La permacultura es la integración del medio ambiente con el ser humano. Es un proyecto sostenible en el que se integran y armonizan el ser humano y el paisaje. En este concepto se añade también el hecho de reutilizar los materiales aumentando su vida útil, evitar la generación de residuos en lo máximo posible, y la creación de sistemas ecológicos para la agricultura de la forma más sostenible. 2, record 1, Spanish, - permacultura

By participating in this programme you will help to increase our knowledge of frogs and toads in Ontario. Frogs and toads are a part of local biodiversity - the amazing variety of life around us. Conserving biodiversity is essential to the health of the planet and the welfare of humankind. Changes in frog and toad populations may be good indicators of changes in the wetland environments that sustain them. This is because they live "on the edge" between water and land, and are very sensitive to pollution and habitat alterations. 1, record 5, English, - Frogwatch%20Ontario

Votre participation à notre programme nous aidera à approfondir notre connaissance des grenouilles et des crapauds de l'Ontario. Ces petits animaux font partie de la biodiversité locale, cette quantité incroyable de vie qui nous entoure. La santé de la planète et le bien-être de l'humanité dépendent de la biodiversité. Les changements dans les populations des grenouilles et des crapauds peuvent être de bons éléments indicateurs des changements qui s’opèrent dans les marais qui assurent leur survie, car ils vivent quelque part entre l'eau et la terre et sont très sensibles à la pollution et aux autres modifications de leur habitat. 1, record 5, French, - Attention%20grenouilles%20de%20l%26rsquo%3BOntario

What would constitute excessive cumulative effects of hydroelectric dams in the three provinces surrounding Hudson Bay? How many people is enough for the planetary norms to sustain? In answering these questions, much more than biodiversity values/functions are at stake since the destruction or collapse of norms locally, regionally or even globally can have major impacts upon the economies (i.e. the efficiencies and success of natural systems in creating and maintaining the ecosphere) of nature and humans alike. 1, record 6, English, - planetary%20norm

Quelle surface de prairie naturelle peut-on convertir en monoculture agricole? Quelle surface de forêt peut-on soumettre à une coupe à blanc en Colombie-Britannique? Quel degré d’exploitation des Grands Bancs constitue une surexploitation? Quel impact cumulatif doit être considéré comme excessif pour les barrages hydroélectriques des trois provinces riveraines de la baie d’Hudson? Quelle population humaine la norme planétaire peut-elle tolérer de façon durable? La réponse à ces questions met en jeu beaucoup plus que les fonctions et valeurs de la biodiversité, car la destruction ou l'effondrement d’une situation normale à l'échelle planétaire, régionale ou même locale peut avoir un impact considérable autant sur l'économie de la nature(c'est-à-dire sur la capacité ou le rendement des systèmes naturels quant à la création et au maintien de l'écosphère) que sur l'économie humaine. 1, record 6, French, - norme%20plan%C3%A9taire

Of course, over the past five thousand years, human intelligence has become part of the natural order. The unprecedented power of our individual and collective intelligence is uniquely responsible for the great changes (mainly extinctions, extirpations and toxifications of wild species and natural ecosystems) that are depleting the planet'sevolved biodiversity standards or norms. 1, record 8, English, - toxification

Évidemment, au cours des cinq derniers millénaires, l'intelligence humaine en est venue à faire partie de cet ordre naturel. Ce pouvoir individuel et collectif sans précédent est à lui seul responsable des grands changements(principalement la disparition totale ou locale ou la contamination toxique d’espèces sauvages et d’écosystèmes naturels) qui appauvrissent les diverses normes de biodiversité que l'évolution a créées à l'échelle de la planète. 1, record 8, French, - contamination%20toxique
