Aprašymas

Trophic Rewilding: Research, Policy and Practice provides a unique, up-to-date resource for environmental professionals seeking the latest guidance on ecosystem restoration and rewilding. Written and edited by a global team of experts, the book highlights the evidence for trophic interactions that form the basis of rewilding efforts. It demonstrates the importance of such evidence in the development of policy and ground management. Early chapters discuss the scientific, regulatory, economic, and ethical background of trophic rewilding, while latter chapters describe approaches to trophic rewilding in diverse settings and delve into successes and lessons learned from global case studies. With the biodiversity crisis continuing unabated, there are growing calls for new approaches to species and ecosystem recovery in landscapes that have been impacted by human activities. Trophic rewilding is one such approach whereby species reintroductions are used to engender top-down ecological processes and trophic cascades to promote self-regulating biodiverse ecosystems. This book provides the latest updates on the topics presented and is an indispensable resource for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners in rewilding projects and programs, as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students interested in environmental restoration and management.
