The Ecosystems Revolution

Zusatztext

This book explores humanitys relationship with the natural world throughout evolutionary history, and the need to reorient this onto a symbiotic basis. It integrates the themes of natural and artificial selection, the characteristics of historic revolutions, and directed versus random change. Inspiring community-based projects, mainly from the developing world, show how ecosystem regeneration uplifts human livelihoods in a positively reinforcing cycle, embodying lessons germane to co-creating a Symbiocene era wherein humanitys substantial influence (the Anthropocene) achieves increasing symbiosis with the natural processes shaping the former Holocene epoch.<i>The Ecosystems Revolution </i>provides practical, positive examples, highlighting the attainability of an ecosystems revolution.
