本书试图重新定义政府机构、发展援助计划和科学在实现热带发展中国家农村景观更可持续未来方面的作用。科学在解决贫困和环境可持续性这两个相互关联的问题方面面临着重大挑战。这本书回顾了实用科学如何应用于现实生活中的保护和发展问题，旨在揭开自然资源管理有时晦涩难懂的科学的神秘面纱，为那些需要处理管理复杂自然资源系统的日常问题的人解释它。该书回应了《生物多样性公约》、全球环境基金和许多其他国际论坛所表达的需要，这些论坛辩论了保护贫穷国家环境的问题。它为设计和管理养护方案的人提供了实际指导，并表明现在已有新技术，使综合自然资源管理从理论变为现实。全球化对自然环境构成的威胁要求采取综合对策，既能给生活在热带发展中国家的人们带来真实的好处，又能实现全球环境目标。
This book attempts to redefine roles of government agencies, development assistance programmes and science in achieving a more sustainable future of rural landscapes in tropical developing countries. Science faces major challenges in tackling the inter-linked problems of poverty and environmental sustainability. This book reviews how practical science can be applied to real-life conservation and development problems, and aims to demystify the sometimes obscure science of natural resources management, interpreting it for the benefit of those who need to deal with the day-to-day problems of managing complex natural resource systems. The book responds to needs expressed by the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Global Environment Facility and many other international fora where the problems of conserving the environment in poor countries are debated. It gives practical guidance to those who design and manage conservation programmes and demonstrates that new technologies are now available that enable integrated natural resource management to move from a theory to a reality. The threats to the natural environment posed by globalisation require an integrated response that can yield real benefits to those living in tropical developing countries, whilst also achieving global environment objectives.
