Species-based indicators of biodiversity change -- pt. 2. Indicators of the pressures on biodiversity -- pt. 3. The next generation of biodiversity indicators -- pt. 4. Biodiversity monitoring in practice.As the impacts of anthropogenic activities increase in both magnitude and extent, biodiversity is coming under increasing pressure. Scientists and policy makers are frequently hampered by a lack of information on biological systems, particularly information relating to long-term trends. Such information is crucial to developing an understanding as to how biodiversity may respond to global environmental change. Knowledge gaps make it very difficult to develop effective policies and legislation to reduce and reverse biodiversity loss. This book explores the gap between global commitments to biodiversity conservation, and local action to track biodiversity change and implement conservation action. High profile international political commitments to improve biodiversity conservation, such as the targets set by the Convention on Biological Diversity, require innovative and rapid responses from both science and policy. This multi-disciplinary perspective highlights barriers to conservation and offers novel solutions to evaluating trends in biodiversity at multiple scales.Conservation science and practice series ;no. 13BiodiversityMonitoringBiodiversity conservationBiodiversityMonitoring.Biodiversity conservation.333.95/16Collen Ben1714983MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910809350303321Biodiversity monitoring and conservation4109210UNINA
