This edited work brings out a comprehensive collection of information on Potentials, Threats and Conservation of Biodiversity in Africa. The main focus of this book is to address the sustainability of Biodiversity of Africa. Biodiversity are organisms that typically have life and possess the characteristics of living things. The biodiversity is being affected by human activities as well as natural effects. This in turn is affecting the uses of biodiversity which are mainly food and medicine. Therefore it will be useful to point possible means of conserving biodiversity of African so as to enhance the sustainability of their uses especially in Africa. This book is of interest and useful to biodiversity experts, policy makers, conservationists and industries interested in biodiversity conservation of native flora and fauna in the area. It will also be useful to environmental and agricultural scientists, foresters, horticulturists, ecologists, and valuable source of reference to the relevant researchers and students (undergraduate and Post graduate) in the region. .

Long description: Eine Million Arten sind in den nächsten Jahren vom Aussterben bedroht. Immer wieder bekräftigen die Vereinten Nationen und Regierungen, die Biodiversität schützen zu wollen. Doch die politischen Ziele werden immer wieder verfehlt. Kann der Schutz der Biodiversität juristisch erzwungen werden? Dazu wurde schon vor Jahrzehnten die Idee eines Klagerechtes für Tiere und Ökosysteme entwickelt. Auch aktuell fordern NGOs und Jurist:innen das Konzept der »Natur als Rechtsperson«. Ist eine solche Weiterentwicklung des Rechts möglich und kann sie Biodiversität schützen? Die Autorinnen und Autoren führen Einsichten aus Ethik, Biologie, den Sozial- und Rechtswissenschaften zusammen: Wie kann man Rechte der Natur begründen? Wie sehen sozialökologische Beispiele aus, in denen Biodiversität und menschliche Ressourcennutzung nicht in Konkurrenz zueinander treten? Was wären die gesellschaftlichen Konsequenzen, wenn Rechte der Natur anerkannt würden? Biographical note: Frank Adloff ist Professor für Soziologe, insbesondere Dynamiken und Regulierung von Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft, an der Universität Hamburg und Co-Direktor der DFG-Kolleg-Forschungsgruppe »Zukünfte der Nachhaltigkeit«. Tanja Busse, Dr. phil., ist Autorin und Moderatorin und Fellow als »Writer in Residence« an der DFG-Kolleg-Forschungsgruppe »Zukünfte der Nachhaltigkeit«.

Declines and losses of insects throughout the world have wide ramifications for the sustainability of terrestrial and inland water ecosystems, and for humanity. Those changes are complex and confusing to quantify and evaluate as bases for assessing needs and priorities for conservation. Australia's insect fauna is taxonomically and ecologically diverse, highly endemic (and, so, unique) and also very imperfectly known, so that establishing numerical and distributional templates for insect diversity against which to measure changes must generally rely on very incomplete information - but aided by awareness of a number of clearly threatened species and evidence that profound changes to natural habitats from human activities continue. This book explores the major themes and problems in facilitating and expanding insect conservation interest and practice in Australia, through discussing how diversity may be evaluated, how changes might occur and the global significance of Australia's insects, as prelude to outlining practical conservation measures that must be pursued with incomplete documentation and understanding of the fauna. Insect conservation studies and examples (with extensive references given) from many parts of the world are discussed to display how progress may be increased in Australia. Themes such as focus on particular taxa or sites, habitat restoration and protected areas, threat recognition and alleviation, education and citizen science, attention to wider landscape/ecosystem protection, and honing conservation policy to increase attention to insects, are all integral components of developing measures to protect Australia's insect heritage. They are discussed in the context of increasing awareness of insect diversity and understanding the richness and vulnerability of numerous native taxa and their restricted environments.

This book provides, for the first time, a comprehensive overview of the fundamental roles that ecological interactions play in extinction processes, bringing to light an underground of hidden pathways leading to the same dark place: biodiversity loss. We are in the midst of the sixth mass extinction. We see species declining and vanishing one after another. Poached rhinos, dolphins and whales slaughtered, pandas surviving only in captivity are strong emotional testimonials of what is happening. Yet, the main threat to natural communities may be overshadowed by the disappearance of large species, with most extinctions happening unnoticed and involving less eye-catching organisms, such as parasites and pollinators. Ecosystems hide countless, invisible wires connecting organisms in dense networks of ecological interactions. Through these networks, perturbations can propagate from one species to another, producing unpredictable effects. In worst case scenarios, the loss of one species might doom many others to extinction. Ecologists now consider such mechanisms as a fundamental - and still poorly understood - driver of the ongoing biodiversity crisis. Hidden Pathways to Extinction makes the invisible links connecting the fates of species and organisms evident, exploring why complexity can enhance ecosystem stability and yet accelerate species loss. Page after page, Strona provides convincing evidence that we are primarily responsible for the fall in biodiversity, that we are falling too, and that we need to redouble our conservation efforts now, or it won't be long before we hit the ground.
