Through a comprehensive and collaborative approach, we highlight the importance of understanding the social, cultural and historical contexts in which these conflicts occur. Introduction: We aim to critically analyze the management challenges of State Parks in Brazil, with a specific focus on conflicts with the surrounding population. Methods: This opinion article is based on the existing literature to analyze the constant conflicts in the management of State Parks in Brazil. We explore factors that contribute to these conflicts, such as differing interests, values and expectations. Results: Our analysis highlights the complexities of conflicts between park managers and local communities in Brazil. We present practical strategies for dealing with these conflicts, such as participatory decision-making processes, training staff and local communities, and strengthening partnerships between park managers and local stakeholders. In this way, we identify possible solutions to resolve these conflicts and promote sustainable and effective conservation practices. Conclusions: The management of State Parks in Brazil requires a differentiated understanding of the social, cultural and historical context in which these parks are inserted. We propose that incorporating participatory decision-making processes, empowering park staff and local communities, and strengthening partnerships can facilitate effective conflict resolution and sustainable conservation practices. Our findings have implications for protected area management around the world and highlight the need for further research in this area.","PeriodicalId":140386,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Sciences and Ecology: Current Research (ESECR","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126769887","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study followed the descriptive analytical approach using three study tools for data collection; a questionnaire, interviews, and focus groups. The study population was targeted based on Census Method using a questionnaire distributed to 123 employees; including school headmasters, health school coordinators, and environmental clubs’ teachers; working at 50 public schools distributed across the seven educational directorates in the southern Palestinian governorates. Only 105 questionnaires were recovered. The response rate of the study was (85.37%). Also, interviews were held with middle and senior management employees working at the Ministry of Education and Water & Environmental Quality Authority. Two focus groups of male and female students from grades 7-11 at two different educational directorates were met with. The study showed the importance of education in improving environmental awareness and conserving the environment through educational and awareness programs. The study’s foremost important results are that the three educational programs (Environmentally Sustainable Schools, Environmental Occasions’ revival, and Green Spaces), held at fifty schools in the seven educational directorates, contribute to enhancing environmental conservation in the southern Palestinian governorates but not to the required extent due to many challenges facing the implementation of educational programs. Eventually, the study recommends the incorporation of environmental education into the Palestinian curriculum of at every grade level, developing the implementation of extracurricular environmental conservation activities, conducting environmental awareness sessions for the local community and parents, allocating a specific budget for education/environmental programs, activate the environmental media, and developing a unified system for monitoring and evaluating the schools’ educational and awareness programs.","PeriodicalId":140386,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Sciences and Ecology: Current Research (ESECR","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125613059","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mitigation and adaptation alone are not sufficient to address the loss and damage that vulnerable communities incur which is why the last year at COP 27, the decade-long demand for loss and damage funding was the centerpiece at the negotiation table. Now one might question why is it important now? And climate induced loss and damage was there since inception, why wasn’t this never prioritized or treated as a burning issue? Well to answer that we might have to revisit our COP memories and take a look back on the crucial decisions made over the last 30 years.","PeriodicalId":140386,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Sciences and Ecology: Current Research (ESECR","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131959676","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both species of crabs, due to their sizes and abundance, represent an economic and nutritional interest for coastal fishermen in northwestern Mexico. At present, there is no fishing regulation on these resources and it is necessary and urgent to take regulatory measures of their population status of these crabs, which are constantly captured by fishermen but without biological or administrative control by te authorities responsable for their management fishing in this area.","PeriodicalId":140386,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Sciences and Ecology: Current Research (ESECR","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130987859","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
