But this is not the whole story. This book develops a different perspective on the problem by exploring the conceptual challenges and practical defiance posed by conserving biodiversity, namely: on the one hand, the difficulties in defining what biodiversity is and characterizing that “thing” to which the word ‘biodiversity’refers to; on the other hand, the reasons why assessing biodiversity and putting in place effective conservation actions is arduous.. | 出版日期 | Book‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘ 2019 | 关键词 | Biodiversity Conservation Policies; Biodiversity Definition; Biodiversity Levels; Biodiversity Represen | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-10991-2 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-10991-2Series ISSN 2211-1948 Series E-ISSN 2211-1956 | issn_series | 2211-1948 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2019 |
