Many people working toward sustainability recognize the important
role of conservation but are inadequately prepared to deal with the
large spatial, temporal and complexity scales that are involved in
large-scale conservation efforts. Problems in large-scale
conservation require navigating an intermixture of geophysical,
biological and political dimensions. Coming to grips with these
many natural and human forces and factors at large scales, much
less the myriad details in any single case, is challenging in the
extreme and becomes more critical with each day that passes.
Large-scale conservation poses many complex challenges that single
disciplines, approaches or methods cannot fully address alone.
Interdisciplinarity can significantly strengthen large-scale
conservation efforts. Throughout Large-Scale Conservation in the
Common Interest the editors and authors argue that a more holistic
and genuinely interdisciplinary approach is required to solve the
complex and growing challenges associated with large-scale
conservation. The chapters within offer such an approach and define
key terms, bring challenges to light and employ case studies to
offer concrete practical and strategic recommendations to help
those who are engaged in the interactive tasks of promoting
sustainability and human dignity. This book is intended for a broad
audience, including students and professors new to the field of
large-scale conservation, experienced field-based practitioners in
science and management and decision and policy makers who set
specific and strategic direction for large landscapes. Professors
can use this book to introduce students to the challenges of
successful large-scale conservation design and implementation and
to teach interdisciplinarity as a framework, concept and tool.
Professionals will find this book offers a new way of using
science, management and policy to make decisions. Finally, this
volume can be used as a guide to set up workshops, seminars, or
projects involving diverse people and perspectives.
