Identifying and planning green infrastructures at the regional scale can be considered an intentional way of spreading the positive impacts of environmental conservation policies across spatial contexts much more complex and larger than protected areas. In this volume, a methodological approach is defined and experimentally implemented into the Sardinian region (Italy), in order to identify both a regional green infrastructure, and a network of ecological corridors, conceived as edges connecting the regional protected areas. This approach supports spatial decision-making processes aimed at addressing environmental hazards connected to landslides and floods, as well as at establishing effective spatial planning rules.

Warum sollen Menschen die Natur schützen? Soll die Natur in einem bestimmten Zustand erhalten werden oder ist ihrer Entwicklung freier Lauf zu lassen? Bedarf es heute einer neuen Ethik, um die Natur in den Mittelpunkt menschlicher Schutzbemühungen zu rücken oder reichen herkömmliche Begründungen aus? Wie hängen moralische Argumente für den Naturschutz und konkrete Schutzstrategien zusammen? Die bislang vorliegende philosophische Literatur ist wenig hilfreich für die Praxis: wegen ihrer großen Abstraktheit fehlen konkrete Bezüge weitgehend. Wer sich für das Thema Naturschutz und Ethik interessiert, kann sich nun mit der Arbeit von Eser/Potthast einen allgemeinverständlichen Überblick verschaffen. Wissenschaftstheoretische Grundlagen der Ökologie und moralphilosophische Voraussetzungen des Naturschutzes werden hier praxisorientiert dargestellt und an konkreten Beispielen veranschaulicht; zentrale Begriffe und Fragestellungen werden in übersichtlichen Schaubildern erläutert. Der Band richtet sich an alle im Naturschutz Tätigen: sei es in Behörden, in Verbänden, in der Umweltpolitik oder in Naturschutzzentren. Er eignet sich vor allem aber auch hervorragend für Lehrerinnen und Lehrer der Biologie und Ethik.

Perspectives on Nature Conservation demonstrates the diversity of information and viewpoints that are critical for appreciating the gaps and weaknesses in local, regional and hemispheric ecologies, and also for understanding the limitations and barriers to accomplishing critical nature conservation projects. The book is organized to emphasize the linkages between the geographic foci of conservation projects and the biological substances that we conceptualize as "nature", through original research. The reader moves through perspectives of diminishing spatial scales, from smaller to larger landscapes or larger portions of the Earth, to learn that the range of factors that promote or prevent conservation through the application of scholarship and academic concepts change with the space in question. The book reflects disciplinary diversity and a co-mingling of science and social science to promote understanding of the patterns of, pressures on and prospects for conservation.

European ecosystems and species remain under pressure from intensive agriculture and forestry, fishing, pollution, urban sprawl, invasive species and climate change. This book provides a detailed description and critical analysis of nature conservation responses, achievements and failures, motivated by the concerning state of nature and missed biodiversity targets. It summarises Europe's nature and the impact of human activities, and then gives an overview of relevant international biodiversity treaties and the EU nature conservation policy and legislative framework. The core of the book comprises chapters written by national experts, which cover the UK and twenty-five EU Member States, providing comparative case studies from which valuable lessons are drawn. Covering wide-ranging topics such as biodiversity pressures, legislation and governance, biodiversity strategies, species protection, protected areas, habitat management, and funding, this book is of interest to a wide audience, including academics and professionals involved in nature conservation and related environmental fields.
