The Routledge Handbook of Cultural Ecosystem Services

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"Cultural ecosystem services are the glue that binds people and nature together. Charting its way through an important, if often diffusing emerging, field of knowledge, this authoritative handbook will be an essential guide for researchers and practitioners concerned with the cultural dimensions of natural resource management."

Professor Rob Fish, Imperial College London

"The Handbook of Cultural Ecosystem Services is an essential tool to illuminate the vital, yet often overlooked, intangible benefits humans gain from nature. By providing a global perspective and diverse examples, it sets the foundation for future research while offering guidance for integrating culture into environmental policy and practice."

Victoria Reyes-Garcia, ICREA Research Professor at the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology, Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona (ICTA-UAB)

"How do we do conservation differently, to pursue well-being of people and nature together? This rich volume presents a multitude of approaches, tools and perspectives addressing cultural dimensions and meaningful reciprocal human-nature relations as a key way forward. An important resource to guide research, policy and practice."

Maria Tengoe, Professor, Stockholm Resilience Centre, Stockholm University, and the Nature College Special Chair in Human-Nature Relationships in the Anthropocene at Wageningen University

"Extractive, profit-based, relationships between people and nature support our current civilizational crisis. This book offers a refreshing focus on the deeply rooted and very diverse non-material benefits to people from nature across the world. It provides a roadmap to better weave individuals, communities and non-humans through reciprocal and just relations."

Patricia Balvanera, Researcher at the Institute of Research in Ecosystems of the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, and Professor of Biology and Human Well-being
