What is Capturing carbon and conserving biodiversity: the market approach edited by Ian R. Swingland, 2003. Royal Society–Earthscan, 392 pp. ISBN 1 85383 9507 (hbk) 1 85383 9515 (pbk) about?

The idea that forest conservation can work without taking into account the needs of people is long gone. Market-based mechanisms for forest conservation aim at changing environmental protection from command and control practices to directions where forest conservation can pay for itself. The most explored markets for forest environmental services include biodiversity (i.e. paying for the value of a threatened species), landscape beauty (i.e. paying for higher entrance fees to national parks), watershed protection (i.e. developing incentives for upstream water users) and carbon sequestration, the focus of this book. Professor Ian Swingland has compiled contributions from a range of authors with backgrounds across many disciplines. The chapters tackle issues such as governance, social capital, climate change, the Kyoto Protocol, carbon accounting, the convergence of environmental and financial markets, among others. The contributions are divided into three subject areas: carbon and climate change, environmental services and future models for biodiversity protection. Chapter 3 is of particular interest to readers seeking an understanding of the free-market approach to climate change a
