A Ditadura Militar e a Governança da Água no Brasil (The Military Dictatorship and Water Governance in Brazil) Ideologia Poderes Político-E

A Ditadura Militar e a Governança da Água no Brasil (The Military Dictatorship and Water Governance in Brazil) Ideologia Poderes Político-E

In recent decades there has been an exponential increase in large hydroelectric plants in Brazil especially in the Amazon region. These large hydraulic structures impact the environment and the lives of people living in the places where they settle and require a special type of water governance. The dictatorial regime (1964-1985) created a standard for the construction of these great structures through an institutional and legal framework which benefited the Brazilian business elite but also through the creation of a popular imagination which shows itself lasting progress on the country's progress and development. The suspension of security the fragility of institutional environmental structures the disrespect for indigenous reserves the lack of clarity about the concept of affected population and the non-payment of fair compensation were identified as one of the main challenges for a democratic water governance in the country. In the late 1970s the Dam-Affected Movement (MAB) began its organization and is also studied in this research. The study is an important and insightful academic contribution to the understanding of the main bottlenecks of effective water governance in Brazil. | A Ditadura Militar e a Governança da Água no Brasil (The Military Dictatorship and Water Governance in Brazil) Ideologia Poderes Político-E

Minorities in Shark Sciences Diverse Voices in Shark Research

Minorities in Shark Sciences Diverse Voices in Shark Research

Minorities in Shark Sciences showcases the work done by Black Indigenous and People of Color around the world in the fields of shark science and conservation. Edited by three minority researchers it provides positive role models for the next generation. Highlighting new and important research done in the fields of biology ecology and evolution the book places emphasis on scientists with diverse backgrounds and expertise from around the world. The heart of this book is that community and minority voices are important (and have always been) to science regardless of diplomas/universities/accolades/western standards of academia. Despite the use of the term ‘Minorities’ most of the world’s population do not identify as white nor male and in fact all minorities together comprise the global majority of humans. For those in these historically underserved and underrepresented demographics it is meaningful to be highlighted and be given credit for their contributions. This book showcases to the world the many Black Indigenous People of Color and LGTBQ+ scientists leading marine conservation both in terms of scientific research and science communication. It has been shown in the literature that diversity in scientists creates diversity in thought which leads to innovation. Strong minority voices are exactly what is needed to bring greater attention to the conservation of sharks and this book illustrates innovative science by people who were historically excluded from STEM. It highlights the unique perspectives these scientists bring to their field that allow them to interact with stakeholders particularly in the areas of conservation and outreach. As we continue to amplify these often-forgotten voices through research outreach and engagement we hope to stimulate innovation and transformative change in the field of shark conservation and marine science. | Minorities in Shark Sciences Diverse Voices in Shark Research
