Bird Community Conservation and Carbon Offsets in Western North America
Conservation initiatives to protect and restore valued species and communities in human-dominated landscapes face huge challenges linked to the cost of acquiring habitat. We ask how the sale of forest carbon offsets could reduce land acquisition costs, and how the alternate goals of maximizing α or β-diversity in focal communities could affect the prioritization land parcels over a range of con...
متن کاملCarbon offsets for conservation and development in Indonesia?
The logic of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) and other such `carbon (C) offsets' rests on the notion that the opportunity cost of reducing C emissions is lower in developing countries, creating opportunities for mutually bene®cial C trading. While the CDM may offer signi®cant gross ®nancial bene®ts, there has been little analysis of the opportunity costs of foregone resource exploitation ...
متن کاملWeeds Management in Organic Farming through Conservation Agriculture Practices
Despite weeds are a serious threat to promotion of organic farming, relatively less attention is given to research on weed management. This article explores a scope of integration of conservation agriculture for weed control and soil protection under organic farming. Limitation in the use of agro-chemicals under OF promotes intensive tillage for weed control. Mostly, tillage leads to depletion ...
متن کاملEnvironmental offsets, resilience and cost-effective conservation
Conservation management agencies are faced with acute trade-offs when dealing with disturbance from human activities. We show how agencies can respond to permanent ecosystem disruption by managing for Pimm resilience within a conservation budget using a model calibrated to a metapopulation of a coral reef fish species at Ningaloo Reef, Western Australia. The application is of general interest b...
متن کاملBuilding a Credible Carbon Offsets
Bradford Gentry opened the workshop by addressing the variability in prices that Yale encountered when it was shopping for renewable energy credits (RECs). What does it mean if one REC is priced at $38 per ton of CO2 equivalent while another one goes for $10/ton of CO2 equivalent, for example? Gentry suggested that the wide variety of green technologies available may account for this disparity,...
