Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People are inseparable from natural ecosystems, andunderstanding how people think about, experience, and interact withnature is crucial for promoting environmental sustainability aswell as human well-being. This is the new edition of what is now the leading textbook inconservation psychology, the field that explores connectionsbetween the study of human behavior and the achievement ofconservation goals. Completely updated, this book summarizes theory and research on ways in whichhumans experience nature; it explores people’s conceptions ofnature and environmental problems, their relationship with nature,and their moral lenses on nature; and examines ways to encourageconservation-oriented behavior at both individual and societallevels. Throughout, the authors integrate a wide body of researchdemonstrating the role of psychology in promoting a moresustainable relationship between humans and nature. New sections cover human perceptions of environmental problems, newexamples of community-based conservation, and a “positivepsychology” perspective that emphasizes the relevance ofnature to human resilience. Additional references are to be foundthroughout this edition along with some new examples and areorganisation of chapters in response to reader feedback. This fascinating volume is used for teaching classes to seniorundergraduate and graduate students of Conservation Psychology,Environmental Psychology and Conservation Science in departments ofPsychology, Geography, Environmental Science, and Ecology andEvolution. It is equally suitable as a starting point for otherresearchers and practitioners - psychologists, conservationbiologists, environmental scientists, and policy-makers - needingto know more about how psychological research can inform theirconservation work.

Download or read book Why Conserve Nature? written by Stephen Trudgill and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-02-24 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How we view nature transforms the world around us. People rehearse stories about nature which make sense to them. If we ask the question 'why conserve nature?', and the answers are based on myths, then are these good myths to have? Scientific knowledge about the environment is fundamental to ideas about how nature works. It is essential to the conservation endeavour. However, any conservation motivation is nested within a society's meanings of nature and the way society values it. Given the therapeutic and psychological significance of nature for us and our culture, this book considers the meanings derived from the poetic and emotional attachment to a sense of place, which is arguably just as important as scientific evidence. The functional significance of species is important, but so too is the therapeutic value of nature, together with the historic and spiritual meanings entwined in a human feeling for landscape and wildlife.

Book excerpt: While governments assert that Canada is a world leader in sustainability, Unnatural Law provides extensive evidence to refute this claim. A comprehensive assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of Canadian environmental law, the book provides a balanced, critical examination of Canada's record, focusing on laws and policies intended to protect water, air, land, and biodiversity. Three decades of environmental laws have produced progress in a number of important areas, such as ozone depletion, protected areas, and some kinds of air and water pollution. However, Canada's overall record remains poor. In this vital and timely study, David Boyd explores the reasons why some laws and policies foster progress while others fail. He ultimately concludes that the root cause of environmental degradation in industrialized nations is excessive consumption of resources. Unnatural Law outlines the innovative changes in laws and policies that Canada must implement in order to respond to the ecological imperative of living within the Earth's limits. The struggle for a sustainable future is one of the most daunting challenges facing humanity in the 21st century. Everyone - academics, lawyers, students, policy-makers, and concerned citizens - interested in the health of the Canadian and global environments will find Unnatural Law an invaluable source of information and insight.

Download or read book Nature Out of Place written by Jason Van Driesche and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2013-04-10 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though the forests are still green and the lakes full of water, an unending stream of invasions is changing many ecosystems around the world from productive, tightly integrated webs of native species to loose assemblages of stressed native species and aggressive invaders. The earth is becoming what author David Quammen has called a "planet of weeds." Nature Out of Place brings this devastating but overlooked crisis to the forefront of public consciousness by offering a fascinating exploration of its causes and consequences, along with a thoughtful and practical consideration of what can be done about it. The father and son team of Jason and Roy Van Driesche offer a unique combination of narratives that highlight specific locations and problems along with comprehensive explanations of the underlying scientific and policy issues. Chapters examine Hawaii, where introduced feral pigs are destroying the islands' native forests; zebra mussel invasion in the rivers of Ohio; the decades-long effort to eradicate an invasive weed on the Great Plains; and a story about the restoration of both ecological and human history in an urban natural area. In-depth background chapters explain topics ranging from how ecosystems become diverse, to the characteristics of effective invaders, to procedures and policies that can help prevent future invasions. The book ends with a number of specific suggestions for ways that individuals can help reduce the impacts of invasive species, and offers resources for further information. By bringing the problem of invasive species to life for readers at all levels, Nature Out of Place will play an essential role in the vital effort to raise public awareness of this ongoing ecological crisis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reviews and analyzes the period (roughly from the 1950s to the present) when the "environment" became an issue as important as economic growth, or war and peace; to assess the current situation, and begin planning for the challenges that lie ahead. Most people are aware of both the environmental destruction taking place around the world and of the specter of climate change. The devastation of New Orleans by hurricane Katrina illustrates the potential for disaster when climate change is combined with the mismanaged environmental policy. How did we get to this point? What has been done and what can be done to avoid future environmental disasters? Thirty-two contributing chapter authors (among them, one of the principal drafters of the National Environmental Policy Act, Chief of the African Environment Division and the World Bank, Vice President of the Center for Conservation Innovation at the World Wildlife Fund, President of the Zoological Society of London, former President of the Ecological Society of America) use their unique, authoritative perspective to review the evolution of environmental science and policy in the past half century. Each author describes the evolution of environmental science and policy in the past half century and consider the challenges of the future. Although the authors of this book come from various fields, they have followed paths that have generally converged on the concept of sustainability. This book attempts to define what sustainability is, how we can achieve it, and what the prospects for sustainability in the future are.
