 Biodiversity
Loss : Economic and Ecological Issues by
Charles Perrings (Editor), Karl-Goran Maler (Editor), Carl Folke
(Editor).
The book reports the findings of a research
program that brought together economists and ecologists to
consider the causes and consequences of biodiversity loss. It
shows that while the immediate causes of biodiversity loss lie
in habitat destruction and harvesting, the underlying causes are
incentives which encourage resource users to ignore the effects
of their actions. These effects include both loss of genetic
material, and the collapse of ecosystem resilience.
The 'solutions' are argued to lie in the reform of incentives.
