Public sector perspectives and policy implications for the Pitons Management Area World Heritage Site,St. Lucia

St. Lucia faces numerous challenges associated with striking a balance between its economic and conservation goals with respect to the Pitons Management Area (PMA) World Heritage Site. Among the various stakeholders, the public sector, which largely constitutes the administrative authorities representing the general public, plays an instrumental role in site management. They are primarily responsible for policy formulation as well as the provision of fiscal incentives and funds to assist in the maintenance of the site. Based on a qualitative inquiry approach, this study explored the perspectives of key persons among pertinent public and non-profit organizations. Semi-structured interviews were conducted among local and national representatives from the public sector. Results revealed that the designation of the PMA as a World Heritage Site has presented both opportunities and challenges to the management of the site. Findings strongly indicate that the integrity and sustainability of the site is at stake due to a lack of commitment, coordination and political will in the public sector.

Ken Burns and American Mythology in The National Parks: America's Best Idea

Ken Burns' series on the national parks reveals the evolving values of the American nation, particularly in relation to nature. Through both the beauty and the history of these set apart spaces, Burns presents and to some extent critiques America's mythic dreams of nature. Nature as new world garden and as frontier shapes the story that is told. This essay focuses on two themes, science and pluralism, and argues the presentation of each (the former with less depth, the latter with more) is constrained by the mythic narrative of pristine America that seems unable to evolve, either in the face of ecological values of interrelationships or pluralistic values that re-shape understandings of democracy. More attention to the problematic of the notion of preservation of pristine America would have enabled the film to speak more powerfully not only of the history of the parks, but also of their future.     

世界银行贷款项目中的滇池流域工业污染控制

世界银行贷款项目对滇池流域重点工业污染源控制十分重视，把其列为贷款的重点。本文在对大量基础资料分析研究的基础上，通过对滇池流域重点工业污染源的深入研究，就其治理工艺、技术进行了深入的探讨，提出了一套完整而合适的控制方案，通过实施本项目，可以在相当程度上控制住排入滇池的工业污染物，从而为改善滇池水质作出巨大的贡献。     

Private participation in isolated grids in Mozambique

This article presents a case study from Mozambique of the electrification of two selected towns under a World Bank financed project. Low-cost electricity services were extended to the two isolated areas after an enabling framework had been created for private sector participation. The World Bank project also demonstrates that the private sector can be attracted to participate in rural electrification schemes even in a poor country. The example shown in this article is one of the few of its kind in SubSaharan Africa.

基于多源观测资料的海峡西岸城市春季颗粒物污染研究

以海西区沿海城市为研究对象,重点分析了厦门地区2017年春季大气颗粒物污染过程中边界层要素演变及颗粒物水平和垂直分布特征,并利用地面观测数据、气溶胶激光雷达、卫星遥感分析等多源观测资料,探讨了3月1—2日颗粒物污染过程.研究表明,海西区颗粒物污染过程中,暖区条件下静稳小风和高温高湿条件有利于局地细颗粒物的吸湿增长,细颗粒物占比较高,而在受冷锋南下影响下东北大风和高湿条件下,粗颗粒占比较高;海西区沿海各城市的细颗粒污染趋势基本一致,而粗颗粒污染峰值在沿海城市由北向南依次出现,表现出显著的向南传输的特征;海西区细颗粒污染主要集中在近地面层,受人为源排放累积影响,粗颗粒则是由外源输入,并沉降至近地面附近;冷空气南下过程中,在由锋前暖区的静稳条件向冷锋过境转变时,气溶胶污染由局地累积向区域传输转变,颗粒物尺度也从细颗粒物转变为粗颗粒物.海西区空气总体较为清洁,在污染相对较小条件下,颗粒物污染是通过多来源、多尺度的污染物造成的,是受细颗粒局地源产生和输送及外源粗颗粒物的输入和沉降共同影响的.
