“Biodiversity and Ecosystem Insecurity: A Planet in Peril”<\/strong> has been produced by Stakeholder Forum<\/strong>. It was edited by Ahmed Djoghlaf<\/strong> and Felix Dodds <\/strong>and includes chapters by: <\/strong>Gusti Muhammad Hatta, Thomas E. Lovejoy, Craig Bennett, Johan Rockstrom, Bob Watson, Achim Steiner, Jan McAlpine <\/strong>and Monique Barbut.<\/strong> The book provides an authoritative and comprehensive assessment of the threats presented to human security and well-being by the loss of ecosystems and biodiversity \u2013 recently confirmed as one of the critical ‘planetary boundaries’ that has already been exceeded. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"9781849712194\"Contributors examine the current trends and state of biodiversity globally, the drivers of biodiversity loss including climate change and economic and population pressures, and the mechanisms and policies needed for conserving and restoring biodiversity in the future. Strong emphasis is placed throughout on the fundamental importance of placing a realistic economic value on nature and the services that ecosystems provide if we are to manage our natural resources successfully; and also on the crucial role of international institutions and government policies achieving this goal.<\/p>\n

As the recent high-profile meeting of the Convention on Biological Diversity in Nagoya, Japan, underlined, the scale and pace of the destruction of natural habitats and species imperil us all. This volume is an invaluable resource for conservationists, students and those in the private and public sectors concerned to redress the damage being done to the natural world.<\/p>\n

‘Many people around the world remain totally unaware that the Earth is losing its incredible array of plant and animal life at an unprecedented and alarming rate. The dangers to our global biodiversity and the impacts this will have on human society are clearly spelled out in this book which stresses that if we continue with business as usual, we will soon reach a tipping point, causing irreparable and irreversible damage to the major ecosystems that support life on our planet.’<\/em><\/p>\n
