Ministerial Council

This volume is the result of an initiative by the Natural Resources Management Ministerial Council, to assess the vulnerability of Australia?s biodiversity to climate change. It may be said at once that this remit is interpreted, not as referring to changes in ?biodiversity? as usually understood ? the number of species present ? but rather as covering all responses of organisms and the ecosystems in which they participate to the climate changes now in progress and in prospect. This extension of ?biodiversity? is clarified by the statement that ?modern biodiversity conservation . . . should ensure . . . the maintenance of ecological processes and the delivery of ecosystem services?.

Asymmetrical Power

I was attracted by the book title at first glance. "Contested Coumry" is such powerful description to one of the major challenges in the field of natural resources management (NRM) where conflicts emerge between stakeholders over the valuation and utilization of natural resources. In fact, this is also the site where asymmetrical power relations are embedded. Although this volume focuses mainly on the Australian context, its significance has great implications for both local and international practice of NRM policy implementation. As the editors point out in the introduction, it is open to question whether the current regional NRM approach is realistic in addressing the environmental crisis and achieving biodiversity conservation. Therefore, this book is very ambitious in its effort to critically ancllyse the efficiency of the regional and community-approach of NRM which has been largely implemented since the mid-1990s. Apart from this, what the future holds for NRM is another key theme tackled in this volume by contributors.
