| Итог: | "This book presents a broad array of global case studies exploring the interaction between religion and the conservation of nature, reflecting on both successes and failures from the viewpoints of the religious practitioners themselves. With conservation and religion often being championed as allies in the quest for a sustainable world where humans and nature flourish in harmony, this book provides a much needed compendium of detailed examples where religion and conservation science have been brought together. Case studies cover a variety of religions, faiths and practicies, including traditional, Indigenous, Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Jain, Judiasm, Shinto, and Zoroastrianism. Importantly, this volume gives voice to the religious practitioners and adherents themselves, where they discuss their personal motivation as conservationists and how religion energises their commitment to the conservation of other species and ecosystems. Beyond an exercise in anthropology, ethnobiology and comparative religion, the book is an applied work, seeking the answer to how in a world of more than seven billion people we might help our own species to prevent the extinction of life. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of nature conservation, environment and religion, cultural geography and ethnobiology, as well as practitioners and professionals working in conservation"-- |
