            <description><![CDATA[The challenges of deforestation, climate change and poverty are inextricably linked. Maintenance of forest resources, particularly tropical forests in developing countries, presents a quick win for climate change policy makers through promoting low carbon development.  Not converting forests to agricultural or other uses not only acts to limit carbon emissions, but also mitigates by absorbing carbon dioxide.  Enlightened governments now see retaining forests as a value resource, which secures [...]<br><a href='http://www.mondoeco.ch/eng/cat/24/222/2012-02-10/home/the-destiny-of-forest-resources.html' target='_blank'><img src='http://www.mondoeco.ch/images/articoli/tn/222.png'></a>]]></description>

Regeneration can take hundreds of years and sites may never reach the quality of the original wetlands, a study shows.
Study co-author, David Moreno-Mateos, a postdoctoral fellow from the University of California, Berkeley, explains, "Once you degrade a wetland, it doesn't recover its normal assemblage of plants or its rich stores of organic soil carbon, which both affect natural cycles of water and [...]<br><a href='http://www.mondoeco.ch/eng/cat/24/214/2012-01-28/home/restored-wetlands.html' target='_blank'><img src='http://www.mondoeco.ch/images/articoli/tn/214.png'></a>]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Europe&rsquo;s &ldquo;safety net for nature&rdquo; has grown further with a major extension of the EU&rsquo;s Natura 2000 network of specially protected sites. Of the 769 sites covering an area of 95,522 km2 -- an area larger than all of Austria -- officially added by the European Commission in December 2008, most are in Romania and Bulgaria. Romania has added 316 sites covering an area of 17.84% of the country&rsquo;s landmass, while Bulgaria has added 252 sites, covering almost 30% of the [...]<br><a href='http://www.mondoeco.ch/eng/cat/24/64/2011-02-08/home/natura-2000-in-bulgaria-and-romania.html' target='_blank'><img src='http://www.mondoeco.ch/images/articoli/tn/64.jpg'></a>]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Hungary is situated in the middle of the Europe, surrounded by the Carpathian Mountains. Due to the influence of diverse geological formations and various climatic effects, an extremely rich biodiversity can be found here. There are more than 42,000 animal and more than 2,200 plant species, including a high number of endemic species.
The abundant biodiversity of Hungary will greatly enrich the natural heritage of the EU, the main aim of the NATURA 2000 network. It will also provide a [...]<br><a href='http://www.mondoeco.ch/eng/cat/24/65/2011-02-08/home/biodiversity-in-hungary.html' target='_blank'><img src='http://www.mondoeco.ch/images/articoli/tn/65.jpg'></a>]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Green Theatre goes by many names.  It is called ecological theatre or ecotheatre, sustainable theatre, environmental theatre or even recycled theatre. Each term can refer to either the practice of producing plays that educate and promote ecology, or it can refer to sustainable and ecological practices that go into the making, of any production. The discussion on this site primarily concerns the latter definition, but feel free to discuss ecologically oriented dramatic literature or ecodrama in [...]<br><a href='http://www.mondoeco.ch/eng/cat/24/57/2011-01-29/home/the-green-theatre.html' target='_blank'><img src='http://www.mondoeco.ch/images/articoli/tn/57.jpg'></a>]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[In a general sense, it is art that helps improve our relationship with the natural world. There is no definition set in stone. This living worldwide movement is growing and changing as you read this.
Much environmental art is ephemeral (made to disappear or transform), designed for a particular place (and can't be moved) or involves collaborations between artists and others, such as scientists, educators or community groups (distributed ownership). These variables can make exhibiting this work [...]<br><a href='http://www.mondoeco.ch/eng/cat/24/58/2011-01-29/home/what-is-environmental-art-.html' target='_blank'><img src='http://www.mondoeco.ch/images/articoli/tn/58.jpg'></a>]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The Green Museums Initiative examines the role of museums and sustainability as a practice that cross-pollinates efforts between programs, services, operations and facilities.
Sustainability starts with the questions we ask ourselves: How do we choose to live and work? What will we leave behind? How does what we do affect our community, our neighborhood, our families and on our planet?
Then, ask some practical questions: Do we need this? Where did this come from and how was it produced?

            <description><![CDATA[Currently, mass tourism is one of the main causes behind ecological loss in the region. Mediterranean coastal areas, which receive 30% of international tourist arrivals, are already seriously damaged. Some locations which were once pristine are now beyond repair.
We aim at protecting nature from the negative impacts of mass tourism and at promoting models of responsible tourism in the most important areas for nature.

Due to its specific geographical, climatic and oceanographic features, the Baltic Sea is highly sensitive to human activities which are taking place both at sea and in its catchment area, which is home to some 85 [...]<br><a href='http://www.mondoeco.ch/eng/cat/24/55/2011-01-28/home/baltic-sea-ecosystems.html' target='_blank'><img src='http://www.mondoeco.ch/images/articoli/tn/55.jpg'></a>]]></description>
