Book Description
This book invites us to reflect on the restoration of terrestrial ecosystems in the context of a region whose identity is still under construction, Latin America and the Caribbean, immersed in a social, economic, ecological and political crisis, whose roots originate historically and politically in colonialism and in the prevailing model of capital accumulation. For the first time, insights and practical experiences on restoration are gathered from most Latin-American and Caribbean countries. Furthermore, this book offers a social approach to restoration, which will likely become preponderant in this field and in this region. The authors claim that a Latin-American knowledge of restoration is under construction and that this discipline can be a significant tool to empower local populations, which might, in turn, lead to a collective action of change. Case studies from 11 countries of the region were compiled, involving multiple voices that emerge beyond generalist principles and with a bottom-up approach. The main idea of the book is to open a debate about the identity of ecological and social restoration in this region. This book is targeted to restoration specialists, volunteers, environmental managers, researchers, politicians and NGOs working on the complexity of socioecological restoration in a region with unavoidable social problems. It is intended for people with similar concerns to those of the chapters' authors. This work tries to integrate a movement on the rise, almost silent, born with its own narratives of successes and failures that do not hinder its development. Finally, the determination and commitment of Latin-American and Caribbean social actors to restore not only natural values but also social, ethical and cultural ones is remarkable.

Book Description
En el bosque seco andino (bs-A) aledano a la laguna de Fuquene (2543 msnm), se observa un deterioro de la calidad del suelo y la composicion de la vegetacion nativa a causa de la introduccion de especies exoticas en forma de plantaciones monoespecificas introducidas en los 70s con acacia negra (Acacia decurrens) y eucalipto (Eucalyptus globulus). El objetivo principal de este estudio fue aplicar y validar el Potencial de Exito de Restauracion en proyectos de restauracion ecologica a corto plazo, por medio de la evaluacion de cambios en los indicadores propuestos en esta metodologia, aplicando tratamientos especificos para ejercer tecnicas restauradoras con enfasis en los cambios sobre la composicion de la vegetacion y la estructura y composicion fisico-quimica del suelo. Se verifica que el uso del Potencial de Restauracion como metodologia es util para seleccionar los lugares en donde funcionaran mas efectivamente ciertos tratamientos de restauracion."

Book Description
The discussion of ideas, methods, scientific results, empirical practices and perspectives on the restoration of high diversity tropical and subtropical forest formations is the objective of this book; however, principles here proposed may be used in other less complex forest formations. Special attention is given to the role of the ecological processes on the restoration of functional forest communities, once the composition and structure of these natural or even restored communities change in space and time.

Book Description
Edited and written by Harvard Medical School physicians Eric Chivian and Aaron Bernstein, Sustaining Life presents a comprehensive--and sobering--view of how human medicines, biomedical research, the emergence and spread of infectious diseases, and the production of food, both on land and in the oceans, depend on on the earth's disappearaing biodiversity. With a foreword by E.O. Wilson and a prologue by Kofi Annan, and more than 200 poignant color illustrations, Sustaining Life contributes essential perspective to the debate over how humans affect biodiversity and a compelling demonstration of the human health costs.
