{"product_id":"conservation-in-a-crowded-world-john-merson-9781742233451","title":"Conservation in a Crowded World: Case Studies from the Asia-Pacific","description":"In an increasingly crowded world, reconciling environmental \"conservation\" with the \"sustainable use\" of natural resources is a great challenge. Nature conservation has traditionally focused on protecting iconic and important areas of biodiversity from human exploitation through the establishment of National Parks and World Heritage Areas. However, while this is essential, a narrow focus on protected area conservation risks overlooking local needs in areas where people and natural systems must coexist. Combining scholarly research with stories from real people in the field, this book addresses some key questions for the sustainable use of natural environments, including \u003ci\u003eWhat should be conserved and who decides?\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eAre tradeoffs between conservation and development necessary?\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eHow are those those elusive \"win-win\" solutions unearthed?\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Merson,Rosie Cooney,Paul Brown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1742233457\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781742233451\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of New South Wales Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.10w x 1.30d","brand":"John Merson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440006115583,"sku":"9781742233451","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5b797431-a5d8-4ff5-8efa-6a131d2376c0.jpg?v=1777180072","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/conservation-in-a-crowded-world-john-merson-9781742233451","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
