Reihe: Conservation Science and Practice

Biodiversity conservation and poverty alleviation are bothimportant societal goals demanding increasing internationalattention. While they may seem to be unrelated, the internationalpolicy frameworks that guide action to address them make anexplicit assumption that conserving biodiversity will help totackle global poverty. Part of the Conservation Science andPractice Series published with the Zoological Society ofLondon, this book explores the validity of that assumption. Thebook addresses a number of critical questions:
* Which aspects of biodiversity are of value to the poor?
* Does the relationship between biodiversity and poverty differaccording to particular ecological conditions?
* How do different conservation interventions vary in theirpoverty impacts?
* How do distributional and institutional issues affect thepoverty impacts of interventions?
* How do broader issues such as climate change and the globaleconomic system affect the biodiversity - povertyrelationship at different scales?
This volume will be of interest to policy-makers, practitionersand researchers concerned with understanding the potential -and limitations - of integrated approaches to biodiversityconservation and poverty alleviation.
