Abstract

"Les changements géophysiques et la crise biologique planétaires en cours sont autant de facteurs de bouleversements géopolitiques rapides, massifs et brutaux. Un nouveau paysage géopolitique et stratégique émerge, marqué par la combinaison du changement climatique et de ses effets systémiques, telles les migrations de masse, la compétition mondiale pour les ressources et la crise des régimes contemporains. Où les politiques de Trump, de Poutine et de la Chine mènent-elles la planète ? Comment l’épuisement des océans alimente-t-il la piraterie maritime ? Comment le réchauffement de l’Arctique est-t-il exploité par certains intérêts tandis qu’il constitue une immense catastrophe pour des milliards d’humains ? Quelles régions ont-elles les meilleurs atouts pour traverser le XXIe siècle ? L’auteur, spécialiste de géopolitique, nous fait comprendre les liaisons dangereuses entre puissance économique, guerre et environnement. Il nous alerte sur les dangers, les violences et les barbaries qui se profilent. Le moment du choix collectif entre la « guerre de tous contre tous » sur une planète effondrée ou une alliance stratégique mondiale pour répondre aux nouveaux défis planétaires approche à grands pas."--Back cover.

Abstract

The world is losing species and biodiversity at an unprecedented rate. The causes go deep and the losses are driven by a complex array of social, economic, political and biological factors at different levels. Immediate causes such as over-harvesting, pollution and habitat change have been well studied, but the socioeconomic factors driving people to degrade their environment are less well understood. This book examines the underlying causes. It provides analyses of a range of case studies from Brazil, Cameroon, China, Danube River Basin, India, Mexico, Pakistan, Philippines, Tanzania and Vietnam, and integrates them into a new and interdisciplinary framework for understanding what is happening. From these results, the editors are able to derive policy conclusions and recommendations for operational and institutional approaches to address the root causes and reverse the current trends. It makes a contribution to the understanding of all those - from ecologists and conservationists to economists and policy makers - working on one of the major challenges we face.

Abstract

The flora and fauna of Southeast Asia are exceptionally diverse. The region includes several terrestrial biodiversity hotspots and is the principal global hotspot for marine diversity, but it also faces the most intense challenges of the current global biodiversity crisis. Providing reviews, syntheses and results of the latest research into Southeast Asian earth and organismal history, this book investigates the history, present and future of the fauna and flora of this bio- and geodiverse region. Leading authorities in the field explore key topics including palaeogeography, palaeoclimatology, biogeography, population genetics and conservation biology, illustrating research approaches and themes with spatially, taxonomically and methodologically focused case studies. The volume also presents methodological advances in population genetics and historical biogeography. Exploring the fascinating environmental and biotic histories of Southeast Asia, this is an ideal resource for graduate students and researchers as well as environmental NGOs.
