"Principles and Practice of Plant Conservation is the first exhaustive and systematic treatment of the issues of plant conservation, other books on the subject having been collections of articles on specialized topics or of a regional nature. This book, growing out of a major sponsorship effort by two of the world's leading conservation organizations to 'assert the fundamental importance of plants in all conservation activities', provides the well-integrated coverage that arises from an expert's thoughtful analysis of the entire subject." "Commissioned by the World Wide Fund for Nature and IUCN - The World Conservation Union as part of their joint endeavor of 'building the capacity to conserve', this work by David R. Given elucidates the concepts that underlie successful conservation efforts. Drawing on his own work and involving international collaboration, the author also presents a large number of real-life case studies that illustrate the principles of conservation in action. Chapters are devoted to the natural - and unnatural - causes of plant rarity and endangerment, and the management of plant populations in natural habitats, in modified landscapes, and off-site to preserve germplasm. Going beyond the biology of conservation, other chapters are devoted to the ethical, educational, and economic aspects of plant conservation. Cyrille de Klemm, an expert on international law, has contributed a chapter on conservation legislation." "Plants play critical roles in the web of life, providing the food and shelter on which animals depend. As human population and development pressures on the world's biota increase, it is in the best interest of all to use plant resources wisely and sustainably. That will be possible only if plant diversity is maintained, and Principles and Practice of Plant Conservation is an essential reference for those concerned with how best to preserve what we have."--Jacket.

Men kent al sinds lang parken en groene zones : zorgvuldig aangelegde en goed bewaakte zones die de monotonie van de bebouwing doorbreken en voor een vleugje «beschaafde» natuur in de stad zorgen. Maar nu pas ontdekt men aan de rand van onze Steden de half-naiuurlijke gebieden die lange tijd werden verwaarloosd en zo een stukje «natuurlijke» natuur in de stad brengen. Biologen wijzen op de rijkdom van nun ecosysteem, op de verscheidenheid van nun fauna en flora. Maar dit boek beoogt een andere vorm van verdediging en waardering van die gebieden. Naast de biologische verscheidenheid moest immers ook de maatschappelijke waarde van die gebieden aan bod kunnen komen : dat is precies de opzet van een diepgaande sociologische analyse waaruit blijkt welke voorstellingen de stadsbewoners zieh van die gebieden maken en welke vormen van gebruik er zieh ontwikkelen. Als unieke bronnen van biologische rijkdom in een stedelijk milieu en als inzet van gebruikte vormen die elkaar soms aanvullen, soms uitsluiten, vragen de half-natuurlijke gebieden om een demoeratisch beheer en om juridische bescherming. Het tweede deel van het boek bestudeert dan ook de mogelijkheden die het beschikbare juridische instrumentarium biedt. Aldus wordt een omkadering gecreeerd die de randgebieden tussen stad en natuur, die nu reeds een belangrijk element vormen van het gemeenschappelijke erfgoed van de stadsbewoners, daadwerkelijke bescherming verzekert. Er werden zes illustrative Brusselse gebieden geselecteerd : de Kauwberg, het Scheutbos, het Moeraske, de Neerpede, het Kattebroeck en het plateau van de Vorsterie. Beide studies werden uitgevoerd op initiatief van het Fonds Leefmilieu van de Koning Boudewijnstichting.
