This booklet identifies some of the hidden costs of
unsustainable production, and also considers examples where
conservation management has failed.
The authors argue that sustainable land management is possible,
and that conservation and production interests can be satisfied.
They go on to show how a sustainable approach can be applied
throughout Europe. The approach adopted is the one that has
underpinned the development of the European Union Biodiversity
strategy and is becoming a compelling force for change in Europe's
decision-making processes.
Land managers and planners, ecologists and agriculturalists will, in particular, find this booklet an invaluable resource. However, it will also appeal to those with a more general interest in the issues of land management.
