It integrates the themes of natural and artificial selection, the characteristics of historic ?revolutions?, and directed versus random change. Inspiring community-based projects, mainly from the developing world, show how ecosystem regeneration uplifts human livelihoods in a positively reinforcing cycle, embodying lessons germane to co-creating a Symbiocene era wherein humanity?s substantial influence (the Anthropocene) achieves increasing symbiosis with the natural processes shaping the former Holocene epoch. The Ecosystems Revolution provides practical, positive examples, highlighting the attainability of an ?ecosystems revolution?. Dr Mark Everard is Associate Professor of Ecosystem Services at the University of the West of England (UWE) Bristol, UK, as well as a broadcaster and author of many books, magazine features and scientific publications about ecosystems, sustainability, water and wetlands including their sustainable use, conservation and fish fauna. 606 $aEnvironmental sociology 606 $aEnvironmental geography 606 $aEnvironmental management 606 $aEcosystems 606 $aEnvironmental Sociology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22160 606 $aEnvironmental Geography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J19010 606 $aEnvironmental Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U17009 606 $aEcosystems$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L1904X 615 0$aEnvironmental sociology. 615 0$aEnvironmental geography. 615 0$aEnvironmental management. 615 0$aEcosystems. 615 14$aEnvironmental Sociology. 615 24$aEnvironmental Geography. 615 24$aEnvironmental Management. 615 24$aEcosystems. 676 $a333.7 700 $aEverard$b Mark$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0857936 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910253349803321 996 $aThe Ecosystems Revolution$92523053 997 $aUNINA
