Tropical Wetland Management (eBook, ePUB)

The South-American Pantanal and the International Experience
Redaktion: Ioris, Antonio Augusto Rossotto

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Recent scientific development and politico-institutional experiences related to the conservation of the South-American Pantanal are explored in this book in relation to what is happening in other tropical wetland areas of international importance such as the Everglades in North America and the Okavango in Africa, as well as considering the European experience. An interdisciplinary group of authors examines the need to establish a constructive dialogue between scientists, policy-makers and local stakeholders and outline a future research agenda, including consideration of the impacts of climate change and the pressures of regional development, for wetland management.
