The world is entering a period of unprecedented environmental and
political change. By mid-century, climate change will cause
dramatic ecosystem shifts. Hundreds, if not thousands, of species
will disappear from the earth including icons like polar bears,
gorillas, Asiatic lions and bluefin tuna. For many cultures
'species' are 'place'. As our cultivated global community erodes,
international triage decisions about species and local ecosystems
will commence and if we are not alert, these decisions will be made
on our collective behalf, without local perspective or
accountability. Global Environmental Governance, Civil Society and
Wildlife illuminates a clear pathway for the environmental,
non-governmental community to transition into a co-governance role.
Many NGO diplomats have deeper experience and more technical
knowledge about policy discussions than their government
counterparts and are unburdened by sovereign constraints. The book
puts forward the perspectives of developing world civil society and
the case that it must play a more significant role in future
decision making. Civil society from around the world must be
welcomed by governments at the global environmental governance
table if we are to hear birdsong after the storm.
