River Sile Natural Park Case Study
What did you choose to cover? Please list the main link to the park/reserve/organization.
There are several projects, organizations, and parks related to protecting biodiversity that I had intended to write about; however, having visited the beautiful city of Treviso, and spending some period there, I felt it is essential to write about the Parco Naturale Regionale del Fiume Sile which is translated into English as (River Sile Natural Regional Park). The website link to the park is http://www.parcosile.it/Eindex.php.
Where is it located?
The River Sile Regional Natural Park is located in the city of Treviso, in the province of Padua in Italy. The park lies between eleven municipalities and occupies 4152 hectares (16 sq. miles). Additionally, the Park has various springs. One of such spring is in Casacorba di Vedelago while another is in Torreselle di Piombino Dese. These springs are the sources of Italy’s longest resurgence river (Parco Fiume Sile, n.d.).
What is its mission?
The mission of the River Sile Regional Natural Park as specified in art 2, clause 1of the Regional Law of 1991 indicates that the Park is out to protect the soil and subsoil, flora, fauna and water; enhance the drainage basin as a source of drinking water, safeguard, maintain, restore, enhance, and promote the natural, historical and …show more content…
In 2013, the Park embarks on a project of assessment of biodiversity of various species in order to effectively protect them from abuse. And recently, the River Sile Regional Natural Park began a project on the eco sustainability of various species. This project is intended towards educating people, including tourist and non-tourist on the benefits of protecting and preserving the earth’s natural resources. Apparently, this project indirectly enables the Park to extend its eco-sustainability culture to other regions and countries through the education of these people (Parco Fiume Sile,

    Borth Coastal Defences

    There are many human and physical interests at Borth. Borth has a sandy beach and is a popular holiday seaside resort. There is a youth hostel in the village and caravan and camping sites. It is also the location of the Borth Animalarium. The wide beaches, attractive scenery and access to water make this a very popular and important holiday destination. Much of the local economy is based on tourism, therefore it is important that it’s protection from coastal processes and flooding should be continued, because if its protection is stopped Borth will suffer the effects of coastal erosion and frequent flooding, which will damage the tourism industry in the area as shops and attractions will be damaged in floods or swept out into the sea by coastal erosion, which would be very detrimental as tourism is one of the main industries in the area and many of the local people rely on tourism as their income. Some of the physical interests at Borth include Cors Fochno, a raised peat mire which is part of the only UNESCO biosphere reserve in Wales. It is the most intact lowland raised bog in Europe and we can tell its national, European and international importance for conservation from its multiple designations such as Special Area of Conservation, Special Protection Area, Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, National Nature Reserve and Site of Specific Scientific Interest. Also an ancient submerged forest is visible at low tide along the beach, where stumps of oak, pine, birch, willow and hazel can be seen. Also the Ynyslas sand dunes are part of the Dyfi National Reserve which is one of the only 234 national nature reserves in the UK. It is important that protection from coastal processes and flooding is continued otherwise all these unique and interesting physical features will be taken by the sea.…

    Observation Of Smale Riverfront Park

    Through observation on any given day, Steven believes that Smale Riverfront Park does in fact show a diverse mix of users, from all age groups. The park was created in such a way that it offers people a variety of uses, including swings, picnic areas, walking/biking trails, and playgrounds; one’s built for kids in mind and others for an older population. However more can be done to better meet everyone’s needs. For instances activities could be organized on a weekly basis to not only get more people involved but to also better meet the needs of the entire population. Such activities can include workout classes, sports, movie nights, and so forth. This park according to Steven does play a role as a tourist attraction. Naturally people are drawn to spaces that offer scenic views, somewhere they can relax, and to something that offers amenities that will keep them busy. Smale Riverfront Park was designed in such a way to offer all these aspects and make all feel welcome. Tourists and residents alike are drawn to this park because it’s in walking distance from hotels and places of work, it offers parking, has a variety of activities, and it is a pretty accessible space. Not only does the park attract interaction during the day time but it also draws crowds during the night time as well. The colorful waterfalls the Schmidlapp stage, and the many restaurants and bars nearby make the space inviting during all times of day.…

    With its vast amount of wildlife and stunning shrubbery, it’s no wonder Monteverde is a tourism hotspot. Still, the people of Monteverde respect this delicate ecosystem all the same. Through establishing ecotourism in a protected reserve, the people of Monteverde have saved a large part of the forest that may have been torn down to make way for coffee farms and cattle. The donations and entry fee required to enter the preserve support multiple non-profit schools, like The Children’s Eternal Rainforest, that teaches children about the environment and how to respect the fragile ecosystem.…

    Name Zonghui Ye ID 201062753 Titile Book Review of A Sand County Almanac and Sketches Here and There By Aldo Leopold

    The first part of the book mainly describes attractive natural landscapes and wildlife in Sand County and its changes within twelve months. Author attempts to remind public of the impressive memory for wildlife when society paid most of attention on economic development and industrial process, while nature is gradually segregated from human lives. It is also revealed by Barton et al. (2003) that declining species in rural and urban areas result in the segregation of human beings and wildlife. Besides, species richness is observed to decrease with the shortening distance from city core (McKinney, 2002). Furthermore, the book also indicates fact that human are able to gain benefits from biodiversity not only by developing its economic value which is physical, but also entertainment in mental aspects (187). This perspective is intelligent to discover the potential value of various wildlife, because biodiversity is significant to the process of ecosystem due to valuable species and genetic resources, and it is also of high value by its ecological services, which contain esthetic and recreation except from economic values (Alho, 2008). Barton et al. (2003) also demonstrate the…

    Human Nature Relationships and How They Contribute to Sustainability

    We as humans have an important role to play when confronted with an issue which is in any way concerned with our relationship to nature. Although we coexist on this planet with numerous other species of life, ours is the only one whose decisions can potentially have a significant influence on the status quo of the delicate system that is Earth. Our attitudes and connections towards nature are important because they directly affect how we will realize the goal of sustainability. Nonetheless, in order to begin this task we must first ascertain what it is exactly that we are working with. The words ‘nature’ and ‘sustainability’ are often used but rarely defined, therefore an interdisciplinary approach is required to provide a working definition of these terms, because we will not know whether we have achieved our goal if we never truly understood what it was.…

    Traditional Ecological Knowledge

    “TEK has a strong potential to contribute to more effective and sustainable approaches to forest management in particular and natural resources management in general (Menzies, 2).” To contribute to this approach, it is important that TEK has strong attributes. For instance, TEK is locally developed, which gives specific details to demonstrate sustainability in differing yet specific locales. In these differing locales, indigenous people have experienced and observed different plants and animals flourish, as well as understanding and gaining knowledge on why they flourish. Thus, TEK gives information on how to specifically manage and conserve the land so that plant and animal flourishing is possible in a specific place.…
