Why Ecosystems Matter: Preserving the Key to Our Survival

This book explores an exciting new way to avoid environmental threats by using our growing knowledge of how evolution has shaped and continues to shape complex ecosystems. By examining the diversity and rapid change in ecosystems, we can gain insights into how to heal them and ensure our survival.

The author takes readers on a journey through various ecosystems, including those found along the eastern slope of the Peruvian Andes, to illustrate the concept of divergent evolution that lies at the heart of ecosystem diversity and resilience. This understanding is crucial for powering the evolutionary ferment that drives ecosystem diversity and resilience.
