RÉSUMÉ. Dans le contexte de l'aménagement forestier communautaire, il y a lieu de faire des travaux de recherche pour aider les gestionnaires des ressources forestières et les habitants des collectivités qui donnent le ton à l'aménagement forestier à tenir compte du changement climatique lorsqu'ils prennent des décisions. La nécessité de faire des recherches spécifiques à la lumière du changement climatique dans le but d'appuyer la mise en oeuvre du plan d'aménagement forestier du territoire traditionnel des Premières nations de Champagne et d'Aishihik, dans le sud-ouest du Yukon, est ressortie : 1) de séances avec des spécialistes en aménagement forestier de la région et 2) d'un atelier communautaire sur le changement...

A high proportion of global coverage by protected areas is composed of relatively few very large protected areas (vLPAs); it is therefore important to understand their contribution to biological conservation. Here, using fresh analyses and a review of literature, we examine five particular contentions about existing terrestrial vLPAs: that they (1) are highly biased in environmental coverage, (2) contain low numbers of overall and rare species, (3) make limited contributions toward meeting global conservation prioritization schemes, (4) contain substantial areas of wilderness, and (5) are relatively immune to threatening processes. These contentions are generally supported. The principal contribution of vLPAs is...

Community Conservation Plans and annual screening reports on development proejcts for the Inuvialuit Settlement Regions.
I examined ecosystem management (EM) using questionnaires from 46 state and territorial wildlife agencies and interviews in 11 states. Political culture, agency traditions, and other bureaucratic factors were examined to seek differences in wildlife conservation practices within organizations and to determine which influenced EM adoption. Twenty-two of 46 states claimed to be using EM; most adopted it in the early to middle 1990s. Socioeconomic and political factors (14 potentially affecting agency operations and 18 presumed to influence EM adoption) could not be linked to EM adoption. There was no correlation between state political culture or state ideology and EM. Although the importance of state natural heritage...
Abstract: We present 27-year results from a comparison of clear-cutting and shelterwood harvesting in the boreal forest of Alaska. Three patch clear-cut and three shelterwood units were harvested in 1972; about 100 dispersed white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss) leave trees per hectare were retained in the shelterwoods. Units were mechanically scarified and an exceptionally large seed-crop was dispersed that year. Shelterwood trees were removed after 15 years. After 27 years, overstory treatment had no effect on the density or growth of the species we studied, while scarification had highly significant effects. In 1999, scarified areas were densely populated with white spruce seedlings and saplings (118 000...
The AMAP Strategic Plan presents an overall strategy of collaborative actions involving the AMAP member countries and permanent participants, observing countries and observing organizations to meet the Ministerial requests. The aim of the Strategic Plan is to set a framework for implementing practical activities within AMAP.
