Current status and future prospects of Lhalu wetland on the Tibetan Plateau. eco.mont (Journal on Protected Mountain Areas Research and Management)|eco.mont Vol. 13 No. 2 13 2|
No full textLhalu wetland, located in the northwest of Lhasa city, Tibet, is the highest and largest urban natural wetland in the world. Due to its specific climate and the unique plateau ecosystem, it is a hotspot of endemic and endangered species. Lhalu wetland is an important wetland for Lhasa city for its biodiversity and for enhancing human well-being. However, due to global warming, over-exploitation and the presence of non-native species, it has suffered serious ecosystem damage and biodiversity loss. To protect biodiversity and the functioning of the ecosystem, new measures are needed, and current measures should be better enforced. This study is important for biodiversity conservation and the management of Lhalu wetland in the Qinghai- Tibet plateau

No full textDidn’t Plan One But Got One: Unintended and Sooner-Than-Intended Births among Men and Women in Six European Countries
No full textThis article examines the characteristics of women and men who got a child despite declaring no such wish up to three years before the pregnancy. We compare these unintended or sooner-than-intended parents with those who got a child as intended and those who, in line with their intentions, did not increase their family size. Using the first and second wave of the Generations and Gender Survey for six low-fertility countries (Austria, Bulgaria, France, Hungary, Italy and Poland) we conduct bivariate analysis and (multinomial) logit models. Our results show that not realising negative fertility intentions is linked more to a particular stage in one’s life course and finding a new partner than to a disadvantaged socio-economic status. Thus, most of the unintended or sooner-than-intended births are probably neither unintended nor sooner-than-intended, but are a result of change in one’s life circumstances between the time of measuring the fertility intentions and their realisatio

No full textPreferences, Partners, and Parenthood: Linking Early Fertility Desires, Union Formation Timing, and Achieved Fertility
No full text‘Underachieving’ fertility desires is more common among women with higher levels of education and those who delay the first marriage beyond the mid-twenties. However, the relationship between these patterns, in particular the degree to which marriage postponement explains lower fertility among the highly educated, is not well understood. In this paper, we use data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth-1979 cohort to analyze differences in parenthood and achieved parity for men and women, focusing on the role of union formation timing in achieving fertility goals over the life course. We expand on previous research by distinguishing between entry into parenthood and average parity among parents as pathways to underachieving; by considering variation in the impact of marriage timing by education and by stage of the life course; and by comparing results for men and women. We find that the most educated women who desired three or more children are less likely to become mothers both relative to less-educated counterparts who desired large families and relative to their college-educated peers desiring two children. Once they achieve motherhood, however, they do have the highest average parity. No comparable fatherhood differential by desired family size is present. Postponing marriage beyond the age of 30 is associated with decreases in parenthood and average parity. Age patterns are similar for both women and men, pointing at social rather than biological factors for the underachievement of fertility goals
