Natural Resource Management and Local Development
Natural resource management by rural citizens in tropical regions is crucial both to the conservation of biodiversity and ecosystem processes, but also to the the well-being and food security of the people that live there.This situation is especially acute in Africa where conflicts between habitat destruction and utilization can arise in areas which are important not only for biodiversity but for the long-term maintenance of ecosystems on which the people ultimately rely.There can also be conflicts between outside specialists and the indigenous knowledge of local communities.A holistic approach involving local peoples in management of their natural resources is therefore essential.A range of approaches to the problem is explored here in relation to natural resource management to local development and livelihoods, and the multi-functional nature of land-use.Major topics debated are the dichotomy between strictly protected areas and ones including human activity, people-centred rather than legally enforced conservation, market forces, and the interrelationships between agriculture and conservation. The book has 12 chapters, prepared by researchers actively involved in community aspects of natural resource management in Africa, and is based on an international workshop held in Niamey, Niger, in 2008.It will be of interest to all involved in the community approach to biodiversity conservation in less developed countries generally and not only in Africa as many of the issues addressed are pertinent globally. Reprinted from Biodiversity and Conservation 18: 10 (2009).

Entrepreneurship focuses on identifying and pursuing opportunities to create new ventures or innovate within existing organizations.

What are local extrema?
Local extrema are points on a graph where a function reaches a maximum or minimum value within a specific interval. A local maximum is the highest point in a small neighborhood of a function, while a local minimum is the lowest point in that neighborhood. These points are called "local" because they may not be the absolute highest or lowest points of the entire function, but rather within a limited range.

Innovation–Development Detours for Latecomers : Managing Global-Local Interfaces in the De-Globalization Era
Many developing countries still face difficulties initiating and sustaining economic development.Such difficulties have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in an increasing divergence between rich and poor countries.One crucial question is whether to follow the trajectories of present-day rich countries or seek out different, new trajectories.Although this is a fundamental question, scholars offering mainstream prescriptions have not sufficiently explored it.Drawing on extensive empirical studies of firms and industries, Innovation and Development Detours for Latecomers proposes an effective alternative to prevailing development thinking.It presents a rich menu of development pathways, including a new role for Schumpeterian states whereby they do not follow the paths of technological development already taken by advanced countries.Rather, they can skip certain stages and even create their own detours thereby leapfrogging advanced countries in both manufacturing and service sectors.This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

What is local fragmentation?
Local fragmentation refers to the breaking up of natural habitats into smaller, isolated patches due to human activities such as urbanization, agriculture, and infrastructure development. This fragmentation can lead to a loss of biodiversity, as it disrupts the movement and gene flow of species, making it difficult for them to find food, mates, and suitable habitats. It can also increase the vulnerability of species to extinction and reduce the overall resilience of ecosystems. Efforts to mitigate local fragmentation include creating wildlife corridors and protected areas to connect fragmented habitats and promote species movement.
