With a foreword by Edward O. Wilson, this book brings together
internationally known experts from the scientific, societal, and
conservation policy areas who address policy responses to the
problem of biodiversity loss: how to determine conservation
priorities in a scientific fashion, how to weigh the long-term,
often hidden value of conservation against the more immediate value
of land development, the need for education in areas of rapid
population growth, and how lack of knowledge about biodiversity can
impede conservation efforts.
United in their belief that conservation of biological diversity
is a primary concern of humankind, the contributing authors address
the full scope of global biodiversity and its decline -- the
threatened marine life and extinction of many mammals in the modern
era in relation to global patterns of development, and the
implications of biodiversity loss for human health, agricultural
productivity, and the economy. "The Living Planet in Crisis" is the
result of a conference of the American Museum of Natural History's
Center for Biodiversity and Conservation.
