Sommario/riassunto |
|
La diversité des êtres vivants est depuis fort longtemps un objet de réflexions scientifiques et philosophiques, mais le mot « biodiversité » est apparu seulement en 1986, rencontrant immédiatement un énorme succès. L'intérêt des biologistes, agronomes, écologues, etc., pour la conservation et la valorisation de la nature a été renouvelé et amplifié par l'adoption consensuelle de l'objet « biodiversité ». Il a également permis une mobilisation inédite des économistes, des gouvernements et des médias. Pourtant, ce terme s'avère fort ambigu et problématique, comme le présent ouvrage s'attache à le démontrer. Malgré toutes les études consacrées à ce sujet, la compréhension de ce qu'est la biodiversité, sa description, et l'établissement de politiques appropriées visant à sa conservation et à son amélioration, restent des tâches toujours en chantier. Cet état de fait n'est pas uniquement imputable à des inerties ou des obstacles politiques et étatiques? ; il est sans doute aussi redevable des insuffisances d'une notion versatile dont, toutefois, on ne saurait se passer, tant est entériné son usage, dans les discours des écologues, des ONG, des États. |
