Description du livre
This book gathers interdisciplinary reflections from
researchers, educators, and other experts on the subject of biodiversity closer
to education and learning. The book also highlights its role as an added value
to strategic principles for healthy ecosystems and sustainable human
development. It promotes critical thinking and foster practices and attitudes
for Education for Sustainable Development reconciling education with principles
of human behaviour and nature. Readers especially find this book a timely
resource in light of the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011–2020, the Aichi
Targets, and the new EU biodiversity strategy “Our life insurance, our natural
capital: an EU biodiversity strategy to 2020”. Along with the challenge of
ecosystems and public health, biodiversity conservation is essential for
humanity’s continued security and sustainability, as it touches on all aspects
of people’s lives.
