Concepts of ecological integrity have recently been proposed to
facilitate enhanced protection of biological and ecological
resources against the threat of human activities. The promotion of
ecological integrity as a basis for public policy and decision
making stems from scientists and others concerned about the threats
of human activities to ecosystems and species, and from
philosophers attempting to derive a more suitable ethic to guide
the relationships between humans and the non-human environment.
Although ecological integrity has been proposed as a norm for
public policy and decision making, the concept is relatively new
and therefore the underlying scientific and philosophical
rationales have not been fully developed. This book offers a number
of perspectives to stimulate and inform future discussion on the
importance and consequences of ecological integrity for science,
morality and public policy. Audience: Environmental professionals,
whether academic, governmental or industrial, or working in the
private consultancy sector. Also suitable as an upper-level
reference text.
