This edited volume assembles some of the most intriguing voices in modern conservation biology. Collectively they highlight many of the most challenging questions being asked in conservation science today, each of which will benefit from new experiments, new data, and new analyses. The book's principal aim is to inspire readers to tackle these uncomfortable issues head-on. A second goal is to be reflective and consider how the field has reacted to challenges, and to what extent these challenges advance conservation science. A concluding chapter will synthesize common themes that emerge from the experiences of the authors in these debates and discuss how best to guard against confirmation bias. The hope is that this book will lead to greater conservation of ecosystems and biodiversity by harnessing the engine of constructive scientific scepticism in service of better results.--

This report is a socioeconomic and political analysis of environmental sustainability in terms of the present state of the environment, what we can do to reverse the negative trends, and what the current and potential barriers are. First, it offers a background of the issue through a historical perspective. How we got here has a lot to do with how previous generations behaved towards the environment. Similarly, how we behave will determine the kind of environment future generations will have to contend with. It looks at the dynamics likely to impact the balance of nature. Also, because understanding what is biodiversity and why is it important are essential in order to grasp the concept of sustainability, this report looks at the types of ecosystems that form the biosphere and brings an answer to this important question, “Is the Maximum sustainable yield (MSY) concept a fallacy?” Moreover, the importance of cities is a key factor in environmental sustainability. So, the report shows the pros and cons of cities in both the preservation of the environment and the conservation of its biodiversity. The social, economic, and political analyses use the latest data and views from experts, scientists, and scholars alike and also the views of the common people. The result is that all three levels have positives and negatives and so, none of them should be individually prioritized over the other two. To tackle this dilemma, the report offers an alternative: an inclusive, pluralistic, and global approach which aims at motivating all stakeholders – from rich and poor countries – and people from all walks of life to work together towards a common goal and common interests. Such an approach, says the report should be bottom-up instead of top-down, that is, the needs of local populations, especially those closer to biodiversity, must come first before those of large corporations. However, while in the present and short terms, this approach may be successful, in the long term or a distant future, there are reasons to be skeptical for the environment is constantly changing and generations are different from one another. And that is very important because what constitutes the cornerstone of environmental sustainability is this: the present use of natural resources should not be harmful to future generations. Therefore, the report looks into the future. While acknowledging that, in terms of environmental sustainability, predicting the future is a daunting task – because it is better to think that the future is now – the report shows how we can prepare a soft landing for our great grand-children by laying the groundwork for them. We can accomplish this last task because we still have time.

Salade de papaye ou pizza ? Les Laotiens peuvent désormais choisir parmi une offre variée de mets « traditionnels » ou internationaux, à condition toutefois d’habiter en ville et de disposer de revenus suffisants. Ils entrent de plain-pied dans une société de consommation globalisée. En plein essor économique, le Laos vit une période charnière, en ce début du XXIe siècle. Les évolutions des modes de vie, de l’agriculture, du commerce et de la distribution, ou encore des médias et des réseaux sociaux, entraînent des changements alimentaires, tant sur le plan des pratiques que sur celui des représentations. L’analyse des modalités, des causes et des conséquences de ces transformations met en lumière l’importance de facteurs économiques, sociaux et culturels. Elle fait ressortir les spécificités du Laos, mais aussi ses points communs avec les autres pays qui connaissent ces mutations alimentaires. Pour cela, l’auteure mobilise la notion de « transition alimentaire », comme cadre conceptuel pour analyser les changements alimentaires de la population laotienne, mais s’en affranchit aussi pour effectuer une observation plus fine de l’alimentation dans toutes ses dimensions, à l’échelle des familles comme des individus. Elle aborde les questions de la diversification alimentaire, de l’occidentalisation de l’alimentation, du lien entre le local et le global, de la résilience et de l’adaptation. L’ouvrage s’intéresse à tous les maillons de la chaîne alimentaire, de la production agricole à la consommation, en passant par le commerce et la restauration hors foyer. Il explore les représentations de l’alimentation dans l’éducation, dans le système de santé, dans les projets de développement. Par une approche d’ensemble des évolutions de la vie quotidienne en milieu urbain, il appréhende les changements alimentaires dans leur interaction avec les autres mutations de la société.

Ce rapport est une analyse socio-économique et politique de la viabilité environnementale en termes d’état actuel de l’environnement, de ce que nous pouvons faire pour inverser les tendances négatives et des obstacles actuels et potentiels. Premièrement, il offre un contexte de la question dans une perspective historique. La manière dont nous sommes arrivés là a beaucoup à voir avec le comportement des générations précédentes vis-à-vis de notre environnement. De la même manière, notre comportement déterminera le type d’environnement auquel les générations futures devront faire face. Il examine les dynamiques susceptibles de perturber l'équilibre de la nature. En outre, comme il est essentiel de comprendre la biodiversité et pourquoi elle est importante afin de saisir le concept de viabilité, le présent rapport examine les types d’écosystèmes qui composent la biosphère et apporte une réponse à cette question importante: « Le rendement équilibré maximal (RÉM) est-il une notion fallacieuse? » De plus, l’importance des villes est un facteur clé de la viabilité environnementale. Le rapport montre donc les avantages et les inconvénients des villes en matière de préservation de l’environnement et de conservation de la biodiversité. Les analyses sociale, économique et politique utilisent les dernières données et opinions d’experts, de scientifiques et d’érudits, ainsi que ceux de Monsieur et Madame tout le monde. Le résultat est que les trois niveaux ont des aspects positifs et négatifs et que, par conséquent, aucun d'entre eux ne doit être priorisé individuellement par rapport aux deux autres. Pour résoudre ce dilemme, le rapport propose une alternative: une approche inclusive, pluraliste et globale qui vise à motiver toutes les parties prenantes – des pays riches et pauvres – et des personnes de tous les horizons à œuvrer de concert pour un objectif commun et des intérêts communs. Selon le rapport, une telle approche devrait être ascendante et non descendante, c'est-à-dire que les besoins des populations locales, en particulier de ceux qui vivent plus près de la biodiversité, doivent primer sur ceux des grandes entreprises. Cependant, bien qu’à l'heure où l'on parle et à court terme, cette approche puisse réussir, à long terme ou dans un avenir lointain, il y a lieu de douter car l’environnement est en constante évolution et les générations diffèrent les unes des autres. Et cela est très important car ce qui constitue la pierre angulaire de la viabilité environnementale est ceci: l’utilisation actuelle des ressources naturelles ne devrait pas nuire aux générations futures. Par conséquent, le rapport se penche sur l'avenir. Tout en reconnaissant qu'en termes de viabilité environnementale, prédire l'avenir est une tâche ardue – car il vaut mieux penser que l'avenir est maintenant – le rapport montre comment nous pouvons préparer un atterrissage en douceur pour nos arrière-petits-enfants en jetant les bases pour eux. Nous pouvons accomplir cette dernière tâche car nous avons encore du temps.
