Nature and Culture - Rebuilding Lost Connections (Paperback): Sarah Pilgrim, Jules N Pretty Nature and Culture - Rebuilding Lost Connections (Paperback)
Sarah Pilgrim, Jules N Pretty
R1,634 Discovery Miles 16 340 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

There is a growing recognition that the diversity of life comprises both biological and cultural diversity. But this division is not universal and, in many cases, has been deepened by the common disciplinary divide between the natural and social sciences and our apparent need to manage and control nature. This book goes beyond divisive definitions and investigates the bridges linking biological and cultural diversity. The international team of authors explore the common drivers of loss, and argue that policy responses should target both forms of diversity in a novel integrative approach to conservation, thus reducing the gap between science, policy and practice. While conserving nature alongside human cultures presents unique challenges, this book forcefully shows that any hope for saving biological diversity is predicated on a concomitant effort to appreciate and protect cultural diversity.
