This edited book is focused on SDG 15. This volume covers aspects
of species and ecosystem modeling in understanding the complexity
of ecological systems, restoration, protected area management, and
species conservation. The book follows a systematic and
situation-sensitive approach to discuss ecosystem and species
modeling tools, approaches, science, case studies, opportunities,
and gaps for enhancing conservation efforts, ensuring ecosystem
resilience, and addressing sustainability issues. The book
emphasizes on science, innovations, case studies, and strategic
relevance as main pillars of using ecosystem and species modeling
tools and implementing the outcomes and results. In addition, clear
conceptual frameworks, elaborated methodologies, and their
applications are included to support policy planning and
interventions to reduce and reverse human encroachment in
human-dominated natural ecosystems, their degradation, and loss of
important species and ecosystem services. Essential information
with a special focus on advances and opportunities in advancing the
implementation of results and outputs of the modeling tools,
challenges and constraints for addressing loss of ecosystem
services, designing and implementing sustainable landscape
restoration, environmental risk assessment, and finally
understanding policy implications and concerns for mainstreaming
modeling results in conservation planning and decision-making is
included in the book. Further topics include ultimate translational
value of modeling tools and efforts across transitional ecosystems
and species habitat to provide better evidence to influence the
nature-based solutions (NbS) and ecosystem health assessment using
Red List of Ecosystems (RLE). The emerging roles of integrative
socio-ecological as well as techno-cultural factors in promoting
the relevance of ecosystem and species modeling is one of the key
features of this book. This edited volume is of interest and useful
to researchers, students, scholars, policy makers, forest managers,
consultants, and policy makers in the fields of protected area
management, forest department, conservation, modeling, climate
change, and sustainability science, and also authors engaged in
IPBES, IPCC, and several other assessments.
