The International Politics of Bird Conservation assesses
international cooperation on migratory and endangered birds in
different regions of the world. Robert Boardman illustrates that -
although birds are protected in international treaties, by national
legislation and through the projects of non-governmental
organizations - the threats to many species have mounted. Threats
arise from ecologically inappropriate agricultural and forestry
practices, the spread of cities and the draining of wetlands, among
other factors. The author focuses on regional cooperation between
governments, NGOs and international organizations. It questions the
effectiveness of international cooperation on the protection of
birds, particularly migratory and endangered species. The rise of
conservation-related scientific research and the historical
evolution of bird protection efforts are discussed, as are regional
developments in Africa, the Americas, the Arctic, Antarctica, Asia,
Australasia, and Europe. The author concludes by identifying
emerging trends in environmental governance and suggesting reforms
to strengthen these arrangements. This book will prove a
fascinating read for researchers, academics, organizations and
specialists in a wide range of fields including: bird conservation
and wildlife protection, environmental law and policy, global
governance, regionalism and transborder cooperation.
