"The long-awaited successor to the classic volume Measures of Success, which transformed conservation practices in the early 2000s, Pathways of Success is a modern guide to building large-scale transformative programs that take conservation planning to the next level, just when we need them most. In this delightfully illustrated volume, coauthors Nick Salafsky and Richard Margoluis lay out fundamental concepts of effective program-level design by adapting project-level approaches to meet the needs of large programs. Chapters in the first part of the book look at all aspects of designing and implementing large-scale conservation programs, while the second part focuses on how to use data and information to manage, adapt, and learn from program strategies. In addition, they offer practical advice for avoiding pitfalls that can trip up otherwise well-intentioned efforts. Abundant graphics help to explain and clarify concepts presented in the text; a glossary in the back matter defines technical terms for the reader. Pathways to Success is the definitive guide for conservation program managers and funders who want to increase the scale and effectiveness of their work. Its principles and practices can be readily applied beyond conservation to such fields as public health, human rights, social equity, and economic development"--

De verschillende planten- en diersoorten houden de natuur op aarde in balans. Hoe meer verscheidenheid, hoe rijker de natuur - en die biodiversiteit is nodig om ons ecosysteem goed te laten functioneren. Helaas neemt de biodiversiteit al decennialang schrikbarend af. Maar er is goed nieuws: we kunnen hier gezamenlijk wat aan doen! Je hoeft geen bioloog of ervaren tuinier te zijn en je hoeft zelfs geen tuin te hebben... Iedereen die minimaal een vensterbank of balkonnetje heeft, kan meehelpen om de soortenrijkdom in de natuur te herstellen. Een diner voor regenwormen geeft eenvoudige en duidelijke tips die laten zien hoe jij kan bijdragen aan een betere biodiversiteit, waarvan uiteindelijk de hele aarde zal profiteren!

"Invasive alien species (IAS), introduced intentionally or inadvertently, are one of the main drivers of global environmental change and cause significant ecological and economic damage. IAS threaten biosecurity, human and animal health, ecosystem services and important social aspects of cultures and communities on every continent. Underserved and marginalized peoples are at great risk from alien species invasions. The issue is a global crisis of enormous proportion and has grown insidiously for decades, exacerbated by the globalization of world economies and increased trade and travel. Globally, the concern for IAS varies greatly from nation to nation, and often lacks the level of conscious proactivity necessary to effectively address the threats before they are insurmountable. This is largely due to capacity limitations for most nations and is aggravated by shortage of funds to implement strategies, lack of policies, and variable levels of public awareness and perspectives on risk. Most importantly, IAS is yet to emerge as a priority issue to tackle for most countries although there are some changes visible now. The spread of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19), has rocketed the global biosecurity issue to a new level of consciousness, and perhaps galvanizing the world about the importance of disease pandemics and demonstrating that the IAS threat has so many parallel aspects of risk and spread. Through this publication, we attempt to compile information for a better understanding of the global threat of IAS, the diverse array of issues resultant of invasion, and considerations by decision makers for management. It shares information from every continent on the planet. We also attempt to provide a variety of perspectives, problems, solutions, and considerations relevant to invasions, and help illustrate how a large portion of world nations, cultures, communities, and organizations are struggling with the same issues as their neighbors do against the IAS threat. It thus becomes necessary to highlight the IAS threat in terms of a global 'call to action' at multiple scales and challenge the world to unify and collaborate at all levels"--

Marine ecology is more interdisciplinary, broader in scope, and more intimately linked to human activities than ever before. Ocean Ecology provides advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and practitioners with an integrated approach to marine ecology that reflects these new scientific realities, and prepares students for the challenges of studying and managing the ocean as a complex adaptive system. This authoritative and accessible textbook advances a framework based on interactions among four major features of marine ecosystems-geomorphology, the abiotic environment, biodiversity, and biogeochemistry-and shows how life is a driver of environmental conditions and dynamics. Ocean Ecology explains the ecological processes that link organismal to ecosystem scales and that shape the major types of ocean ecosystems, historically and in today's Anthropocene world.
