What is Principles of Ecosystem Stewardship : Resilience-Based Natural Resource Management in a Changing World about?
Natural resource management is entering a new era in which rapid environmental and social changes inevitably alter ecosystems and the benefits they provide to society. This textbook provides a new framework for natural resource management—a framework based on stewardship of ecosystems for ecological integrity and human well-being in a world dominated by uncertainty and change. The goal of ecosystem stewardship is to respond to and shape changes in social-ecological systems in order to sustain the supply and availability of ecosystem services by society. The book links recent advances in the theory of resilience, sustainability, and vulnerability with practical issues of ecosystem management and governance. Chapters by leading experts then illustrate these principles in major social-ecological systems of the world. Inclusion of review questions, glossary, and suggestions for additional reading makes __Principles of Ecosystem Stewardship: Resilience-Based Natural Resource Management in a Changing World__ particularly suitable for use in all courses of resource management, resource ecology, sustainability science, and the human dimensions of global change.
