Biocultural Diversity in Europe

The book collects a selection of the papers presented at the meeting held in the context of the Joint Programme on the Links between Biological and Cultural Diversity (JP-BiCuD). Recognizing the inextricable link between biological and cultural diversity, the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity (SCBD) joined forces, and in 2010 launched the Joint Programme on the Links between Biological and Cultural Diversity (JP-BiCuD). The first meeting for the implementation of the JP-BiCuD was held in Florence (Italy) in April 2014 and produced the UNESCO-sCBD Florence Declaration, which highlights the concept of biocultural diversity. The European rural territory is predominantly a biocultural, multi-functional landscape, providing a crucial and effective space for integration of biological and cultural diversity, suggesting the need to revise some of the current strategies for the assessment and management of biodiversity.

Tree Kangaroos: Science and Conservation
<p><i>Tree Kangaroos: Science and Conservation</i>, a volume in the <i>Biodiversity of the World: Conservation from Genes to Landscapes </i>series, provides an overview of tree kangaroo species and their relationship with humans. This exciting, interdisciplinary work on tree kangaroo science and conservation is divided into six major sections: (1) tree kangaroo evolution, genetics, taxonomy, ecology, behavior, and conservation status&#x3b; (2) current and emerging threats to the species&#x3b; (3) conservation programs in Australia and New Guinea with an emphasis on the human aspect of conservation&#x3b; (4) the role of zoos in conservation solutions&#x3b; (5) techniques and technologies to study this elusive marsupial&#x3b; and (6) what is needed to keep tree kangaroos and their landscapes healthy in the future. </p> <p>The series on <i>Biodiversity of the World: Conservation from Genes to Landscapes</i> includes titles focused on specific species or taxa across disciplinary boundaries and spatial scales--from genes to landscapes.
