Book Description:
Theworld is losing species and biodiversity at a rate unprecedented inhistory. The causes go deep, and the losses are driven by a complexarray of social, economic, political and biological factors atdifferent levels. Immediate causes, such as overharvesting, pollutionand habitat change, have been well studied. But the socio-economicfactors driving people to degrade their environment are less wellunderstood.
This book examines the underlying causes. It providesanalyses of a range of case studies around the world and integratesthem into a new and interdisciplinary framework for understanding whatis happening. From these results, the editors are able to derive policyconclusions and recommendations, for operational and institutionalapproaches to address the 'root causes' and reverse the current trends.
Itmakes an invaluable contribution to the understanding of all those -from ecologists and conservationists to economists and policy makers -working on one of the major challenges we face. Published inassociation with WWF
