Developing countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America are increasingly influenced by humaninduced environmental changes. It is crucial that sustainable development be based on insights into these expanding processesconservation as well as deterioration. Natures Geography offers a new perspective on the geographical nature of these changes. The book reveals how humanenvironment relations must be understood at multiple scales and time frames.Editors Karl S. Zimmerer and Kenneth R. Young have forged an exciting group of case studies from distinguished geographers focusing on high mountains, tropical forests, and lowlands, as well as humid and aridsemiarid landscapes. Each chapter analyzes the implications for meshing environmental protection and sound resource use with development.The case studies evaluate three topics: spatial habitat fragmentation and forest dynamics; disturbances in mountain ecosystems; and the major activities of settled areas, chiefly farming, livestockraising, and forestry. Included are analyses of interactions involving wildlife, such as primates and wild pandas; assessment of fire impacts and roadbuilding; longterm forest management as well as recent techniques; and the role of environmental variation and ecosystem properties in agriculture and rangeland.Natures Geography demonstrates the vital importance of advancing a new approach to geography. This definitive study of landscape change and environmental dynamics will have wide appeal for those interested in geography, ecology, environmental studies, conservation biology, and development studies.
