Analysis of the “European Charter on General Principles for Protection of the Environment and Sustainable Development” The Council of Europe Document CO-DBP (2003)2.
(Springer, 2012-11) Martin Rodriguez-Ovelleiro, Maria Angeles; Martinez de Anguita, Pablo; Acosta, Miguel
For almost 50 years, the Council of Europe through a series of documents has been helping to build up a set of rules, principles, and strategies related to culture, environment, ethics, and sustainable development. At the moment, one of the most important aims of the Council of Europe’s agenda deals with the elaboration of the General Principles for the Protection of the Environment and Sustainable Development, as raised in document CO-DBP (2003)2 related to the environmental subject. The intention of the Council of Europe is to encourage national authorities to implement these General Principles into their national environmental policies. These principles should have an important effect, especially in those countries which are new members of the European Union. The primary target of this paper is the study of these principles and the setting of their entailed implications in order to establish a relation between values and policy making. Quite often, the conclusions adopted by the agreements generated within the framework of the European Union are controversial. Therefore, a study aiming to lay the foundations of these principles will make the exchange of ideas easier, providing a wider and more detailed scope in the European environmental policy.

Economic, political and ethical integration in a common decision-making framework
(Elsevier, 2008-07) Martinez de Anguita, Pablo; Alonso, Enrique; Martin Rodriguez-Ovelleiro, Maria Angeles
his article develops a decision-making framework for environmental management that integrates technical, economic, political and legal, and ethical decision levels. It attempts to show how these decision levels can be ordained, integrated and interconnected and postulates a hierarchic concentric sphere system that proposes an environmental management model for long-term solutions. This model can be used as a check list for environmental management decision-making and also as a guide for environmental conflict resolution where environmental problems necessitate several levels of decision making. It integrates various environmental ethical positions and evaluates political decisions into a comprehensive, broadly applicable multidisciplinary approach. The objective of this decision-making model is to interconnect into a simplified sequence different levels of environmental management processes in order to account for sustainability, efficacy, efficiency and the acceptability of environmental management processes in the long term. This is done by observing when an environmental problem needs to be solved within a certain sphere of solutions and when it requires wider frameworks, how these can be established and how this process proves that solidarity is the widest and most reasonable sphere.
Environmental subsidiarity, the missing principle in resource management: application to payments for ecosystem services and REDD+ architecture.
(Springer, 2013-11) Martinez de Anguita, Pablo; Martin Rodriguez-Ovelleiro, Maria Angeles; Clare, Abbie
This article describes and proposes the “environmental subsidiarity principle” as a guiding ethical value in forestry governance. Different trends in environmental management such as local participation, decentralization or global governance have emerged in the last two decades at the global, national and local level. This article suggests that the conscious or unconscious application of subsidiarity has been the ruling principle that has allocated the level at which tasks have been assigned to different agents. Based on this hypothesis this paper describes the principle of subsidiarity and its application to environmental policies within forest governance and proposes the “environmental subsidiarity” principle as a critical conceptual tool for sustainable resource management. The paper explains as an example how “environmental subsidiarity” is the key principle that can link payment for ecosystem services (PES) with environmental public policies and applies this principle with all its political consequences to reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, and enhancing forest carbon stocks in developing countries (REDD+) architecture. It concludes by showing how the adoption of “environmental subsidiarity” as a ethical principle could help to maximize benefits to all stakeholders involved in PES schemes such as REDD+.

Gobernanza ambiental o el arte de resolver conflictos en la gestión del medio ambiente
(Mundiprensa, 2018) Martin Rodriguez-Ovelleiro, Maria Angeles; Clark, Susan G.
Entender y anticiparse a los posibles problemas en el desarrollo de un proyecto es clave para asegurar la sostenibilidad del territorio pues más tarde o temprano van a surgir conflictos y con ellos la necesidad de encontrar métodos para resolverlos. Este libro aborda el análisis y las técnicas de resolución de conflictos ambientales. Está destinado a profesionales, tanto de España como de Sudamérica que se destinan a la política y gobernanza ambiental, así como a la gestión pública de los recursos ambientales en general. La resolución de conflictos en la gestión ambiental es un tema que se ha abordado en el ámbito jurídico, sin embargo, este libro expone una metodología para la toma de decisiones en la gestión en el ámbito medioambiental. Para ello se parte del concepto de la gobernanza adaptativa y muestra cómo aplicarlo a la gestión ambiental de un modo sencillo, metódico y directo. Incluye dos casos de estudio en el ámbito de la introducción de especies protegidas y de los estudios de impacto ambiental; áreas de conocimiento ambas, que tanto en grado como postgrado aportan un conocimiento de gobernanza imprescindible para una gestión sostenible.
Measuring mosaic diversity based on land use map in the region of Madrid, Spain
(Elsevier, 2018-02) Martin Rodriguez-Ovelleiro, Maria Angeles; Velázquez Saornil, Javier; Hernando Gallego, Ana; García Abril, Antonio; Irastorza, Pedro
Ecological sustainable landscapes require that their ecological processes can be sustained over time. Spatial heterogeneity is recognized as a very influent factor in biological diversity, but there is still a need to evaluate how this heterogeneity changes with scale and how pattern or processes change with the definition of the detail level, so this is the aim of this study. A six level hierarchical land use map, comprising 7244 patches and 646 different land units was generated for the Region of Madrid. We calculated heterogeneity pattern indices, based on information theoretic measures (Shannon diversity index, Evenness) and fractal geometry index. The study area has been the Region of Madrid (8000 Km2) and three partitioning zones (sub-regions or macro-landscapes) of the territory, using vector-based techniques. Territorial diversity is measured and different detail levels are compared from the hierarchical land use map. This analysis could establish the appropriate level of information necessary to reflect significant heterogeneity measurements. The analysis shows that index values rise for each level and for the three studied zones. These values suggest that when the hierarchical classification has an increment in the detail level, the amount of information is broader and explains the spatial heterogeneity results. Zone analysis suggests that the woodland area contribution to Shannon index is higher than for less forested zones. The conclusions drawn are that the regional level is not adequate for territorial diversity evaluation, whenever it contains macro-landscapes and sub-regions with wide physical or land-use differences. Another conclusion is the importance of increasing forest area in agricultural areas or high urban component, to increase landscape diversity. This study allows for a better comprehension of territorial patterns and their meaning. It identifies the most influential land uses to heterogeneity from variations on the territorial pattern diversity, providing a simple and accessible methodology for the study of landscape processes.
Ordenación Integral
(Dikinson, 2006) Martinez de Anguita, Pablo; Garcia Abril, Antonio; Martin Rodriguez-Ovelleiro, Maria Angeles; Romero, Raul; Pedroche, Beatriz
La ordenación territorial surge de la combinación de la planificación fisica, la socioeconómica y la incorporación e instrumentación de propuestas de accion y de normas por lo que puede ser definida como la proyeccion en el espacio de una estrategia de desarrollo social económico y ambiental fundamental para la correcta actuación de proyectos y la conservacion del medio natural

Todos los animales somos vulnerables
(Tirant lo Blanch, 2023) Martin Rodriguez-Ovelleiro, Maria Angeles
El avance e interés social en la vida animal urge profundizar en la definición de que es un animal. Dado que carecemos de una respuesta clara, se tiende a proyectar arbitrariamente nuestro modo de pensar y sentir sobre ellos. De esta manera se generan visiones éticas deformadas que dañan injustamente tanto a los propios animales como a las personas en cualquier estado de su vida, particularmente en sus estados mas indefensos (que no mas vulnerables, puesto que siempre la vida en si es vulnerable), como son la vida intrauterina o el final de la vida
