520 | _aChanges in the physical environment have created a new political challenge, that is, the question of how to deal with the maintenance of the world's basic stock of natural capital. Global Environmental Issues presents a comprehensive and simulating introduction to the key environmental issues presently threatening our global environment. Offering an authoritative introduction to the key topics, a source of latest environmental information, and an innovative stimulus for debate, this book serves for all those studying or concerned with global environmental issues. Biodiversity is under considerable threat. Habitat alteration, biological invasions, over exploitation, pollution and climate change are having large impacts. Although various international policy instruments have been adopted in an attempt to stem this tide of change, their success has been limited. Despite the positive role of protected areas, biodiversity continues to decline. Habitat transformation is abated only to the extent that some habitats can no longer be much transformed because so little of them now exist. | ||
