Biodiversity conservation and poverty alleviation are both
important societal goals demanding increasing international
attention. While they may seem to be unrelated, the international
policy frameworks that guide action to address them make an
explicit assumption that conserving biodiversity will help to
tackle global poverty. Part of the Conservation Science and
Practice Series published with the Zoological Society of
London, this book explores the validity of that assumption. The
book addresses a number of critical questions:
* Which aspects of biodiversity are of value to the poor?
* Does the relationship between biodiversity and poverty differ
according to particular ecological conditions?
* How do different conservation interventions vary in their
poverty impacts?
* How do distributional and institutional issues affect the
poverty impacts of interventions?
* How do broader issues such as climate change and the global
economic system affect the biodiversity – poverty
relationship at different scales?
This volume will be of interest to policy-makers, practitioners
and researchers concerned with understanding the potential –
and limitations – of integrated approaches to biodiversity
conservation and poverty alleviation.

लेखक के बारे में
Dilys Roe is a senior researcher in IIED’s Natural
Resources Group and leads their work on biodiversity. Since 2004,
Dilys has coordinated the Poverty and Conservation Learning Group –
a network of organisations that is intended to improve dialogue on
poverty-conservation linkages. While the majority of Dilys’ work
focusses on biodiversity-development/conservation-poverty issues,
she also has a research interest in community-based natural
resource management and community-based conservation;
ecosystem-based adaptation and high biodiversity REDD+.
Joanna Elliott is Vice President for Programme Design at
the African Wildlife Foundation and a Visiting Fellow in IIED’s
Natural Resources Group. Joanna has worked extensively in the field
and at policy levels on biodiversity-development linkages, and has
led applied research programmes on land use economics, conservation
enterprise development and measuring the socio-economic impacts of
conservation.
Chris Sandbrook is a Lecturer in Conservation Leadership
at the United Nations Environment Programme World Conservation
Monitoring Centre (UNEP-WCMC). In this role he helps to run the
Masters in Conservation Leadership course at the University of
Cambridge. Chris has diverse research interests, including the
implications of market-based approaches to conservation such as
ecotourism and REDD, the relationship between great ape
conservation and poverty alleviation, and the values held by those
working in conservation.
Matt Walpole is Head of the Ecosystem Assessment
Programme at UNEP-WCMC. In this role Matt oversees a diverse
portfolio focusing on improving the uptake and use of information
on biodiversity and its values, including its role in supporting
livelihoods and poverty alleviation, amongst policymakers.
Matt’s research interests include a focus on
interdisciplinary approaches to conservation research and practice
and exploring the widespread links between poverty and
conservation.
