Among today’s many pressing environmental challenges, protecting biodiversity is probably one of the most complex, since it cannot be understood independently of its interactions with the human societies who live with it, use it, manage it, destroy and, occasionally, protect it. As the examples contained herein demonstrate, biodiversity can no longer be confined by narrow academic boundaries. On the contrary, it is a subject inextricably linked with all of the major dynamics, human and non-human, which shape the global and local changes we currently face. In this respect, the present volume is testament to the commitment demonstrated by IRD and its partners to a vision of scientific endeavour which yields tangible, utilisable knowledge for the Global South, sustainability science in the strongest sense of the term, allowing our planet and its biodiversity to thrive in the long term.Environmental StudiesGeographybiodiversityconservationdeforestationnutritionclimate changeglobal healthecologyAfriqueAsieAmérique latinebiodiversityconservationdeforestationnutritionclimate changeglobal healthecologyAfriqueAsieAmérique latineEnvironmental StudiesGeographybiodiversityconservationdeforestationnutritionclimate changeglobal healthecologyAfriqueAsieAmérique latineRodary Estienne1284558Verdier Valerie1307808Agnèse Jean-François1317644Dangles Olivier1333167Rodary Estienne1284558FR-FrMaCLEBOOK9910597170903321Biodiversity in the Global South3061946UNINA
