This book is a compilation of recent developments in land,
ecosystem, and water management in the Brazilian state of Rio de
Janeiro. The state is located in the biodiversity hotspot of the
Atlantic Forest (Mata Atlantica), a biome characterized by high
biological diversity and endemism. At the same time the state of
Rio de Janeiro emerged to one of the economic hubs in Latin
America. This development process has been accompanied by
population growth, industrialization, urbanization, as well as
consumption and degradation of land and water resources. In the
past years many efforts have been made to stop or at least slow
down these degradation processes and restore degraded environments
with the overall goal to bring together sustainable management of
natural resources, nature conservation, and economic development.
An overview is provided of the different strategies and tools that
have been developed in the fields of agriculture, ecosystem
management and biodiversity, integrated water management, land
restoration, disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation,
as well as environmental governance and economic instruments. This
book covers a wide spectrum from applied research to science-policy
interfaces, planning concepts, and technical tools and has a model
character for other rural areas in Latin America. Target groups are
scientists, practitioners, policy makers and graduate students in
the field of environmental management. The different chapters are
written by researchers and practitioners of the German-Brazilian
project INTECRAL (Integrated Eco Technologies and Services for a
Sustainable Rural Rio de Janeiro), the rural development program
Rio Rural under the state secretary for agriculture and animal
husbandry, as well as invited scientists from Brazilian
universities and research institutes. It bridges existing gaps
between science, policies, and practice in rural development.
