恢复加勒比海自然

English | 2024 | ISBN: 9781003396321 | 267 pages | True PDF,EPUB | 70.82 MB

The Caribbean is a global biodiversity hotspot; half its resident bird species are found nowhere else, yet, a quarter are threatened with extinction. Nearly all its native amphibians and reptiles and thousands of plants also are endemic. Yet, less than 1% of the landscape can be considered natural; and apart from reserves, most land is privately owned. Despite the challenges of such habitat fragmentation, the Caribbean’s distinctive fauna and flora can be preserved through planning and managing a connected network of sustainable naturalistic landscapes, reserves, parks, and private gardens. This book uniquely provides both a theoretical background and practical applications to restoring nature within the tropical Caribbean. Packed with beautiful color photographs, it offers unifying principles that can be applied across the tropics and synthesizes information on the Caribbean's environmental uniqueness and globally significant biodiversity. It also provides explicit guidance on establishing sustainable and more naturalistic landscapes from large public lands to private yards and gardens.

The book is essential reading for academics and researchers studying the Caribbean environment, resource management professionals, and scientists and.educatos from nongovernmental organizations who provide programs and advocacy for conservation and regional sustainability. Moreover, it highlights the importance of private lands and gardens, where the greatest gains can be made, and so offers a handbook for knowledgeable private landowners and their professional advisors.

英文| 2024 |国际标准图书编号:9781003396321 | 267页|真PDF,EPUB | 70.82 MB 加勒比海是全球生物多样性热点;其一半的留鸟物种在其他地方找不到,但四分之一的鸟类正面临灭绝的威胁。几乎所有的本土两栖动物和爬行动物以及数千种植物都是地方性的。然而,只有不到1%的景观可以被视为自然景观;除了保留地,大部分土地都是私人所有的。尽管存在栖息地碎片化的挑战,但通过规划和管理一个由可持续自然景观、保护区、公园和私人花园组成的互联网络,可以保护加勒比海独特的动植物群。这本书独特地提供了恢复热带加勒比海自然的理论背景和实际应用。它充满了美丽的彩色照片,提供了可以在整个热带地区应用的统一原则,并综合了有关加勒比海环境独特性和全球重要生物多样性的信息。它还为从大型公共土地到私人庭院和花园建立可持续和更自然的景观提供了明确的指导。 这本书是研究加勒比海环境的学者和研究人员、资源管理专业人员以及非政府组织的科学家和教育工作者的必读之作,他们为保护和区域可持续性提供计划和倡导。此外,它强调了私人土地和花园的重要性,在那里可以获得最大的收益,因此为知识渊博的私人土地所有者及其专业顾问提供了一本手册。
