Tony Bradshaw, Pioneer in Restoration Ecology, Passes Away
Wednesday, September 17, 2008 12:22:41 PM

In 2006, the Environment Agency published a poll of its top 100 eco-heroes of all time. Next to Charles Darwin was the name of Tony Bradshaw, a pioneer of restoration ecology, who has died aged 82.

SER Briefing Note on the Ecosystem Approach
Friday, May 16, 2008 4:23:02 PM

The Society for Ecological Restoration International (SER) released its May 2008 Briefing Note on the “Opportunities for Integrating Ecological Restoration & Biological Conservation within the Ecosystem Approach” at the Convention on Biological Diversity’s Ninth Conference of the Parties held in Bonn, Germany, May 19-30, 2008

 

The SER Briefing Note states that the Ecosystem Approach, as developed by the CBD and others, provides us with a comprehensive framework where ecological restoration and biological conservation represent key support beams. George Gann, SER’s Chair, argues that “as habitat destruction increases and the effects of climate change continue to accelerate, conservation alone is no longer sufficient in protecting the health and continuity of many species”.
