Sinopsis

Ecosystem Services Framework explores the integration of nature's benefits into legal and policy mechanisms to promote conservation and sustainable development. It addresses how crucial services like clean water, pollination, and climate regulation are often overlooked in economic decisions, leading to environmental degradation. The book argues for a robust legal framework that assigns economic value and establishes clear rights and responsibilities for ecosystem protection, highlighting that assigning value can transform conservation efforts.

 
The book delves into compensation schemes like Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) and biodiversity offsets, scrutinizing their legal challenges, equity, and long-term effectiveness through global case studies. It also examines integrating ecosystem services into land-use planning, emphasizing ecosystem-based adaptation to climate change and sustainable resource management.

 
Finally, the framework explores the legal recognition of ecosystem services as property rights, addressing the complexities of defining and enforcing these rights in shared and transboundary ecosystems. The book progresses by first providing a historical and scientific context to the topic. It then moves into an analysis of compensation schemes and land-use planning policies, and concludes by exploring the legal recognition of ecosystem services as property rights. This academic approach provides a balanced analysis of the legal, economic, and ecological dimensions of ecosystem service frameworks, acknowledging debates surrounding ecosystem service valuation and potential unintended consequences.

Power in the Wild - The Subtle...

Lee Alan Dugatkin

The quest for power in animals is so much richer, so much more nuanced than who wins what knock-down, drag-out fight. Indeed, power struggles among animals often look more like an opera than a boxing match. Tracing the path to power for over thirty different species on six continents, writer and behavioral ecologist Lee Alan Dugatkin takes us on a journey around the globe, shepherded by leading researchers who have discovered that in everything from hyenas to dolphins, bonobos to field mice, cichlid fish to cuttlefish, copperhead snakes to ravens, and meerkats to mongooses, power revolves around spying, deception, manipulation, forming and breaking up alliances, complex assessments of potential opponents, building social networks, and more. Power pervades every aspect of the social life of animals: what they eat, where they eat, where they live, whom they mate with, how many offspring they produce, whom they join forces with, and whom they work to depose. In some species, power can even change an animal's sex. Nor are humans invulnerable to this magnificently intricate melodrama: Dugatkin's tales of the researchers studying power in animals are full of unexpected pitfalls, twists and turns, serendipity, and the pure joy of scientific discovery.
