Críticas:

"Political and natural boundaries generally do not coincide, leading to difficult policy and management dilemmas--and even conflicts--especially when international borders are involved. This pioneering book offers a comprehensive look at the challenges of conserving the interconnected ecosystems and migratory linkages shared by Mexico and the United States. The authors propose path-breaking approaches to overcome these challenges, including the use of the ecosystem service framework. The lessons that emerge from this book are applicable globally." --Harold Mooney, Professor of Environmental Biology, Stanford University, winner of the Tyler Prize for Environmental Achievement and co-chair of the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment's assessment panel.

Reseña del editor:

The United States and Mexico's shared environment extends far beyond the political line. For instance, it comprises the plant and animal species whose natural distributions extend deep into each nation along with the waters in rivers and aquifers that support ecosystem function far removed from the border. Conservation of Shared Environments presents a broad perspective on the ecological, social and political challenges of conserving biodiversity across the U.S.-Mexico border. Covering topics as diverse as wildlife and grassland preservation, water rights, ecosystem services, indigenous peoples, and the ecological consequences of border security, the contributors illustrate collaborative, transboundary efforts to overcome cross-border conservation challenges. This volume offers scientific analysis as well as insight for bridging gaps between researchers, policymakers, and the public.
