Book
8vo softcover 216pp very good. This was published to stimulate public awareness of and interest in these problems, in the belief that the determination of priorities for species suvival should be based on informed concern by the community as a whole. Although its primary emphasis is on species at risk in Australia, the great diversity of flora, fauna, habitat and risk in this country presents Australian scientists with many opportunities to contribute to international understanding and action on behalf of species at risk.

Book Print on Demand
Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Evolutionary progress has long been associated with the extinction of species. So why should we be concerned now, even when the number of species at risk is substantial, such as one tenth of the Australian flora The reasons for concern are many stranded. Compassion is one strand. Remember the instructions to Noah: 'And you shall bring living creatures of every kind into the ark and keep them alive with you'. Guilt may be another strand, that our hunting, clearing, collecting, pollution, introduction of competitors and other human activities may have endangered species such as the Orange-bellied Parrot. Nostalgia for what was and concern for what might be also play a part; species at risk include some which are of immediate use, such as the whales, and many of potential use, whether drug plants in the forests of the Amazon or a wild relative of the soybean in Victoria. Aesthetic considerations are also involved, particularly where colourful birds or unusual flowers are threatened. We cherish diversity, as culturally desirable, and are delighted when supposedly extinct species such as the notornis and coelacanth - and maybe yet the thylacine - are rediscovered. The Loch Ness monster has already been blessed with a Latin binomial in anticipation! Diversity is also of ecological as well as of cultural value, contributing to the stability of ecosystems, as in the case of insects and birds which fertilize the flowers and disperse the seeds of plants. 228 pp. Englisch.
