Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Dr Julian Caldecott is an ecologist with a mission to help reduce and repair the damage that we are doing to the biosphere - the thin skin of life on Earth. He's spent years doing this through projects in tropical countries where the pace of environmental destruction is often fastest. His recent work as a senior consultant to the UN Environment Programme has aimed to restore natural ecosystems so as to reduce disaster risks and increase environmental security in the face of climate change.Julian sees the global water crisis as an outcome of humanity's unbalanced relationship with the biosphere. To correct this, he believes that the most important need is for public understanding of the values, functions and fragilities of nature, upon which effective action can be built. His books, which include Deep Water, Designing Conservation Projects and the World Atlas of Great Apes, aim to promote both understanding and action.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

What are the challenges involved in protecting biodiversity in tropical terrestrial and coastal ecosystems? What practical lessons can be learned from conservation projects? And what are the procedures and attitudes of governments, NGOs, donor agencies, development banks, and consulting firms? These key questions are all answered, drawing on the author's extensive experience of conservation projects in Malaysia, Nigeria, China, Indonesia, the Philippines, Costa Rica, and elsewhere. Project descriptions are used to illustrate the growth of two important themes in conservation: increasing the awareness of the economic value of biodiversity among decision makers; and enabling and encouraging local people to participate in designing and implementing projects.
