This manual provides comprehensive information on the Future Nature: A Vision for Conservation, authored by W.M. Adams and published by Routledge. This revised edition, released on April 26, 2004, offers a detailed exploration of countryside change, conservation achievements, and the economic forces shaping environmental protection. It delves into new conservation ideas, the concept of naturalness, social engagement with nature, biodiversity, and sustainability, highlighting the scientific, cultural, and economic significance of conservation efforts. The core arguments emphasize the need to embrace the entire countryside for conservation, beyond traditional parks and reserves, and to foster new spaces for nature within landscapes, lives, and imaginations.
The purpose of this manual is to serve as an authoritative resource for understanding and advancing conservation practices. It covers a wide array of themes, including the evolution of conservation thinking and its practical applications. The content is designed to inform a broad audience, from students and professionals in environmental fields to policymakers and the general public interested in the future of nature. This 294-page EPUB document, written in English, aims to provide a thorough overview of the subject, encouraging a more integrated and expansive approach to protecting our natural world.
The countryside is changing faster than ever. Fifty years of conservation achievements in the UK are now being confronted by a new complexion of economic forces that are driving change in the countryside. At the same time new ideas in conservation are altering the role that conservation is being asked to play in negotiating the transition from past to future. This revised edition of Bill Adams classic work Future Nature tackles the new challenges in the countryside and wildlife conservation head-on through a new Introduction and Postscript with updated arguments about naturalness and our social engagement with nature, and complemented by a new Foreword by Adrian Phillips. Concepts such as biodiversity and sustainability, and changes in our understanding, appreciation and concern for nature, offer unprecedented opportunities. Bill Adams explores the scientific, cultural and economic significance of conservation. He argues that conservation must move beyond the boundaries of parks and reserves to embrace the whole countryside. The importance of conservation for the future is enormous. It holds the potential to create new spaces for nature, both in the landscape and in our lives and imaginations. This factual, beautifully written and thought-provoking book offers a fundamental reassessment of conservation, its importance, and how to achieve it. Published with BANC
