Identifying priority areas for bioclimatic representation under climate change: a case study for Proteaceae in the Cape Floristic Region, South Africa [An article from: Biological Conservation]

Description:
Biological reserves are established to protect natural resources and represent the diversity of environments found within a region. Unfortunately, many systems of protected areas do not proportionally capture the range of environmental conditions occupied by species and communities. Combinations of habitat loss and climate change may exacerbate these representational biases, and result in future distributions of environmental conditions that bare little resemblance to historic patterns. New protected areas need to be established to correct existing biases, and create conservation networks that remain representative despite climate change, habitat loss, and changes in species distributions. We demonstrate a new method to identify and prioritize habitat based on its value for improving bioclimatic representation. We assessed representation provided by existing protected areas for 301 Proteaceae species under historic and projected 2050 climate across the Cape Floristic Region in South Africa. The existing reserve system has relatively modest biases with respect to current species distributions and climate. However, if the system is not supplemented, protected areas in 2050 will capture an increasingly skewed sample of climatic conditions occupied by Proteaceae. These biases can be repaired through the systematic establishment of new protected areas, and many of the most valuable areas coincide with high priority ecosystem components and irreplaceable elements identified in the Cape Action for People and the Environmental conservation plan. Protecting these areas achieves nearly the best possible improvement in climatic representation while also meeting biodiversity representation goals.

Helpful.......2005-08-01

I found this book to be very helpful overall. It gave lots of details and little things that most tourists might not have looked for. Its only lacking was that some of the 'daytrips' didn't have a lot of detail or maps.

Great book to take with you on your trip.......2005-05-03

I recently went to London for a week and I took this book with me. I don't know what I would have done without it. It's full of great info from cover to cover and well organized. It was almost like having my own personal tour guide!

If You Buy Only One Tour Book For London..........2005-01-04

I've perused dozens of travel books on Great Britain and London in particular. I especially like the "Eyewitness" books by DK but the "Let's Go 2005" is hands down the most inclusive, user-friendly book I've found. I've actually read it from cover to cover because it's so useful. The maps are helpful but the best parts are the descriptions of hotels/sights/restaurants. I really appreciate the web addresses provided for most of the items (so I could access the sites to see what exhibits will be in the museums, check out restaurant's menus, etc.) This is the book I'm taking with me to London next month.

Book Description

Menagerie Manor is sure to delight fans of Durrell's beloved classic My Family and Other Animals and other accounts of his lifelong fascination with members of the animal kingdom. With his unfailing charm, Durrell tells the story of how he finally fulfilled his childhood dream of founding his own private zoo, the Manor of Les Augres, on the English Channel island of Jersey. With the help of an enduring wife, a selfless staff, and a reluctant bank manager, the zoo grows, and readers are treated to a colorful parade of the zoo's unusual animal inhabitants.

Customer Reviews:

A zoo with a difference.......2005-07-27

Unlike most other Durrel books which speak of his expeditions to study and work with animals, this one talks of him setting up his own zoo in the Channel island of Jersey. This book overturns a stereotype of the zoo as a humourless place with unhappy animals in poor conditions, at least for Durrell's zoo.

Much of the book deals with the characters he has become fond of - the "celebrity" animals in the zoo and the laughter and tears they have caused. It also speaks of the relationship between the zoo and the Jersey community - the initial reluctance followed by an outpouring of support. It also details many incidents that have occurred in the zoo, whether hilarious or touching.

A great read for all who love animals, as the author's attachment to them is felt in every page - as well as a testimony to what zoos can be within the scientific/community/ecological and environmental scale of things.

A great read!.......1999-02-18

This is a great book for all those who have a special place in their hearts for animals. Gerald Durrell takes us through his experiences in setting up a zoo in Jersey. It is a marvelous book full of humor. It sends out a message about saving wildlife. So, even if you are not the one to start a zoo, this book is a must read for you!

The Exact Type of Gardening Book I Needed!.......2000-04-14

I was so pleased to find this book. I am a beginning gardener, and I wanted to find out about all kinds of landscaping ideas and plants. This book has beautiful color photos of different ornamental grasses and groundcovers, one area I am interested in. It also includes a detailed description of each, and important information about climate, growing guidelines, height, and spread. Armed with the information in this book, I can now visit my local garden center knowing exactly what I want for my yard.

This book is especially attractive to me because of the way in which the material is presented. It is easy to browse and appealing to the eye. I found myself sitting for hours looking through the book to determine what types of grasses and groundcovers appealed to me the most. I have not found any other garden books which present their material in such a user-friendly manner. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in starting or enhancing their garden and landscape.

Book Description

The World Survey of Islamic Manuscripts is a collective bibliographical work, which brings together the work of manuscript scholars, both Muslim and non-Muslim, from all corners of the world, in a rich collaboration to enhance our knowledge of the written heritage of the Islamic civilization. The Al-Furqan Survey seeks to fill the gaps left by previous bibliographies and similar works, and at the same time to bring together and update most of the information contained in them. The Survey aims to provide the reader with a guide to collections of Islamic manuscripts, details of access to these collections and their holdings, and also information about particularly significant manuscripts which they contain. The Al-Furqan Survey is the first ever attempt to account for all Islamic languages in over 90 countries of the world. It also seeks to provide detailed information for all holdings, thereby filling a lacuna for collections not as yet catalogued and even for many catalogued collections where the work has remained incomplete.

Book Description

Originally published in 1955, As Far as My Feet Will Carry Me has seen international success ever since. It has been translated into fifteen languages, sold more than 12 million copies, and is the basis for an award-winning German entry at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival. Recounting an incredible real-life adventure, it tracks the destiny of German soldier Clemens Forrell who, in the aftermath of WWII, was sentenced to twenty-five years of forced labor in a lead mine in the barren eastern reaches of Siberia. Subjected to the brutality of the camp and the climate, Forrell dreamed continuously of escape—and then daringly effected it. From East Cape across the vast trackless wastes of Siberia, for thousands of miles and three years, with fear as his most intimate companion, Forrell fled treachery and endured some of the most inhospitable conditions on earth. In a long series of taped interviews with esteemed German author Josef M. Bauer, Forrell unfolded his remarkable story of survival. Bauer not only reconstructs Forrell’s arduous journey to the Iranian frontier and freedom; he also poignantly evokes the emotional content of Forrell’s brave quest—emerging as an affecting portrait of a man who strove and triumphed against all odds.

Don't even think of buying this junk.......2007-09-22

I was very, very dissapointed with this book. After having read the amazing story of Theodor Kröger (a German who survived not only the Tsarist prisons but also the communist gulags) I wanted more of this and so I ordered this book. But what I got was a kind of telegram-style book with so much ommisions in the story, that you wonder why did somebody write it at all. If you can't get the story right, then don't tell it. Also, this is supposed to be a non-fiction story, but the dialogues between the lead character and his captors and/or fellow-prisoners are put on paper like they were held yesterday. If you're looking for a Papillon story, you better look somewhere else. I didn't even finish the book, it was a waste of my time.

a wild ride.......2007-07-26

I found this book to be inspiring and motivational. It is the amazing tale of a daring escape and a treacherous journey across the frozen Siberian north. They only thing that disappointed me was that the ending was anti-climactic in my opinion. Just a simply amazing book, there is a reason why it has been translated in to 15 languages and sold more then 12 millon copies.

Amazing .......2007-05-07

All the superlatives belong to this tale: remarkable, daring, unbelievable, amazing, incredible, beyond belief, extraordinary. That a person could 1. escape from a Soviet labor camp, 2. in the dead of winter, 3. from the farthest eastern point of Siberia, 4. after suffering from hunger and brutal treatment for three years, and still 5. make it home to Germany safely after another three years is a story for all lovers of survival dramas. The author expertly and faithfully chronicles Josef Bauer's account without glossing over the details of what it took to survive. I didn't come to like Mr. Bauer from this telling, however, I did feel a deep respect for his perseverance and stamina. Two other books of escape and survival that I recommend even more highly are: The Long Walk: The True Story of a Trek to Freedom by Slavomir Rawicz and We Die Alone: A WWII Epic of Escape and Endurance by David Howarth.

As Far as my Feet will Carry me.......2007-01-29

Incredible story of survival and the will to live.

This book was excellent, I couldn't put it down........2006-04-28

As for the other half negative reviews, like it being for a young reader, don't pay any attention to that. Obviously those reviews are written by people that can't look or think beyond their own egos nor actually try to imagine what it must have been like, what the permanent affects were after such an altering event, and obvious emotional scars that must have continued on and on... After I finished the book, I re-read the preface and understood why there seemed to be pieces "I" wanted answers to, but understood why they weren't there.

I recommend this book to anyone of all ages. It's absolutely an amazing account of someone accomplishing a journey home with EVERYTHING against him and the beckoning door of death at every turn. How he survived? It's beyond me....

Now, I will hunt for the DVD....if anyone knows where I can find the DVD, please find a way of letting me know. Thanks!

Interesting addition to O'Malley's writings........2001-07-10

This book is a collection of letters written by O'Malley after he had been shot (17 times) and lay convalescing and inprisoned in Kilmainham Gaol, during the Irish Civil War. Devoutly Anti-Treaty, O'Malley was perhaps the most articulate and thought-provoking writer the Wars produced. Although "The Singing Flame" and "On Another Man's Wounds" are better, this collection augments the information O'Malley has already left us and through letter writing, reveals more about O'Malley. Definitely worth getting.
