“…The high efficiency of management of scientific and technological processes that have a direct connection with study aimed at ensuring state and public security, and observing the interests of the national economy, in the context of studying deep and near space using modern spacecraft, involves the use of remote sensing techniques of terrain using the capabilities of astrometry, as one of the main methods of scientific research in this field 18) . Notably, the technology of remote sensing of the terrain in a given optical wavelength range allows collecting information both on the geographic parameters of the terrain, on geophysical parameters, and on all technological processes occurring on the Earth surface.…”

The relevance of the study is conditioned by importance of problems of desertification of lands, included in system of providing natural resources for individual states and the whole geographical regions, and also efficiency of using modern methods of remote sensing of terrains for the effective solution of problem questions of ecological monitoring of desertification zones. The aim of this study is to investigate the data of remote sensing of terrains to assess the effectiveness of practical use of this methodology for solving the problematic issues of ecological monitoring of terrain desertification in the territories under consideration. The basis of methodological approach in this study is a combination of system analysis of various aspects of remote sensing technology application in various geographical regions with analytical study of problematic issues of ecological monitoring of land desertification, important in terms of their role in implementation of practical tasks faced by agriculture and industrial sector, in whose activities these territories are of significant practical importance. The main results obtained in the course of study are the land surface monitoring data obtained using satellite equipment, demonstrating the sequence of surface desertification stages, and clearly illustrating the possibilities of applying the surface remote sensing technology and the prospects for its subsequent application. The results and conclusions of this study are of considerable applied value from the standpoint of creation of effective methods of application of remote sensing technologies of territories, strategically important for operation of economy and industry of any state. Such technologies are also of considerable interest for employees of design offices and research institutes, engaged in development of modern methods of practical application of remote sensing technologies for assessing the degree of ecological desertification of the above-mentioned territories

Wildlife trade is a worldwide threat to biodiversity. It is a complex problem, and to deal with it, one must analyse its constituting factors, some of which are specific to certain geographic areas. Although Mexican laws have prohibited selling wild products, Mexico is still both a source and consumer of exotic wildlife; however, there is limited data on why people participate in this type of trade. This paper aims to understand people's motivations for participating in the wildlife trade. 192 surveys on a population segment unrelated to it and 30 in‐depth interviews were performed to determine the patterns of wildlife trade in Mexico. Finally, we performed two in‐person interviews with collectors of large‐scale animals. The outcomes demonstrated that Facebook was the social media showing more wildlife content. Most participants were aware of the diverse impacts of the animal trade, as well as, that offering, buying and having certain animals was a crime but were assuaged due to common knowledge that authorities do not investigate social media. Finally, based on the findings from the in‐person interviews, it was observed that the individuals engaged in heavy trafficking believed that their actions were altruistic in nature. We concluded that the primary motivations for wildlife trade in Mexico were economic status and prestige within their social groups. In that order, our study is a pioneering attempt to determine motivations in Mexico, which could be a basis for future regional studies.

“…Previous research underlined the use of MCA on data extracted from literature by text mining approach [83][84][85][86][87], as well as the stratification of the created data set [88][89][90]. In contrast, subset MCA would be proposed in case of analyzing only a set of categories or variables [91,92].…”

Non-Structural Flood Management in European Rural Mountain Areas—Are Scientists Supporting Implementation?

et al. 2021

Mountain areas are highly exposed to flood risks. The latter are increasing in the context of climate change, urbanization, and land use changes. Non-structural approaches such as nature-based solutions can provide opportunities to reduce the risks of such natural hazards and provide further ecological, social, and economic benefits. However, few non-structural flood mitigation measures are implemented in rural mountain areas so far. The objective of this paper is to investigate if the scientific boundaries limit the implementation of non-structural flood management in rural mountain areas. In the study, we statistically analyzed the knowledge about flood management through a systematic literature review and expert surveys, with a focus on European rural mountain areas. Both methods showed that scientific knowledge is available for decision makers and that nature-based solutions are efficient, cost-effective, multifunctional, and have potential for large-scale implementation.
