Dear Tony (and hello to all the great GEP-Ed correspondents) --
For broad and very informative coverage of the biodiversity issues,
to back up the conventions and student research needs, there is a
very good set of volumes:
United Nations Environment Programme, 1995, Global
Biodiversity. Cambridge U. Press. Chapter 13 has thorough review of
"measures for conservation of biodiversity and sustainable use of its
components".
This is very similar to an IPCC volume, with enormous depth and many
contributors.
In response to the lack of coverage of an important set of issues,
see, Cultural and Spiritual Values of Biodiversity - A Complementary
Volume to the Global Biodiversity Assessment, 1999. UNEP and
Intermediate Technology.
Joyous holidays and solstice to all --

Dear GEP-Ed,
To fill in for somebody who became ill, I volunteered to teach a
module this January on international conventions related to climate
and biodiversity. I know painfully little about the latter. Can
anybody suggest some basic introductory and/or interesting readings
on the convention on biodiversity, CITES, and any other related
conventions? I know this is asking a lot, but if people could point
me to their syllabi or readings dealing with the basic issues around
MEAs in general, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!
