In order to meet the daunting challenges of environmental sustainability in this epoch of human domination--known as the Anthropocene--ecologists have begun to think differently about the interdependencies between humans and the natural world.

The new ecology emphasizes the importance of conserving species diversity, because it can offer a portfolio of options to keep our ecosystems resilient in the face of environmental change. It envisions humans taking on new roles as thoughtful stewards of the environment to ensure that ecosystems have the enduring capacity to supply the environmental services on which our economic well-being--and our very existence--depend. It offers the ecological know-how to maintain and enhance our planet's environmental performance and ecosystem production for the benefit of current and future generations.

from being one among millions on
Earth to the species that is single-
handedly transforming the entire planet to
suit its own needs. In order to meet the daunt-
ing challenges of environmental sustainability
in this epoch of human domination—known
as the Anthropocene—ecologists have begun
to think differently about the interdependen-
cies between humans and the natural world.
This concise and accessible book provides the
best available introduction to what this new
ecology is all about—and why it matters more
than ever before.
Oswald Schmitz describes how the science
of ecology is evolving to provide a better un-
derstanding of how human agency is shaping
the natural world, often in never-before-seen
ways. The new ecology emphasizes the impor-
tance of conserving species diversity, because
it can offer a portfolio of options to keep our
ecosystems resilient in the face of environmen-
tal change. It envisions humans taking on new
roles as thoughtful stewards of the environ-
ment to ensure that ecosystems have the en-
during capacity to supply the environmental
services on which our economic well-being—
and our very existence—depend. It offers the
ecological know-how to maintain and enhance
our planet’s environmental performance and
ecosystem production for the benefit of cur-
rent and future generations.
Informative and engaging, The JVezo Ecology
shows how today’s ecology can provide the
insights we need to appreciate the crucial role
we play in this era of unprecedented global
environmental transition.
