European ecosystems and species remain under pressure from
intensive agriculture and forestry, fishing, pollution, urban
sprawl, invasive species and climate change. This book provides a
detailed description and critical analysis of nature conservation
responses, achievements and failures, motivated by the concerning
state of nature and missed biodiversity targets. It summarises
Europe's nature and the impact of human activities, and then gives
an overview of relevant international biodiversity treaties and the
EU nature conservation policy and legislative framework. The core
of the book comprises chapters written by national experts, which
cover the UK and twenty-five EU Member States, providing
comparative case studies from which valuable lessons are drawn.
Covering wide-ranging topics such as biodiversity pressures,
legislation and governance, biodiversity strategies, species
protection, protected areas, habitat management, and funding, this
book is of interest to a wide audience, including academics and
professionals involved in nature conservation and related
environmental fields.
