In the commons, communities whose growth depends on public good, individuals often rely on surprisingly simple strategies, or heuristics, to decide whether to contribute to the shared resource (at risk of exploitation by free-riders). Although this appears a limitation, we show here how four heuristics lead to sustainable growth when coupled to specific ecological constraints. The two simplest ...

In this paper, we established the exploitation of impulsive harvesting single autonomous population model by Logistic equation. By some special methods, we analysis the impulsive harvesting population equation and obtain existence, the explicit expression and global attractiveness of impulsive periodic solutions for constant yield harvest and proportional harvest. Then, we choose the maximum su...

Sustainable governance of the ocean demands a more integral and timely role for science. Although, science hasplayed a limited role in global ocean governance regimes, science has made essential contributions to governance onregional scales, particularly when there is strong scientific consensus, clear identification of problems and solutions,and convergence with cultural ideas. Sci...

The challenges of how to respond to climate change and ensure sustainable development are currently high on the political agenda among the world’s leading nations. The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is part of the global carbon market developing rapidly as part of the Kyoto response towards mitigation of global warming. One of the aims of the CDM is to achieve sustainable development in deve...

Global mental health (GMH) is a growing domain with an increasing capacity to positively impact the world community's efforts for sustainable development and wellbeing. Sharing and synthesizing GMH and multi-sectoral knowledge, the focus of this paper, is an important way to support these global efforts. This paper consolidates some of the most recent and relevant 'context resources' [global mu...

Forskolin is a promising medicinal compound belonging to a plethora of specialized plant metabolites that constitute a rich source of bioactive high-value compounds. A major obstacle for exploitation of plant metabolites is that they often are produced in small amounts and in plants difficult to cultivate. This may result in insufficient and unreliable supply leading to fluctuating and high sal...

The general tertiary sector consumption pattern in Limbe indicates the drive towards recreational services delivery for staggering urban development. Despite evolution and benefits of as boosters to local socio-economic development, they do not have attention fully deserve resulting severe environmental repercussions. This study seeks examine extent exploitation sustainable development municipa...

An innovative and integrative modeling strategy for assessing the sustainability resilience of social-ecological systems (SES) is presented by introducing a entropy production (SEEP) method. In analogy to thermodynamic irreversible processes, we discuss theoretical model that relates energy information flow with cultural epistemological peculiarities different communities exploit same natural r...

In this report, the main challenges of managing orange roughy fisheries are outlined, as well as lessons learned that could be applied in the future to fisheries for this species (and others like it) which in some cases may allow for an ecologically sustainable, albeit limited, commercial fishery. The term ‘sustainable’ or ‘sustainable fishery’ in this context is defined as a fishery which meet...

This aim of this paper is to help explain the differences between the terms “sustainable development” and “green growth”. The concept of “sustainable development” was developed during the 80s and was based on three pillars: economy, environment and society. The concept of “green growth” is a more recent one. The two concepts have several differences. The first difference is that, from sustainab...
