Conserving Cultural Landscapes
Author: Ken Taylor
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317800907
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 412
Book Description
New approaches to both cultural landscapes and historic urban landscapes increasingly recognize the need to guide future change, rather than simply protecting the fabric of the past. Challenging traditional notions of historic preservation, Conserving Cultural Landscapes takes a dynamic multifaceted approach to conservation. It builds on the premise that a successful approach to urban and cultural landscape conservation recognizes cultural as well as natural values, sustains traditional connections to place, and engages people in stewardship where they live and work. It brings together academics within the humanities and humanistic social sciences, conservation and preservation professionals, practitioners, and stakeholders to rethink the meaning and practice of cultural heritage conservation, encourage international cooperation, and stimulate collaborative research and scholarship.

Queensland's Threatened Animals
Author: Lee K Curtis
Publisher: CSIRO PUBLISHING
ISBN: 0643104577
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 467
Book Description
Queensland is home to 70% of Australia’s native mammals (226 species), over 70% of native birds (630 species), just over half of the nation’s native reptiles (485) and native frogs (127), and more than 11 000 native plant species. Hundreds of these have a threatened status in Queensland. In order for Queensland to maintain and recover a healthy biodiversity we must address the serious problems faced by our natural environment – habitat loss, inappropriate land management, change in fire regimes, pollution of natural resources, proliferation of invasive species and climate change. This book features up-to-date distribution data, photos and maps for most of Queensland’s threatened animals. It also includes a comprehensive list of resources, with key state, national and international organisations involved in the recovery and management of threatened species. Queensland's Threatened Animals will provide vital information to scientists, educators, business entities, government agencies, students, community groups, environmental NGOs, regional NRMs and potential volunteers.

The Right to Protect Sites
Author: Pamela Faye McGrath
Publisher: Aiatsis Research Publications
ISBN: 9781922102393
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 378
Book Description
Have native titles rights made it easier for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to manage special places and protect them from the impacts of development? A large and profitable Indigenous heritage management industry has emerged in the wake of the resources boom of recent decades, with thousands of Indigenous heritage impact assessments conducted every year. Yet few governments have successfully reformed heritage laws to accommodate native title rights, and conflict over site destruction is regularly front page news. "The right to protect sites" examines the key cultural, legal and conceptual complexities of the intersection between native title law and Indigenous heritage. Featuring contributions from native title and heritage experts, among them Graham Atkinson, Deane Fergie, Janet Hunt, Emma Lee, Jo McDonald, Pamela McGrath, Ian McNiven, Benedict Scambary, Carolyn Tan and David Triggger, this timely volume gives an unprecedented overview of Indigenous place-based heritage management regimes around the country. It charts the history of advocacy and policy development and highlights the successes, limitations, inequalities and opportunities of current arrangements.

Uncommon Ground
Author: Veronica Strang
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000181359
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 219
Book Description
- What makes people care about the environment? - Why and how do different cultural groups value land in different ways? With increasing international concern about green issues, and the apparent failure of mechanistic solutions to complex problems, Uncommon Ground provides a timely understanding of the cultural values that underpin human-environmental relations. Through a comparison of two very different groups, the Aboriginal people and the white cattle farmers in Far North Queensland, Uncommon Ground explores how the human-environmental relationship is culturally constructed. This highly topical study also examines the long-term conflicts over land in Australia, which have brought to the surface each group's environmental values. The author considers how these values are acquired, and the universal and cultural factors that lead to their development. Major emphasis is put on the cultural forms that create and express environmental values for the Aborigines and the white pastoralists, such as: - historical background - land use and economic modes - socio-spatial organization - language, knowledge and methods of socialization - oral and visual representation - cosmological beliefs and systems of law This book is very accessible and should be widely used on anthropology, environmental studies and geography courses.]
