Southeast Asia is highly diversified in terms of socio-ecosystems
and biodiversity, but is undergoing dramatic environmental and
social changes. These changes characterize the recent period and
can be illustrated by the effects of the Green Revolution in the
late 1960s and 1970s, to the globalization of trade and increasing
agronomic intensification over the past decade. Biodiversity
Conservation in Southeast Asia provides theoretical overviews and
challenges for applied research in living resource management,
conservation ecology, health ecology and conservation planning in
Southeast Asia. Five key themes are addressed: origin and evolution
of Southeast Asian biodiversity; challenges in conservation
biology; ecosystem services and biodiversity; managing biodiversity
and living resources; policy, economics and governance of
biodiversity. Detailed case studies are included from Thailand and
the Lower Mekong Basin, while other chapters address cross-cutting
themes applicable to the whole Southeast Asia region. This is a
valuable resource for academics and students in the areas of
ecology, conservation, environmental policy and management,
Southeast Asian studies and sustainable development.
