The Anthropocene era has been marked by such significant human pressure that it has led to the sixth mass extinction. The Baseline Concept in Biodiversity Conservation interprets human domination of the Earth as the process of gradual landscape change, the execution of which is neither linear nor homogeneous.

Tim R. New, "Insect Diversity, Declines and Conservation in Australia "
English | ISBN: 3030901335 | 2022 | 248 pages | PDF | 3 MB
Problems of insect enumeration and assessment of needs are addressed in the contexts of rapid and substantial losses and changes to all key Australian terrestrial and freshwater environments and promoting awarenesss of the importance of insects. Further definition of the insect fauna and its peculiarities can aid threat alleviation and practical management to protect and conserve this unique and largely endemic biodiversity. Written for the many environmental managers and naturalists who are not primarily entomologists, the ten chapters expand from considerations of insect decline and diversity to the unique features of the Australian fauna and its characterisation. Cases and examples from throughout the world illustrate the major needs, approaches and priorities to sustaining a poorly known, diverse and ecologically varied insect heritage of global significance.

Whale Sharks: Biology, Ecology, and Conservation
English | 2022 | ISBN: 1032049405 | 345 Pages | PDF (True) | 48 MB
Whale sharks are the largest of all fishes, fascinating for comparative studies of all manner of biological fields, including functional anatomy, growth, metabolism, movement ecology, behavior and physiology. These gentle ocean giants have captured the interest of scientists and the imagination of the public, yet their future is uncertain. The conservation status of whale sharks was upgraded to Endangered on the IUCN Red List and the species faces a range of intense threats from human activities. Can these iconic living animals, who have survived for millions of years, survive us?

Martin Drechsler, "Ecological-Economic Modelling for Biodiversity Conservation"
English | 2020 | pages: 315 | ISBN: 1108493769, 1108725511 | PDF | 4,6 mb
Ecologists and economists both use models to help develop strategies for biodiversity management. The practical use of disciplinary models, however, can be limited because ecological models tend not to address the socioeconomic dimension of biodiversity management, whereas economic models tend to neglect the ecological dimension. Given these shortcomings of disciplinary models, there is a necessity to combine ecological and economic knowledge into ecological-economic models. Gradually guiding the reader into the field of ecological-economic modelling by introducing mathematical models and their role in general, this book provides an overview on ecological and economic modelling approaches relevant for research in the field of biodiversity conservation. It discusses the advantages of and challenges associated with ecological-economic modelling, together with an overview of useful ways of integration. Although being a book about mathematical modelling, ecological and economic concepts play an equally important role, making it accessible for readers from very different disciplinary backgrounds.

Conservation and Management of Transnational Tuna Fisheries By
2010 | 347 Pages | ISBN: 0813805678 | PDF | 6 MB
Conservation and Management of Transnational Tuna Fisheries reviews and synthesizes the existing literature, focusing on rights-based management and the creation of economic incentives to manage transnational tuna fisheries. Transnational tuna fisheries are among the most important fisheries in the world, and tuna commissions are increasingly shifting toward this approach. Comprehensively covering the subject, Conservation and Management of Transnational Tuna Fisheries summarizes global experience and offers practical applications for applying rights-based management and the creation of economic incentives, addressing potential problems as well as the total level of capacity. This reference work is divided into four parts, beginning with an overview of the book, including the issues, property rights, and rights-based management. The subsequent sections address issues arising with property rights, discuss bycatch, and cover compliance, enforcement, trade measures, and politics. Written by an expert team of international authors, Conservation and Management of Transnational Tuna Fisheries will appeal to social and fisheries scientists and fishery managers in universities and research institutions, government and non-governmental organizations, fisheries management bodies, members of the fishing industry, and international institutions.Content: Chapter 1 Introduction (pages 1-10): Dr. Robin Allen, Dr. James Joseph, Dr. Dale Squires and Elizabeth StryjewskiChapter 2 Addressing the Problem of Excess Fishing Capacity in Tuna Fisheries (pages 11-38): Dr. James Joseph, Dr. Dale Squires, Dr. William Bayliff and Professor Theodore GrovesChapter 3 Property and Use Rights in Fisheries (pages 39-64): Dr. Dale SquiresChapter 4 Rights?Based Management in Transnational Tuna Fisheries (pages 65-86): Dr. Robin Allen, Dr. William Bayliff, Dr. James Joseph and Dr. Dale SquiresChapter 5 The Benefits and Costs of Transformation of Open Access on the High Seas (pages 87-95): Dr. Robin Allen, Dr. William Bayliff, Dr. James Joseph and Dr. Dale SquiresChapter 6 International Fisheries Law and the Transferability of Quota: Principles and Precedents (pages 97-125): Professor Andrew SerdyChapter 7 Can Rights Put It Right?
