Transfrontier Conservation in Africa: At the Confluence of Capital, Politics and Nature
ISBN: 9781845932213 / Angielski / Twarda / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Transfrontier conservation is a global concept which encompasses the protection of biodiversity spanning the borders of two or more countries in ways that support local economic development, international relations and peace. Nowhere is this more relevant but highly debatable than in Africa, which is home to a third of the world's terrestrial biodiversity, while at the same time hosting its poorest nations. This is one of the first books to account for the emergence of transfrontier conservation in Africa against international experiences in bioregional planning. The roles of the state and...

The Economic Value of Biodiversity
ISBN: 9781853831959 / Angielski / Miękka / 186 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Biodiversity loss is one of the major resource problems facing the world, and the policy options available are restricted by inappropriate economic tools which fail to capture the value of species and their variety. This study describes in non-technical terms how cost-benefit analysis techniques can be applied to species and species loss, and how they provide a measure of the efficiency of conservation measures. Only when conservation can be shown to pass such a basic economic test, the authors claim, will it be incorporated into policies.

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Over the past decade the importance of natural resources for sustainable agricultural development has been increasingly discussed at international forums and conferences.

The discussion on conservation of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture (PGRFA), however, has to reflect the costs of conservation as well. These have not yet been discussed intensively. The...
