The loss of biodiversity has put increasing pressure on the
stability and continuity of ecosystems, and their ability to
provide goods and services to mankind. This valuable new book
addresses this issue and presents an integrated ecological-economic
perspective on the analysis of biodiversity loss and conservation.
It adopts a multidisciplinary approach and attempts both to provide
a definition of biodiversity benefits as well as investigate
alternative perspectives on biodiversity. The book also presents a
classification of biodiversity values and effectively illustrates
which economic valuation methods can best measure which type of
biodiversity value. The distinguished authors move on to discuss
the utility of the application of the economics-ecology interface
and integrated modelling for the assessment of biodiversity values.
In doing so, they consider the use of multi-criteria evaluation and
meta-analytical methods to deal with the aggregation of information
from multiple disciplines and past valuation studies, respectively.
The book concludes by addressing the role of biodiversity
indicators and monetary information for policy design and
biodiversity management, devoting special attention to the
certification and the ecolabeling of biodiversity benefits. The
integration of economic and ecological theories and methods, and
the strong methodological orientation will be of immense benefit to
students, academics and researchers of environmental economics,
environmental science and ecology. Policymakers involved with
nature policy and management will also find this volume to be of
great practical value.
