Beschreibung:
This compact and elegant work (equally fitting for both academic as well as the trade audiences) provides a readily accessible and highly readable overview of Bhutan¿s unique opportunities and challenges; all her prominent environmental legislation, regulatory statutes, ecological customs and practices, both in historic and contemporary terms. At the same time, Bionomics places the ecological context, including a section on animal rights in Bhutan, within the nation¿s Buddhist spiritual and ethical setting. Historic contextualization accents the book¿s rich accounting of every national park and scientific reserve, as well as providing up-to-the-minute climate-change related hurdles for the country.
Contains unique concordance of color photographs from multilateral agencies, Bhutanese NGOs, and photographers who have unique access to data collections, night camera points, and military and political vantage points which enable the gathering of rare imagery
