Within Canada, active strives are being made to achieve Canada’s Target 1 conservation goal. The creation of area-based conservation methods such as Other Effective Conservation Measures (OECMs) and Indigenous Protected and Conserved Areas (IPCAs), provide the means to achieve these goals. However, the current screening tools used to identify and monitor OECMs and IPCAs heavily reflect exclusively western science, thereby creating barriers for Indigenous nations. This research uses the collaborative framework of Two- Eyed Seeing to identify potential criteria indicators that are inclusive of Indigenous traditional knowledge to assess the governance systems, cultural and spiritual outcomes, and conservation outcomes of IPCAs. A rapid literature review was conducted to analyze the current screening metrics used by the Canadian government which revealed the potential for criteria for monitoring metrics. This paper highlights the need for place-based conservation management, co-governance models and wellness indicators in current monitoring tools for OECMs and IPCAs.Collections

Preservation of Agricultural Lands Society (PALS) fonds 1981-2018, n.d.Cameron, Chantal (2019-01-22)Fonds contains material about the activities of the Preservation of Agricultural Lands Society (PALS). Most of the material concerns Fort Erie, Niagara Falls, and Niagara-on-the-Lake. A significant portion of the material concerns the proposed Canadian Motor Speedway Development in Fort Erie. Other materials are more general and concern the Niagara Region and the Greater Horseshoe Area. The fonds consists mostly of reports, with some correspondence, petitions and maps.

Advancing Marine Conservation through Other Effective area-based Conservation Measures (OECMs): Expert Perspectives from a Delphi StudyMaini, BaniTo reverse unprecedented rates of global biodiversity loss, conservation efforts have focused on area-based conservation tools: protected areas (PAs) and other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs). Recently, the CBD has formally adopted a definition of OECMs, and the significance of OECMs has been established. Yet, marine OECMs require more support from the conservation community to clarify their role in marine area-based conservation. To do so, the study sought to highlight the key opportunities created, potential challenges associated with implementation, process and stakeholders for evaluation of effectiveness and vision of success for marine OECMs. The research employed a Delphi study with a group of 18 international marine conservation experts. Consensus was reported for opportunities, challenges, stakeholders for evaluation and vision of success for marine OECMs. Results of this research provide support for the important contributions of marine OCEMs to biodiversity conservation, add clarity the concepts and highlight areas for future research.

New conserved vorticity integrals for moving surfaces in multi-dimensional fluid flowAnco, Stephen C. (Springer Basel, 2014-09)For inviscid fluid flow in any n-dimensional Riemannian manifold, new conserved vorticity integrals generalizing helicity, enstrophy, and entropy circulation are derived for lower-dimensional surfaces that move along fluid streamlines. Conditions are determined for which the integrals yield constants of motion for the fluid. In the case when an inviscid fluid is isentropic, these new constants of motion generalize Kelvin’s circulation theorem from closed loops to closed surfaces of any dimension.
