Biodiversity and conservation: Why? December 11, 2002
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a fantastic account of topical issues surrounding the increasingly popular topics of biodiversity and conservation. Why do we value diversity and rarity? Due to scientific opinion, fear of extinction or a love of nature? What kinds of valuations exit? Economic, cultural or spiritual? How do we chose which elements that we value to conserve? Through what we think would benefit the entire world at present or by what we would like future generations to be able to enjoy? If these questions interest you then this text is a must! It is additionally an essential tool for any student covering work on the ethics and purposes behind conservation of biodiversity.
