Product Description
Product Description
The maintenance of the world's rich variety of plants, animals, microorganisms and ecosystems has at last been recognized as a critical need for mankind's survival and prosperity. The issue is no longer the concern of a small group of nature conservationists, but has entered the agendas of major organizations such as the World Bank, the Brundtland Commission, the World Health Organization and FAO. South African scientists and administrators have a unique resource of information, understanding and experience in the field of biotic diversity management. This volume assesses the conservation status of southern African biota and ecosystems, the value of biotic diversity to southern African people, and approaches to the evaluation, protection and monitoring of biotic diversity in the region.
