Re: biodiversity conventions

[John Wiener]

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 --

MEAs in general, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

Two recent good books are Cambridge's Biodiversity Conservation, Law and
Livelihoods: Bridging the North-South Divide (2007) and Environmental Policy
Instruments for Conserving Global Biodiversity (Springer 2007). Louka's
Biodiversity and Human Rights (2002) is also good. wil

Tony:

 

Simon Lyster's book _International Wildlife Law_ (Grotius Publications,
1985) is the best historical overview, though it has nothing on the CBD or
anything else more recent than its publication date.

 

Cheers,
