Urgent climate action is needed to ensure effectiveness of protected areas for biodiversity benefits
The intertwined crises of biodiversity loss and climate change pose a significant sustainability challenge, threatening ecosystems and human well-being globally. Yet, the nuanced interplay between these challenges is often understated in policy dialogs. Global biodiversity targets, including 30% protection of the Earth's surface by 2030, may fall short without robust climate change mitigation. Here, we illustrate that conservation through protect…
Achieving global biodiversity goals by 2050 requires urgent and integrated actions
Biodiversity–productivity relationships are key to nature-based climate solutions
Research gaps in knowledge of the impact of urban growth on biodiversity
Urban tinkering
Cities are currently experiencing serious, multifaceted impacts from global environmental change, especially climate change, and the degree to which they will need to cope with and adapt to such challenges will continue to increase. A complex systems approach inspired by evolutionary theory can inform strategies for policies and interventions to deal with growing urban vulnerabilities. Such an approach would guide the design of new (and redesign …

Landscape structure affects the provision of multiple ecosystem services
Understanding how landscape structure, the composition and configuration of land use/land cover (LULC) types, affects the relative supply of ecosystem services (ES), is critical to improving landscape management. While there is a long history of studies on landscape composition, the importance of landscape configuration has only recently become apparent. To understand the role of landscape structure in the provision of multiple ES, we must unders…

Towards the Establishment of a Green Infrastructure in the Region of Montreal (Quebec, Canada)
Through the analysis of semi-structured interviews held with key actors involved in the planning of the Greater Montreal region, we seek to understand the conditions that could lead to the establishment of a green infrastructure for the city. This article first describes the region's environmental and political context and then analyzes the opportunities, constraints, advantages and disadvantages in the implementation of this type of project. We …
Strong and nonlinear effects of fragmentation on ecosystem service provision at multiple scales
Human actions, such as converting natural land cover to agricultural or urban land, result in the loss and fragmentation of natural habitat, with important consequences for the provision of ecosystem services. Such habitat loss is especially important for services that are supplied by fragments of natural land cover and that depend on flows of organisms, matter, or people across the landscape to produce benefits, such as pollination, pest regulat…

A global synthesis reveals biodiversity loss as a major driver of ecosystem change
Biodiversity loss and its impact on humanity
The social dimensions of Philippine English
The context of Philippine English is described in terms of its historical, social, political and economic dimensions. The past is reviewed to explain the present, and the contemporary status and characteristics of this Philippine variety are outlined. Some tentative predictions are made as to its future, based on current social and economic trends in the area. A statement is attempted on the factors contributing to the maintenance of a standardiz…
Language Planning and Intellectualisation
The development of the national language of the Philippines is sketched from the initial selection of Tagalog to its standardisation and propagation as Wikang Pambansa (national language), and its renaming as Pilipino, subsequently FILIPINO. The last phase of language development is the phase of cultivation which has many aspects. Usually the national language is cultivated as a language of imaginative literature, the mass media, a medium of inst…
The Language Planning Situation in the Philippines
The article begins with the language profile of the Philippines based on census data and the sociolinguistics and historical literature of the languages (local and second, largely English) in the country. The uses of the languages in various domains, especially in the field of education are described, and current policy on the Philippine version of bilingual education discussed and evaluated. In the third section, on language policy and planning,…
Post-imperial English in the Philippines
Incongruity between the language of law and the language of court proceedings
Using Two/Three Languages in Philippine Classrooms
This paper describes the background to the present education scheme that has been adopted in the Philippines. It describes a multilingual country in which difficult educational decisions had to be made and policies adopted which did not always concur with the implementational realities. Problems have arisen from the unequal developmental status of Filipino and English and the subsequent failure to meet manpower and material needs. The paper concl…
An overview of language and development
The components of language rights for social development are enumerated and discussed. They are listed under such rubrics as national language development, languages of instruction, access to a Language of Wider Communication (LWD), bilingual schooling, and the cultivation of the national language. Examples of differing situations in various countries are cited, and the insights gleaned from the experience of different societies attempting to mee…
