ice ages. The latest and most important one lasted from 120,000 until ap. The Baltic Sea is one of the largest semi-enclosed seas 18,000 years ago. The Baltic Sea underwent a complex in the world. The sea stretches at the geographic lati- development during last several thousand years after tude almost 13° from the south to the north, and at the the last deglaciation. At present it exhibits a young geographic longitude 20° from the west to the east.

  • Tourism Labor Market Impacts of National Parks 115 Zeitschrift Für Wirtschaftsgeographie Jg
    Joakim Byström / Dieter K. Müller: Tourism labor market impacts of national parks 115 Zeitschrift für Wirtschaftsgeographie Jg. 58 (2014) Heft 2-3, S. 115–126 Joakim Byström / Dieter K. Müller, Umeå/Sweden Tourism labor market impacts of national parks The case of Swedish Lapland Joakim Byström / Dieter K. Müller: Tourism labor market impacts of national parks Abstract: In a Nordic context, economic impacts of tourism in national parks remained largely un- known due to lacking implementation of standardized comparative measurements. For this reason, we want to investigate the economic impacts of national parks in a peripheral Scandinavian context by analyzing employment in tourism. Theoretically, the paper addresses the idea of nature protection as a tool for regional development. The scientific literature suggests that nature can be considered a commodity that can be used for the production of tourism experiences in peripheries. In this context nature protection is applied as a label for signifying attractive places for tourists leading to increased tourist numbers and employment. This argument follows mainly North American experiences point- ing at a positive impact of protected areas on regional development. Meanwhile European studies are more skeptical regarding desired economic benefits. A major challenge is the assessment of tourism’s economic impacts. This paper suggests an approach that reveals the impacts on the labor market. This is particularly applicable since data is readily available and, moreover from a public perspective, employment and tax incomes are of uppermost importance in order to sustain population figures and local demand for public services. At the same time accessibility and low visitor numbers form major challenges for tourism stakeholders and complicate the assessment of economic impacts through questionnaires and interviews.

The delta is the most important bird locality in the Sarek region and is especially important as a breeding ground for duck. Physical features: The site comprises Lake Laidaure, into which the delta of the River Rapa is rapidly expanding at the eastern end. The river transports high quantities of mud from the glaciers of the Sarek region. Lagoons and levees are common in the delta, which mainly consists of sandy soils. Ecological features: Salix thickets grow on the levees, and on higher levels there are woods of Betula. Land tenure/ownership of a) site: Ownership is divided between the State, the Swedish nature Conservation Society and private owners. b) surrounding area: no information supplied. Conservation measures taken: Listed as site of national importance to nature conservation. Part of the designated site (300 ha) in the region of the River Rapa delta is included in Sarek National Park, established 24 May 1909.

  • A Case Study of Donana National Park, Andalucia, Spain and the Los Frailes Mine Toxic Spill of 1998
    Curriculum Units by Fellows of the Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute 1999 Volume VI: Human-Environment Relations: International Perspectives from History, Science, Politics, and Ethics Human-Environment Relations: A Case Study of Donana National Park, Andalucia, Spain and the Los Frailes Mine Toxic Spill of 1998 Curriculum Unit 99.06.01 by Stephen P. Broker Introduction. This curriculum unit on contemporary human-environment relations focuses on the interplay of cultural, ecological, environmental, and human health issues. It is a case study of an environmental disaster near Donana National Park, Andalucia, Spain. Donana is considered the most important wetland in Europe. Its marshes, mobile dunes, and forests are unique. In April 1998, a sudden burst in a zinc mine waste reservoir released a billion gallons of heavy metal contaminants into the Guadiamar River, a tributary of the Guadalquivir River, which forms the eastern boundary of Donana National Park. The toxic spill quickly was regarded as a national disaster in Spain, and it received extensive coverage in the press and in science journals. The highly acidic sludge, zinc, cadmium, arsenic, and lead pollutants that were released into the environment continue to threaten the ecology and the biota of this internationally significant wetland. I had the opportunity to visit Spain in the summer of 1998, just several months after the toxic spill occurred. The trip started and ended in Madrid, but the majority of time was spent traveling through the southern and southwestern regions of Spain, in Andalucia and Extremadura. A day excursion to Donana National Park gave me a chance to make first hand observations of the wetland (albeit during the dry season), to discuss ecological and environmental issues with park and tour group representatives, and to obtain some highly informative literature on the region.
