Ecoturismo e “hotspots” de biodiversidade aviária no Mato Grosso, que relações espaciais?

O ecoturismo é uma pratica destinada à promover a descoberta do meio “natural” aos turistas, minimizando os impactos ecológicos das visitas e permitindo um desenvolvimento econômico local. A riqueza da biodiversidade é, normalmente, um dos argumentos utilizados para propor a implantação de um sistema de ecoturismo. Este estudo mostra que os centro de ecoturismo no Mato Grosso são extremamente diversos e inegavelmente preocupados com os seus impactos ecológicos. Os “hot spots” da biodiversidade não estão associados aos locais ecoturísticos os mais respeitosos do meio ambiente, mas aos lugares não turísticos e muito antropizados, os parques e jardins dos estabelecimentos agrícolas.L’éco tourisme est une pratique destinée à faire découvrir un milieu “naturel” à des touristes en minimisant les impacts écologiques des visites et en permettant un développement économique profitable au niveau local. La richesse de la biodiversité est souvent un des arguments utilisés pour proposer la mise en place d’un système d’écotourisme. Cette étude montre que les centres d’éco tourisme au Mato Grosso sont très divers et inégalement soucieux de leurs impacts écologiques. Les hot spot de la bio diversité ne sont pas associées au site éco touristiques les plus respectueux de l’environnement, mais à des lieux non touristiques et très anthropisés, les parcs et jardins des exploitations agricoles.Eco tourism is a two folded activity. It is supposed to allow tourists to discover and appreciate natural landscapes without leaving any ecological inprints. It is also supposed to help local developpement for local people and local culture. Biodiversity is often taken as a argument to promote eco tourism in a definite place: a high biodiversity is seen as attractive. This paper, which studies some eco tourism sites in Mato Grosso shows that biodiversity is not at its peak in all eco tourism establishment. It is, in deed, far greater in some agricultural sites, in gardens and in some urban sites

Design and Rationale of the National Tunisian Registry of Heart Failure (NATURE-HF): Protocol for a Multicenter Registry Study

BackgroundThe frequency of heart failure (HF) in Tunisia is on the rise and has now become a public health concern. This is mainly due to an aging Tunisian population (Tunisia has one of the oldest populations in Africa as well as the highest life expectancy in the continent) and an increase in coronary artery disease and hypertension. However, no extensive data are available on demographic characteristics, prognosis, and quality of care of patients with HF in Tunisia (nor in North Africa). ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to analyze, follow, and evaluate patients with HF in a large nation-wide multicenter trial. MethodsA total of 1700 patients with HF diagnosed by the investigator will be included in the National Tunisian Registry of Heart Failure study (NATURE-HF). Patients must visit the cardiology clinic 1, 3, and 12 months after study inclusion. This follow-up is provided by the investigator. All data are collected via the DACIMA Clinical Suite web interface. ResultsAt the end of the study, we will note the occurrence of cardiovascular death (sudden death, coronary artery disease, refractory HF, stroke), death from any cause (cardiovascular and noncardiovascular), and the occurrence of a rehospitalization episode for an HF relapse during the follow-up period. Based on these data, we will evaluate the demographic characteristics of the study patients, the characteristics of pathological antecedents, and symptomatic and clinical features of HF. In addition, we will report the paraclinical examination findings such as the laboratory standard parameters and brain natriuretic peptides, electrocardiogram or 24-hour Holter monitoring, echocardiography, and coronarography. We will also provide a description of the therapeutic environment and therapeutic changes that occur during the 1-year follow-up of patients, adverse events following medical treatment and intervention during the 3- and 12-month follow-up, the evaluation of left ventricular ejection fraction during the 3- and 12-month follow-up, the overall rate of rehospitalization over the 1-year follow-up for an HF relapse, and the rate of rehospitalization during the first 3 months after inclusion into the study. ConclusionsThe NATURE-HF study will fill a significant gap in the dynamic landscape of HF care and research. It will provide unique and necessary data on the management and outcomes of patients with HF. This study will yield the largest contemporary longitudinal cohort of patients with HF in Tunisia.
