Description
At the Earth Summit in Rio in 1992, over 150 nations signed the Convention on Biological Diversity-a record by any standard. Since then, nearly 20 other States have signed the Convention. Over 40 States ratified the Convention became International Environmental Law on 29 December 1993. Widening Perspectives on Biodiversity raises and discusses essential questions related to the Convention on Biological Diversity, Conservation and Use of Genetic Resources, and North-South controversies and North-South controversies and opportunities and provides specific and original answers based on the contributors' own experiences. This book expands the information base on which we ground our conservation response. It is a timely contribution to scientific, technical and socio-economic endeavors aimed at mounting an effective attack on the environmental problem that willmost impoverish our planet, viz., the massive destruction of biodiversity. I warmly recommend it to all who have anything to do with biodiversity that means, whether they realize it or not, every person who breathes.
