描述 | Concepts of ecological integrity have recently been proposed tofacilitate enhanced protection of biological and ecological resourcesagainst the threat of human activities. The promotion of ecologicalintegrity as a basis for public policy and decision making stems fromscientists and others concerned about the threats of human activitiesto ecosystems and species, and from philosophers attempting to derivea more suitable ethic to guide the relationships between humans andthe non-human environment. Although ecological integrity has beenproposed as a norm for public policy and decision making, the conceptis relatively new and therefore the underlying scientific andphilosophical rationales have not been fully developed. This bookoffers a number of perspectives to stimulate and inform futurediscussion on the importance and consequences of ecological integrityfor science, morality and public policy. ..Audience:. Environmental professionals, whether academic,governmental or industrial, or working in the private consultancysector. Also suitable as an upper-level reference text. . |
