  • Env Profile Nlstatia-07-2015-In Revision Oct 2015
    BEST III - Working document Remark: This document gathers information from the list of references previously validated for the island. It is a working document that will be implemented following your comments and corrections. It will be used as a guide during the consultation process that will involve local governments, institutions and organizations. The objectives are to identify and map Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) in order to define conservation outcomes. KBAs are defined at 3 ecological levels: (1) species, including: globally threatened species, restricted-range species, and species gathering in important number during their life cycle; (2) sites: habitats that are home to the species previously identified; habitats and ecosystems that play important ecological processes and contribute to the persistence of biodiversity ; (3) ecological corridors: inter-connected landscapes of sites. Regarding the information and references cited hereafter, a list of "potential KBAs" is proposed in App.2. This is a working process that will be validated through the consultation of local actors. Ecosystem profile draft -St. Eustatius IBA, Marine and Terrestrial National Parks Policy and Socioeconomic context Ø Political Status - St. Eustatius (also called "Statia") is located in the northern Lesser Antilles (17°30'N, 62°56'W), situated 25 km south-east from Saba and 13 km north-west of St. Kitts and Nevis islands. St. Eustatius, with the islands of St. Maarten and Saba, formed the Windward Islands of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Together with the islands of St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Eustatius lies on a sub-marine bank with a maximum of 180 m that constitute the St.

  • Bibliografía Botánica Del Caribe I
    Consolidated bibliography Introduction To facilitate the search through the bibliographies prepared by T. Zanoni (Bibliographía botánica del Caribe, Bibliografía de la flora y de la vegetatíon de la isla Española, and the Bibliography of Carribean Botany series currently published in the Flora of Greater Antilles Newsletter), the html versions of these files have been put together in a single pdf file. The reader should note the coverage of each bibliography: Hispaniola is exhaustively covered by all three bibliographies (from the origin up to now) while other areas of the Carribean are specifically treated only since 1984. Please note that this pdf document is made from multiple documents, this means that search function is called by SHIFT+CTRL+F (rather than by CTRL+F). Please let me know of any problem. M. Dubé The Jardín Botánico Nacional "Dr. Rafael M. Moscoso," Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, publishers of the journal Moscosoa, kindly gave permission for the inclusion of these bibliographies on this web site.

  • Methods – UFORE Species Selection
    Methods Species Selector Application Tools for assessing and managing Community Forests Written by: David J. Nowak USDA Forest Service, Northern Research Station 5 Moon Library, SUNY-ESF, Syracuse, NY 13210 A cooperative initiative between: For more information, please visit http://www.itreetools.org Species Selector Application Species Selector Application Introduction To optimize the environmental benefits of trees, an appropriate list of potential tree species needs to be identified based on the desired environmental effects. To help determine the most appropriate tree species for various urban forest functions, a database of 1,585 tree species (see Appendix A) was developed by the USDA Forest Service in cooperation with Horticopia, Inc (2007). Information from this database can be used to select tree species that provide desired functional benefits. This information, in conjunction with local knowledge on species and site characteristics, can be used to select tree species that increase urban forest benefits, but also provide for long-tree life with minimal maintenance. Purpose of Species Selection Program The purpose of the species selection program is to provide a relative rating of each tree species at maturity for the following tree functions, based on a user’s input of the importance of each function (0-10 scale): • Air pollution removal • Air temperature reduction • Ultraviolet radiation reduction • Carbon storage • Pollen allergenicity • Building energy conservation • Wind reduction • Stream flow reduction This program is designed to aid users in selecting proper species given the tree functions they desire. Methods Tree Information Information about the plant dimensions, and physical leaf characteristics (e.g., leaf size, type, and shape) of 5,380 trees, shrubs, cactus and palms were derived from the Horticopia database (www.horticopia.com).

  • Mount Scenery Nature Park Management Plan
    Mount Scenery Nature Park Management Plan. 2018 MOUNT SCENERY NATURE PARK MANAGEMENT PLAN July 2018 December 2018 1 Mount Scenery Nature Park Management Plan. 2018 Date: July 2018 Reference: Mount Scenery Nature Park Management Plan. Authors: MacRae, D.R. and De Meyer, K. Project team • Menno van der Velde Island Territory of Saba [Project leader] • Robert “Bobby” Zagers Island Territory of Saba • Ryan Espersen SABARC, Director • Kai Wulf Saba Conservation Foundation, Parks Manager • Paul Hoetjes, Dutch Ministry of Agriculture Senior Policy Advisor CN About this document This document has been prepared in response to the call for the establishment of the Mount Scenery Nature Park by the Island Government and people of Saba. This document outlines the management provisions for the park and makes recommendations for management of the Park, which is to be overseen by the Island Government and implemented by staff of the Saba Conservation Foundation (SCF) and Saba Archaeological Centre (SABARC). This management plan was prepared by Drs Duncan MacRae (Coastal Zone Management UK) and Drs Kalli De Meyer (Nature 2) in close cooperation with the local Project Team and other local and international experts. The management plan structure, format and process were developed by Drs MacRae and De Meyer in 1994 using the IUCN guidelines for protected area management planning. This template has been reviewed and endorsed by the World Commission on Protected Areas (WCPA). The final draft management plan was delivered in July 2018. Some additional information became available after said date and were incorporated into this document up and until December 2018 (free of charge).
