Produktinformationen zu „Biodiversity Monitoring and Conservation (PDF)“
As the impacts of anthropogenic activities increase in both magnitude and extent, biodiversity is coming under increasing pressure. Scientists and policy makers are frequently hampered by a lack of information on biological systems, particularly information relating to long-term trends. Such information is crucial to developing an understanding as to how biodiversity may respond to global environmental change. Knowledge gaps make it very difficult to develop effective policies and legislation to reduce and reverse biodiversity loss.
This book explores the gap between global commitments to biodiversity conservation, and local action to track biodiversity change and implement conservation action. High profile international political commitments to improve biodiversity conservation, such as the targets set by the Convention on Biological Diversity, require innovative and rapid responses from both science and policy. This multi-disciplinary perspective highlights barriers to conservation and offers novel solutions to evaluating trends in biodiversity at multiple scales.

Autoren-Porträt
Ben Collen is head of the Indicators & Assessments Unitat the Zoological Society of London. His research is focussed
on developing indicators to monitor change in biodiversity and help
guide policy responses to conservation problems. He conducts
local scale monitoring on tropical forest fauna in Liberia, and
penguins in the Antarctic.
Nathalie Pettorelli is a population ecologist, whose
research is centred on predicting the impacts of global
environmental change on biodiversity. Her work was among the first
to explore the usefulness of satellite data (in particular, the
Normalised Difference Vegetation Index) in the context of
population ecology and dynamics.
Jonathan Baillie is Director of Conservation at the
Zoological Society of London. He is responsible for conservation
projects focusing on threatened species and habitats in over 50
countries around the world. His research focus lies in defining the
status and trends of the world's species and ecosystems.
Sarah Durant is head of the Tanzania Carnivore Centre in
Arusha, and the Range Wide Conservation Initiative for Cheetah and
Wild Dog. She has been working for over 20 years in carnivore
conservation in Africa, focussing on developing effective and
sustainable approaches to conserve threatened species.
