Sustainable practices support ecological, human, and economic health and vitality. Sustainability presumes that resources are finite, and should be used conservatively and wisely with a view to long-term priorities and consequences of the ways in which resources are used. In simplest terms, sustainability is about our children and our grandchildren, and the world we will leave them. 3, record 1, English, - sustainable%20practice

The United Nations Development Program(UNDP) launched the MicroStart programme in February 1997. The purpose of the programme is to build a new generation of microfinance institutions(MFIs) that have transparent track records and solid institutional and financial performance, which enable them to reach poor clients while operating on a sustainable basis. MicroStart also aims to improve the practice of microfinance within the UN system by establishing guidelines, providing technical assistance, and promoting training and learning opportunities that incorporate best practice in the field. The programme has been developed in response to demand from UNDP Country Offices for a practical and operational product to assist them in the delivery of quality programming to a well-defined niche in the evolving field of microfinance. 1, record 10, English, - MicroStart

Le Programme des Nations Unies pour le développement (PNUD) a lancé le programme MicroStart, en février 1997. L’objectif du programme MicroStart est de bâtir une nouvelle génération d’institutions de microfinance (IMF), qui font montre de transparence, possèdent de solides capacités institutionnelles et sont financièrement performantes – des caractéristiques qui leur permettent d’atteindre les clients défavorisés de manière durable. MicroStart vise également à affiner la pratique de la microfinance au sein du système des Nations Unies. Il propose ainsi des orientations, fournit une assistance technique, favorise la formation et l’apprentissage grâce à l’intégration des pratiques de microfinance ayant fait leurs preuves sur le terrain. Le programme est né suite à la demande des bureaux régionaux du PNUD qui nécessitaient un appui pratique et opérationnel pour les aider à exécuter des programmes de qualité, ciblés sur un créneau bien défini du secteur en pleine expansion qu’est la microfinance. Depuis son lancement en 1997, MicroStart a été déployé ou est déployé dans vingt pays, et des subventions ont été octroyées à 68 institutions de microfinance (IMF). 1, record 10, French, - MicroStart

Ecological sampling methods. If we want to know what kind of plants and animals are in a particular habitat, and how many there are of each species, it is usually impossible to go and count each and every one present. ... This problem is usually solved by taking a number of samples from around the habitat, making the necessary assumption that these samples are representative of the habitat in general. ... Samples are usually taken using a standard sampling unit of some kind. This ensures that all of the samples represent the same area or volume (water) of the habitat each time. The usual sampling unit is a quadrat. Quadrats normally consist of a square frame, the most frequently used size being 1m². The purpose of using a quadrat is to enable comparable samples to be obtained from areas of consistent size and shape. Rectangular quadrats and even circular quadrats have been used in some surveys. 2, record 12, English, - ecological%20sampling

L'effet de la structure du paysage et des pratiques des agriculteurs sur les éléments clés du paysage que sont les bordures de champ sont pris simultanément en compte.

A great deal of forest destruction and degradation is caused by the expansion of farming and grazing. Other forces are the market demand for wood as a commodity and the local demand for fuel-wood and other forest resources for subsistence living. These pressures may be eased by boosting agricultural productivity, slowing the rate of population growth, involving local people in sustainable forest management and wood-harvesting practices ... 1, record 13, English, - sustainable%20wood%2Dharvesting%20practice

La destruction et la dégradation des forêts sont en grande partie dues à l'extension des cultures et des pâturages. Il faut également citer la demande commerciale de bois en tant que produit de base et les besoins locaux en bois de feu et autres ressources forestières qui permettent aux populations d'assurer leur subsistance. Ces pressions peuvent être atténuées en encourageant la productivité agricole, en ralentissant la croissance démographique, en associant les populations à une gestion des forêts et des pratiques de récolte du bois durables [...] 1, record 13, French, - pratique%20de%20r%C3%A9colte%20du%20bois%20durable
