Nature and Culture

Rebuilding Lost Connections

Herausgeber: Pilgrim, Sarah; Pretty, Jules N.

Beschreibung

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.
