The world is losing species and biodiversity at an unprecedented
rate. The causes go deep and the losses are driven by a complex
array of social, economic, political and biological factors at
different levels. Immediate causes such as over-harvesting,
pollution and habitat change have been well studied, but the
socioeconomic factors driving people to degrade their environment
are less well understood. This book examines the underlying causes.
It provides analyses of a range of case studies from Brazil,
Cameroon, China, Danube River Basin, India, Mexico, Pakistan,
Philippines, Tanzania and Vietnam, and integrates them into a new
and interdisciplinary framework for understanding what is
happening. From these results, the editors are able to derive
policy conclusions and recommendations for operational and
institutional approaches to address the root causes and reverse the
current trends. It makes a 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.
