Raktažodžiai:

In the 1960s and 1970s, rapidly growing environmental awareness and concern not only led to widespread calls for new policies, but also created unprecedented demand for ecological expertise. This led to novel challenges for advocacy groups such as the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, which had to navigate rival scientific approaches, Cold War politics, and decolonization in their efforts to integrate the study and protection of nature into international policymaking. This book reveals how, despite their vast scientific knowledge and attempts to incorporate socially relevant themes, experts inevitably struggled to make conservation a central part of environmental politics within intergovernmental organizations like the United Nations.

Recenzijos

Schleper provides a complex and detailed historical analysis of the leadership styles, sociopolitical views, and scientific debates associated with conservation organizations and activities during the beginnings of the environmental age (196080). Choice





Altogether, Planning for the Planet is a thorough, satisfying book. It provides necessary insights into the difficult choices environmental policy requires. It leaves one feeling conflicted but not exactly disheartened about the future of planetary ecosystem health Schlepers is a clear-eyed, valuable critique that outlines past lessons and, in doing so, with luck, points to effective strategies for protection moving forward. Ecocene





Planning for the Planet is a substantial achievement and provides an indispensable point of reference for researchers who want to address this and other issues of international environmental policy making. By following the work of the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources) through its formative period, Schleper provides an important addition to both the history of environmental science and the history of global environmental governance.

Planning for the Planet gives an excellent account of the intricate political relations and negotiations of organizations such as the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources. I very much enjoyed reading this book. Sabine Hoehler, KTH Royal Institute of Technology
