Book Description
Este libro justifica las razones que sustentan el uso de métodos estadísticos vislumbrados como una forma de presentar e interpretar grandes volúmenes de información de forma resumida y con validez científica. Además, explica que la naturaleza de las observaciones es estocástica en la mayoría de las ciencias observacionales, y están sujetas a errores accidentales provenientes de los métodos de observación o de la inexactitud de los instrumentos de medida. La sustentabilidad se fundamenta en la práctica para lograr un equilibrio social, económico y ambiental que se sostenga en el tiempo y a la vez genere una alta calidad de vida para las personas. Por tal motivo se creó la necesidad de elaborar un texto que contemple el ámbito de la sustentabilidad en vista de los grandes cambios que está experimentando el planeta, considerando que la estadística permite obtener indicadores muy relevantes para su estudio.

Book Description
Estadística ambiental en México estudia los avances, así como los vacíos, brechas y deficiencias en la calidad de dicha estadística, a la vez que plantea propuestas de mejora, considerando los marcos conceptuales y metodológicos de organismos internacionales, la infraestructura y capacidad técnica nacional y las experiencias de otros países. Las mayores aportaciones de esta obra tratan sobre la maduración de la estadística ambiental, los marcos ordenadores, las metodologías de medición, el dato ambiental y su uso, y estrategias para el desarrollo del sistema estadístico ambiental. Esta compilación, hasta ahora inédita, trata de llenar un vacío en el conocimiento y la toma de decisiones en esta temática de alta prioridad económica, social y política. La obra también puede ser de gran valor para los estudiosos de los sistemas estadístico y el desarrollo sustentable en las diversas esferas de la sociedad.

Book Description
This book explores the interactions of local inhabitants and environmental systems in the Protected Natural Areas of Mexico. Its goal is to help understand how social groups contextualize ecological knowledge, how human activities contribute to modifying the environmental matrix, how cultural and economic aspects influence the use, management and conservation of their ecological environment, and how social phenomena are to be viewed against the backdrop of ecological knowledge. The book reviews the epistemological and historical bases of the socio-ecological relationship, and addresses the evolution of human-natural systems. From a methodological standpoint, it assesses the tools required for the integration of “human” and “natural” dimensions in the management of the environmental matrix. Further, in the case studies section, it reviews valuable recent experiences concerning the retro-interactions of local inhabitants with their environmental matrix. Given its scope, the book offers a valuable asset for researchers and professionals all over the world, especially those working in Latin American countries.

Book Description
The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.

Book Description
4% of Latin America and the Caribbean’s GDP comes from the extractive sector. This figure is equivalent to the amount generated by agriculture in the same region. An effective engagement between governments, companies, and civil society is required to propel sustainable development. With this regional diagnosis of countries rich in natural resources like Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, and the Dominican Republic, the IDB seeks to shed light on best practices among stakeholders of the extractive sectors. It focuses in actions of information, dialogues, consultations, collaborations, and partnerships that are driving development in the region. From the findings of the diagnosis, 3 roadmaps were drafted, to guide the stakeholders in strengthening their engagement.

Book Description
Artificial or constructed wetlands are an emerging technology particularly for tropical areas with water scarcity. For big cities, the sustainable management of water resources taking into account proper use is always challenging. The book presents case studies illustrating the above. As plants and microorganisms are a fundamental part of the correct functioning of these systems, their contribution to the degradation of the organic matter and to the removal and transformation of the pollutant compounds present in the wastewaters is also a highlight of this book.
