The Mediterranean Basin with its mountainous shores, high
biodiversity and spectacular scenery is located at the intersection
of Africa and Eurasia. Through the 8000 years of human development
in this area, there have been tremendous changes in its history and
biogeography. Approximately 300 million people live here today.
Although the evergreen maquis, vineyards, olive plantations and
natural woodlands cover the lands all over the basin, it is facing
severe destruction of habitats due to deforestation, intensive
grazing, fires, and in particular, a severe coastal degradation due
to infrastructure development, which is changing the landscape.
Both the historical heritage and geography of the land is facing a
great threat due to urbanisation and fragmentation. Time has come
for its inhabitants to weigh their impact on its ecogeography in
order to save the biodiversity as well as the history of the basin.
This book synthesises the knowledge from different disciplines so
as to increase awareness among the humans in the basin.
