Media reviews
'This book addresses the economic, institutional and social challenges facing scientists and policy makers in conserving biodiversity and ecosystem services that are critical for sustaining human well-being and development' CTA Spore 'What is refreshing is that although there are some examples from Europe and North America, most chapters focus on case studies from underdeveloped countries like Laos, Kenya, India, Philippines and Cameroon.' David Walton, British Ecological Society, 2010.
