Conservation: Linking Ecology, Economics, and Culture
Monique Borgerhoff Mulder, Peter Coppolillo
Nearly
90 percent of the earth's land surface is directly affected by human
infrastructure and activities, yet less than 5 percent is legally
"protected" for biodiversity conservation--and even most large protected
areas have people living inside their boundaries. In all but a small
fraction of the earth's land area, then, conservation and people must
coexist.Conservationis
a resource for all those who aim to reconcile biodiversity with human
livelihoods. It traces the historical roots of modern conservation
thought and practice, and explores current perspectives from
evolutionary and community ecology, conservation biology, anthropology,
political ecology, economics, and policy. The authors examine a suite of
conservation strategies and perspectives from around the world,
highlighting the most innovative and promising avenues for future
efforts.
Exploring, highlighting, and bridging gaps between
the social and natural sciences as applied in the practice of
conservation, this book provides a broad, practically oriented view. It
is essential reading for anyone involved in the conservation
process--from academic conservation biology to the management of
protected areas, rural livelihood development to poverty alleviation,
and from community-based natural resource management to national and
global policymaking.
