Environmental Strategies for a Crowded World by John Merson

Environmental Strategies for a Crowded World by John Merson

Traditional conservation approaches have focused on separating people from nature, most obviously through the establishment of formal protected areas such as national parks. But the real challenge is to reconcile conservation and the sustainable use of environmental resources with people and all the problems they bring. This collection of real-life case studies from around the Asia-Pacific draws on the experiences of a wide range of people who are finding ways to meet that challenge in our increasingly crowded world.

John Merson is a former consultant to the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization; the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation; the International Union for Conservation of Nature; and the Australia Department of Foreign Affairs. He is a former member of the Australian Indonesia Steering Committee on Science and Technology and of the Australia Korea Forum. For his journalistic work, he is the recipient of a United Nations Media Peace Prize. Rosie Cooney is a biodiversity policy and management specialist with 12 years of experience in policy research, analysis, and development, and the chair of the Sustainable Use and Livelihoods Specialist Group. Paul Brown is a geologist, researcher, and teacher. He is a former foundational head of the University of New South Wales School of Humanities, and a former campaign manager for Greenpeace Australia. He coordinates international research programs on waterways and climate change in Australia and Southeast Asia.
