Recenzii

'Brings together a diverse range of expertise to address the economic, social and institutional challenges confronting policy makers in the conservation of biodiversity and maintenance of ecosystem services. The empirical evidence of the linkages between biodiversity conservation and livelihoods that the case studies provide will be of considerable interest to policy makers.' – C. S. Srinivasan, Experimental Agriculture, 2012.
'Chapters cover everything from single species to small human communities, to watersheds, to large ecosystems not confined to a single nation. Methods include contingent valuation and willingness to pay (not neglecting their drawbacks), game theory, case studies, trend analysis, and complex modeling. However, this description does not mean that the book is a jumble of unrelated articles. The selection of articles allows broad coverage of the topic and progresses logically through sections on valuation, governance, intellectual property rights, and climate change. Some of the examples show the clear relationships between policy, economics, culture, and institutions, avoiding the myopic view of a topic that is too common in edited works. Most chapters are jargon free and written so that one need not be a specialist in a particular field in order to understand and appreciate the research. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduate through professional collections.' –  B. D. Orr, Michigan Technological University, USA in Choice, 2009.
'What is refreshing is that although there are some examples from Europe and North America, most chapters focus on case studies from underdeveloped countries like Laos, Kenya, India, Philippines and Cameroon.' – David Walton, British Ecological Society, 2010.
