- The perspective of youth: envisioning transformative pathways and desirable futures for people and naturePublication . Schmitt, Thomas M.; Aminian Biquet, Juliette; Blinova, Polina; Jimenez, Yohana G.; Sinav, Lider; Vašková, Hana; Dumont, Ana Sofia Lorda; Kien, Pham Trung; Mathur, Vinamra; Mwale, Brenda; Soriano, Deign Frolley; Anantaprayoon, Nopparat; Arimiyaw, Abdul Wahid; Koech, Sheila; Choque, Kantuta Conde; Kim, Hye Jin; Kuiper, Jan J.; Pereira, Laura M.; Miller, Brian W.This paper examines the pathways to desirable nature futures as envisioned by 22 young people from all United Nations regions and diverse cultural backgrounds who participated in the second edition of the IPBES Youth workshop (2022). The workshop employed the Three Horizons framework and the Nature Futures Framework (NFF) to describe the plurality of youth visions for desirable nature futures and transformative pathways to achieve these visions. Based on the outcomes of the workshop, we conducted a qualitative content analysis categorizing the ideas and quantitatively assessed commonalities and differences among workshop groups, which were based on the NFF perspectives (nature for nature, nature for society, nature as culture, and a group in between perspectives). There were important differences in the visions and pathways articulated by the groups, but also commonalities, such as the importance of governance, community-based approaches, and education for achieving desirable nature futures. We also discuss the importance of flexibility in the NFF to accommodate diverse perspectives and involvement of youth in shaping global sustainability agendas. While many ideas raised by young people during this workshop align with existing conservation narratives, the study reveals the need to foster new and innovative ideas to drive transformative change that is sensitive to diverse contexts, histories, and experiences.
- When sardines disappear: tracking common dolphin, delphinus delphis, distribution responses along the western iberian coastPublication . Brouder, Sarah; Marques, Tiago A.; Oliveira, Nuno; Monteiro, Pedro; Gonçalves, Jorge Manuel Santos; Marçalo, AnaThe common dolphin, Delphinus delphis, is the most abundant cetacean species along the western Iberian Peninsula and faces many anthropogenic threats, with bycatch being the most impactful. Its preferred prey, sardine (Sardina pilchardus), has shown fluctuating abundance over the past decade, potentially influencing dolphin distribution. This study provides the first insights into common dolphin distribution along the western Iberian coast, using sighting data from vessel research surveys (2005-2020) to identify hotspot areas while accounting for monthly and seasonal distributions overlapping with sardine abundance. Common dolphin hotspots were located along the central-western and southern Portuguese mainland coasts, coinciding with important fishing ports, oceanographic features, and sardine juvenile habitats. Furthermore, during 2013-2016, common dolphins were observed significantly farther from the coast, coinciding with a period of particularly low coastal sardine biomass. However, GAM analysis indicated that the relationship between sardine biomass and the distance of common dolphins was not significant. This study highlights the major common dolphin hotspots and presents the most comprehensive temporal and distribution maps of the common dolphin along the western Iberian coast, particularly in response to sardine availability. These results can be used by managers to inform conservation measures and for the sustainable management of the Portuguese sardine purse seine fishery fleet, which interacts the most with the species.
- A construção de conhecimento sobre efemérides: descrição de uma intervenção pedagógica em contexto de educação pré-escolarPublication . Guerreiro, Bárbara Alexandra Pereira; Sequeira, Teresa Cosmo Domingos Maló; Paula, Maria da Glória Carriço de SantanaO presente Relatório, intitulado “A Construção de Conhecimento sobre Efemérides: Descrição de uma intervenção pedagógica em Contexto de Educação Pré-Escolar”, incide sobre o trabalho desenvolvido na unidade curricular de Prática de Ensino Supervisionada (PES), em Educação Pré-escolar, e procura analisar e compreender a importância da comemoração das Efemérides no Jardim de Infância e verificar até que ponto as crianças constroem conhecimento quando as Efemérides são apresentadas no seu quotidiano. Nesta investigação participaram vinte e cinco crianças e respetiva Educadora de Infância, de uma instituição de Faro. A investigação tem como ponto de partida a questão de investigação – Será que a Comemoração das Efemérides proporciona a construção de conhecimento às crianças? Neste sentido, os objetivos gerais do relatório consistem em (i) averiguar se a partir da comemoração de Efemérides no Jardim de Infância as crianças desenvolvem o conhecimento e (ii) definir uma forma como a comemoração de Efemérides deverá ser realizada com base nos documentos orientadores, nomeadamente as Orientações Curriculares para a Educação Pré-Escolar (OCEPE), Perfil dos Alunos à Saída da Escolaridade Obrigatória (PASEO) e Estratégia Nacional de Educação para a Cidadania (ENEC). Foram realizadas análises aos documentos da instituição. A partir da observação participante, recolheram-se registos fotográficos e vídeos, bem como notas de campo e reflexões, após a realização das atividades com o grupo de crianças. Verificou-se que as Efemérides são datas que se destacam no nosso calendário, estando presentes no quotidiano da instituição de educação pré-escolar e que as crianças conseguem construir conhecimento, nomeadamente cultural, valores e sentido de pertença à sociedade. Relativamente ao grupo de crianças, todas demonstraram entusiasmo e interesse pelas atividades realizadas.
