Vanishing Nature: facing New Zealand’s biodiversity crisis
Marie A Brown, R T Theo Stephens, Raewyn Peart and Bevis Fedder
For a limited time, there is an opportunity to advance purchase the new EDS publication ‘Vanishing Nature: facing New Zealand’s biodiversity crisis’ at a special reduced price of just $35 (RRP $45) + postage and packing.
EDS wants to print the right number of copies so that we use our publication funds efficiently and keep the book price as low as possible. So, to ascertain the level of demand for the book, we are providing the opportunity to advance purchase copies at a substantial discount to the anticipated retail price. This full colour, soft cover publication is suitable for both a general and a technical audience with user friendly language and lots of images.
The book presents an exhaustive analysis of New Zealand’s biodiversity loss and its conservation. The authors argue that the fundamental drivers of harm as well as the barriers to effective protection must be addressed if we are to halt the loss of our native species and ecosystems and maintain our natural capital. This will require novel economic institutions designed to bring private and public interests toward alignment. The book includes a comprehensive suite of strategic, tactical and practical solutions and finishes with a vision and action plan that EDS is committed to champion in the coming years. Biodiversity loss is not inevitable, it is a choice.New Zealand’s remarkable indigenous biodiversity is fragile and it’s in crisis. Our economic institutions promote biodiversity loss by not accounting for environmental costs and our laws and policies are unable to prevent the resulting ongoing losses. The design and implementation of policy and programmes that safeguard ecosystems require both an understanding of political, economic and social factors influencing biodiversity protection as well as being founded on established ecological principles.
The Environmental Defence Society sits at the interface of science and policy, working hard to influence politics and society to establish more effective systems of environmental governance.
This pre-publication purchase offer is available until 15 February after which the normal retail price will kick in. Please order on the link here: Vanishing Nature.
Publication release is expected in March, with advanced purchases receiving first priority.
