Dans le contexte actuel de crise économique et sociale, parler de Nature peut passer pour de l'inconscience ou de la provocation. Pourtant, l'édifice humain tout entier repose sur la Nature, dont la biodiversité est l'un des visages. Et la Vie sur notre planète nous offre l'exemple même d'un développement durable dont nos entreprises pourraient bien s'inspirer. Car ce n'est qu'en prenant en compte l'ensemble de la biosphère que nous pourrons espérer comprendre comment, devant les dangers que court l'humanité de son propre fait, il lui est possible de redresser la barre. Dans cette perspective, il est nécessaire que l'écologie et l'économie s'allient pour que la première devienne plus réaliste et la seconde plus humaine. À cette fin, ce livre associe les regards et les compétences du naturaliste et de l'anthropologue.

In recent years, there has been a marked proliferation in the literature on economic approaches to ecosystem management, which has created a subsequent need for real understanding of the scope and the limits of the economic approaches to ecosystems and biodiversity. Within this Handbook, carefully commissioned original contributions from acknowledged experts in the field address the new concepts and their applications, identify knowledge gaps and provide authoritative recommendations. The Handbook offers a wealth of case studies and further: identifies the conceptual underpinnings of the economics of ecosystems and biodiversity, demonstrates new research methodologies and their applications, provides authoritative assessment of the recent results and findings in ecosystems services and biodiversity valuation and accounting, provides the reader with the state of the art of the research on the economics of ecosystem services and biodiversity, provides spatial explicit tools for mapping ecosystem services values for land-use planning, including in the context of business and industry. This authoritative assessment will appeal to researchers and academics at both the advanced undergraduate and post-graduate levels of environmental economics and ecological economics. Policy-makers in government, business and conservation sectors will find much to engage them as the work will prove essential for implementing effective response policies for the management of ecosystems and biodiversity.
