Awoyemi [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, March 03, 2016 8:04 AM To: [email protected] Subject: {Policy List} Conservation Science & Policy in a Rapidly Changing World Invitation to Contribute Book Chapters: "Conservation Science & Policy in a Rapidly Changing World" Stephen Awoyemi and Dominick DellaSala Description of book The book will document successes, failures and lessons learned in conservation science and policy as it relates to conservation of biodiversity and the environment drawing on examples from around the globe. Statement of the purpose for the book The 21st century presents daunting environmental and sustainability challenges. Global efforts and cooperation by member states of environmental conventions have steadily increased but lack efficient and scalable mechanisms of translating conservation science to policy. The gap between science and policy is growing across biomes and even more so in developing countries where biodiversity is richest and under major threat. Literature documenting requisite information to share lessons learned and capacity in policy engagements is housed in a few seminal journals (e.g., Conservation Letters, Conservation Biology, Ecological Applications) but mostly as closing conservation or management recommendation sections. There is a need to more fully identify successes, failures and scalable lessons in this rapidly growing need for fundamental conservation science and policy integration globally. This book will serve a market need for environmental and conservation scientists, social scientists, economic professionals, sustainable businesses, and policy makers. It is expected that students at the undergraduate and graduate levels will also benefit from this book. Statement about the approach and style of the work The book will present case studies of projects, interventions and initiatives in policy engagements that help to conserve biodiversity and the environment globally. Exemplars of experiences documented will highlight lessons for practitioners in the field. Authors will cut across scientists and practitioners working in the nexus of conservation science and policy. They will show case studies at regional, national and local scales in different parts of the world to enable a global overview (scalability) that is representative of contextual differences, similarities and opportunities to learn and adapt to diverse situations.
