Summary: We invite you to read the Special Issue on business models in tourism, in the context of considering the principles of sustainable development. It is a collection of 14 articles published in a Special Issue of Sustainability MDPI in 2019-2021. The dynamic changes taking place in the world economy, social life, and the natural environment force entrepreneurs to change their business models. This also happens in the tourism business. The SARS-COV2 virus pandemic has increased the need for change. It is necessary to offer managers modern management tools that cover the broadest possible scope of integration of the elements of the conducted business activities, at the same time adjusted to the specificity of the market and needs of the natural environment in which the enterprises managed by them operate. This book, formulated in the light of the presented needs, aims to use the concept of business models and sustainability business models in the context of a tourism enterprise adapted to the existing conditions of tourist and spa activities.

Summary: This Special Issue explores the cross-disciplinary approaches, methodologies, and applications of socio-environmental vulnerability assessment that can be incorporated into sustainable management. The volume comprises 20 different points of view, which cover environmental protection and development, urban planning, geography, public policymaking, participation processes, and other cross-disciplinary fields. The articles collected in this volume come from all over the world and present the current state of the world's environmental and social systems at a local, regional, and national level. New approaches and analytical tools for the assessment of environmental and social systems are studied. The practical implementation of sustainable development as well as progressive environmental and development policymaking are discussed. Finally, the authors deliberate about the perspectives of social-environmental systems in a rapidly changing world.

Summary: This Special Issue presents the latest advances in agriculture, aquaculture, food technology and environmental protection and engineering, discussing, among others, the following issues: new technologies in water, stormwater and wastewater treatment; water saving, lake restoration; new sludge and waste management systems; biodiesel production from animal fat waste; the microbiological quality of compound fish feeds for aquaculture; the role of technological processes to improve food quality and safety; new trends in the analysis of food and food components including in vitro, in vivo, and in silico analyses; and functional and structural aspects of bioactivities of food molecules.
5. To Save a Wilderness: The Creation and Development of Gashaka Gumti National Park, Nigeria.

Barnwell, Richard
- Abstract
The chapter reconstructs the process that led to the creation of Nigeria΄s largest national park at Gashaka Gumti from the initial inception as a chain of game sanctuaries. Its development is closely linked with political processes in the 1960s after Nigeria gained independence and the involvement of local communities. The contribution reiterates the need to revive and expand this early approach to conservation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

6. Stand-level management of plantations to improve biodiversity values.

Cummings, Jason and Reid, Nick
- Abstract
As conservation reserves expand, the likelihood that they will capture areas degraded by previous land use increases. Ecological restoration of such areas will therefore play an increasing role in biodiversity conservation. On the New South Wales North Coast, recent expansion in the conservation estate has captured over 300 softwood and hardwood plantations, many with understoreys dominated by exotic weeds. Here we present an overview of the practices we have adopted in managing flooded gum (Eucalyptus grandis) plantations infested with lantana (Lantana camara) to enhance their biodiversity value. Experiments designed to overcome barriers limiting regeneration of native forest in conjunction with measurement of soil and plant responses yielded insights into the management of former timber plantations for biodiversity. Canonical Correspondence Analysis indicated that the level of canopy retention (or logging intensity) within sites consistently explained the greatest amount of variation in plant community composition (32–38% post-treatment). Thinning and burning stimulated regeneration of native species. Retained canopy cover was proportional to the richness or abundance of native woody shrubs, understorey trees and native perennial herbs, indicating that management intensity can be varied to promote a range of conservation values. A state-and-transition model summarising purported management actions and likely outcomes for these plantations is presented. This is the first time plantations have been managed solely for biodiversity. Logging income means that plantation restoration can be cost-neutral, and the positive influence of a cover crop of trees means that plantation management may generally be manipulated to promote biodiversity conservation.

W National Park lies in the border triangle of Benin, Burkina Faso and Niger in West Africa. Established under French colonial rule in 1927, it was designated as the first African transborder biosphere reserve in 2002. Although the Benin part of the reserve was given a participatory management approach in 2002, illegal hunting, logging, transborder mobile herding and cash cropping continue to pose important threats to the reserve. The whole area, especially the buffer zone, is a source of conflicts between the different adjacent communities and between communities and park administration. The book analyses how the surveillance teams operate in this context. It describes encounters between park surveillance staff and local stakeholders in three different arenas: the park’s core area, adjacent villages and public political forums. It shows how, in a setting dominated largely by cash crop production, the abstract idea „national park“ is being translated by park staff and how in the process local meanings of the idea emerge. Drawing on 14 months of ethnographic research between 2008 and 2010, this book contributes to the current state of research on participatory natural resources management. Moreover, it provides insights into the working of state administration in a context of contradictory policies of conservation and rural development., Der grenzüberschreitende Nationalpark W liegt in Westafrika im Dreiländereck von Benin, Burkina Faso und Niger. 1927 unter französischer Kolonialherrschaft gegründet, erfolgte 2002 die Ausrufung zum ersten grenzüberschreitenden Biosphärenreservat Afrikas. Trotz diverser partizipativer Maßnahmen der Parkverwaltung gefährden Feldbau, grenzüberschreitende mobile Weidewirtschaft (Transhumanz), Wilderei und Holzeinschlag den Nationalpark. Konflikte um die Nutzung von Land und anderen kritischen Ressourcen entstehen insbesondere in der überregulierten Pufferzone. Dieses Buch fragt, wie Überwachungseinheiten in diesem Kontext operieren. Es beschreibt typische Situationen des Zusammentreffens zwischen Parküberwachung und lokalen Akteuren in drei unterschiedlichen Arenen: der Kernzone des Parks, dem Anrainerdorf und lokalen politischen Foren. Die dichten Fallstudien verdeutlichen die konfliktreichen Prozesse, in denen die Idee „Nationalpark“ von Akteuren der Parkverwaltung und ihren lokalen Mitarbeitern in den Kontext der Baumwollstadt Banikoara übersetzt wird und wie der Nationalpark in diesen Prozessen zu einer lokalen Bedeutung gelangt. Das Buch, das auf einer vierzehnmonatigen Feldforschung zwischen 2008 und 2010 basiert, setzt neue Impulse für die Weiterentwicklung partizipativer Ansätze in Ressourcenschutzgebieten und benennt die Herausforderungen staatlichen Handelns im Spannungsfeld von Ressourcenschutz und cash crop-orientierter ländlicher Entwicklungspolitik.
