The Conservation Revolution

A post-capitalist manifesto for conservation Conservation needs a revolution. This is the only way it can contribute to the drastic transformations needed to come to a truly sustainable model of development. The good news is that conservation is ready for revolution. Heated debates about the rise of the Anthropocene and the current ‘sixth extinction’ crisis demonstrate an urgent need and desire to move beyond mainstream approaches. Yet the conservation community is deeply divided over where to go from here. Some want to place ‘half earth’ into protected areas. Others want to move away from parks to focus on unexpected and ‘new’ natures. Many believe conservation requires full int...

A History of Nature Conservation in Britain

  • Type: Book

  • Publisher: Unknown

This history of the British nature conservation movement describes an organized movement which is now 100 years old. The text traces the early campaigns for an end to the millinery industry and for freedom to walk the mountains, the legislation for bird protection and access to the countryside, the battles against pesticides and pollution, farming and forestry, and the present concerns with global issues and the presumed greening of governments. The book questions governmental concern for the environment and the efficacy of the established conservation bodies. The author argues that the purchase of reserves and the saving of remnant populations is not enough; the movement must draw itself together in order to address the global issues which it has previously avoided.

Conservation Research, Policy and Practice

Conservation research is essential for advancing knowledge but to make an impact scientific evidence must influence conservation policies, decision making and practice. This raises a multitude of challenges. How should evidence be collated and presented to policymakers to maximise its impact? How can effective collaboration between conservation scientists and decision-makers be established? How can the resulting messages be communicated to bring about change? Emerging from a successful international symposium organised by the British Ecological Society and the Cambridge Conservation Initiative, this is the first book to practically address these questions across a wide range of conservation topics. Well-renowned experts guide readers through global case studies and their own experiences. A must-read for practitioners, researchers, graduate students and policymakers wishing to enhance the prospect of their work 'making a difference'. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

The best are continually developing fresh and effective techniques on visitor interpretation and management, the worst highlight the manipulation of animals for human gratification. Taking a global approach, this book examines the problems and paradoxes of zoos as they try to balance their roles as visitor attractions while reposition...
