Ecosystems today are dynamic and complex, leaving conservationists
faced with the paradox of conserving moving targets. New approaches
to conservation are now required that aim to conserve ecological
function and process, rather than attempt to protect static
snapshots of biodiversity. To do this effectively, long-term
information on ecosystem variability and resilience is needed.
While there is a wealth of such information in palaeoecology,
archaeology, and historical ecology, it remains an underused
resource by conservation ecologists. In bringing together the
disciplines of neo- and palaeoecology and integrating them with
conservation biology, this novel text illustrates how an
understanding of long-term change in ecosystems can in turn inform
and influence their conservation and management in the
Anthropocene. By looking at the history of traditional management,
climate change, disturbance, and land-use, the book describes how a
long-term perspective on landscape change can inform current and
pressing conservation questions such as whether elephants should be
culled, how best to manage fire, and whether ecosystems can or
should be "re-wilded" Biodiversity Conservation and Environmental
Change is suitable for senior undergraduate and post-graduate
students in conservation ecology, palaeoecology, biodiversity
conservation, landscape ecology, environmental change and natural
resource management. It will also be of relevance and use to a
global market of conservation practitioners, researchers, educators
and policy-makers.
