tailieunhanh - Handbook of Alien Species in Europe

Among the 22 indicators that underpin the international target to ‘reduce the rate of loss of biodiversity’ is one covering trends in invasive alien species. This Handbook, the fruit of a three year European Union-funded project, will make a significant contribution to a wider understanding of these trends as they relate to the continent of Europe. In doing so it will assist countries, including governments; business and industry; academia and civil society to deliver on commitments under the UNEP Convention on Biological Diversity as well as those emerging from such fora as the World Summit on Sustainable Development held in Johannesburg in 2002 | Handbook of Alien Species in Europe DAISIE Invading nature springer series in invasion ecology 3 Springer Handbook of Alien Species in Europe INVADING NATURE SPRINGER SERIES IN INVASION ECOLOGY Volume 3 Series Editor JAMES A.
