Publisher description
Science faces major challenges in tackling the interlinked problems of
poverty and environmental sustainability. This book reviews how practical
science can be applied to real-life conservation and development problems, and
aims to de-mystify the sometimes obscure science of natural resources
management, interpreting it for the benefit of those who need to deal with the
day to day problems of managing complex natural resource systems. The authors
give practical guidance to those who design and manage conservation programmes
and demonstrate that new technologies are now available that enable integrated
natural resource management to move from a theory to a reality. They argue that
the threats to the natural environment posed by globalisation require an
integrated response encompassing different scales, system components,
disciplines and knowledge types, and that such a response can yield real
benefits to those living in tropical developing countries, whilst also
achieving global environment objectives. Demonstrates how practical science can be applied to real-life conservation
and development problems.
