Recovering Caribbean Nature
The Caribbean is one of the world’s most important biodiversity hotspots but the environmental situation has changed dramatically during 500 years of European dominance as intensive colonial agriculture and ensuing development devastated the pre-existing environment. Only 1% of the Caribbean landscape can be considered natural today, but more recent experience has shown that Caribbean lands released from intensive use have regenerative capacities. This book is designed to help government entities, non-profit organizations, businesses, private citizens, and all interested to restore the Caribbean’s unique nature. It’s almost here! To be published by CRC Press on October 28, 2024. See the Publisher’s website for further details.
