  • af Harold Brookfield
    517,95 - 1.297,95 kr.

    Small farmers are often viewed as engaging in wasteful practices that wreak ecological havoc. Exploring Agrodiversity sets the record straight: Small farmers are in fact ingenious and inventive and engage in a diverse range of land-management strategies, many of them resourcefully geared toward conserving resources, especially soil. They have shown considerable resilience in the face of major onslaughts against their way of life by outsiders and government.Using case studies from Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Pacific, this book provides in-depth analysis of agricultural diversity and explores its history. The book also considers the effect of the "e;gene revolution"e; on small farmers and reviews the effects of the "e;green revolution"e; in Asian countries. In conclusion, it questions whether the diverse agricultural practices employed by small farmers can survive modern pressures and the global ambitions of the biotechnology industry.

  • - Mating and Conservation in Small Populations
    af Carol Cunningham
    1.073,95 kr.

    This examination of a depopulated species, the North American bison, provides insights into the past and present behaviour and ecology of what was once the continent's largest terrestrial mammal. It discusses the consequences of mating failures, morphological anomalies and birth synchrony.

  • - Corridors as a Strategy for Biodiversity Conservation
    af Anthony Anderson & Clinton (Duke University) Jenkins
    580,95 - 1.188,95 kr.

    The fragmenting of habitats is endangering animal populations. To address this problem, conservationists have turned to biological corridors, areas of land set aside to facilitate movement of species and ecological processes. This book offers an overview of knowledge on corridors, their design, and their implementation.

  • - Small Farmers and Land Clearing in the Ecudorian Amazon
