The book centers on documenting current trends and issues in the field of resource use and conservation with the view of emphasizing their benefits to the pursuit of development within the region. By documenting the array of natural resources and environment in Africa, this book addresses the topical knowledge and understanding gaps that characterize conservation (rationale for sustainable resource exploration), utilization patterns, and conservation challenges including policy status, environmental threats, impacts of tourism, reduction in food resources, etc., and their effects on the sustainable development of Africa. Through an integrated approach, the book focuses on below and above-ground biological resources and the diverse scales of environment that characterize Africa. This collection of works is very helpful for natural and social scientists, policymakers, strategists, researchers, government and non-government organizations, biodiversity and environmental managers, climate change scientists, practitioners, activists, conservationists, academics, ecologists, undergraduate and postgraduate students, and others who want to learn about and understand the best way to use and protect Africa's resources and heritage sustainably. 001463464 650_0 $$aSustainable development$$zAfrica. 001463464 650_0 $$aNatural resources$$zAfrica. 001463464 650_0 $$aEnvironmental protection$$zAfrica. 001463464 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001463464 7001_ $$aIzah, Sylvester Chibueze,$$eeditor. 001463464 7001_ $$aOgwu, Matthew Chidozie,$$eeditor. 001463464 77608 $$iPrint version:$$tSustainable utilization and conservation of Africa's biological resources and environment.$$dSingapore : Springer Nature Singapore, 2023$$z9789811969737$$w(OCoLC)1351695705 001463464 830_0 $$aSustainable development and biodiversity (Springer (Firm)) ;$$vv. 888. 001463464 852__ $$bebk 001463464 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-981-19-6974-4$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001463464 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1463464$$pGLOBAL_SET 001463464 980__ $$aBIB 001463464 980__ $$aEBOOK 001463464 982__ $$aEbook 001463464 983__ $$aOnline 001463464 994__ $$a92$$bISE
