Science librarian Smith (Western Kentucky U.) cites literature both on the biological study of diversity itself, and on the socio-natural science of diversity conservation. The main part lists over 5,700 monographs and articles, and the second identifies a selection of over 100 special issues of serial publications in which the main theme is related to biodiversity studies. The entries include ratings of the number of citations the work has received in the literature, and key words. The indexes are by general subject, geography, and organism.

All societies depend on biodiversity and biological resources, and policy makers are increasingly aware that development pressures are today generating unprecedented rates of biodiversity loss. The fact that biodiversity issues often receive low priority in policy decisions is at least in part due to problems involved in assessing its contribution to society -- these values defy easy description and quantification. What cannot be quantified, or is difficult to monitor and evaluate, is easy to disregard. The result is that biodiversity fails to compete on a level playing field in policy decisions with the forces driving their decline. This Handbook describes the types of values usually associated with biodiversity. While there are exceptions to the need to prioritise economic values over other cultural, traditional and spiritual values, economic valuation has a sound theoretical foundation that can help clarify the tradeoffs implicit in public policy decisions. On the other hand, the Handbook recognises the limitations of the economic approach, and considers how economic and non-economic values can eventually be reconciled. The Handbook also reviews the various methodological approaches often used to quantify these values. Data requirements and limitations are discussed. These methodologies are then applied to a series of concrete policy contexts, ranging from land use planning to the determination of legal damages for environmental degradation.

Governments and the business sector are increasingly recognising the potential of biodiversity products and services; markets which can help to promote the sustainable use and conservation of biodiversity. Some are already being profitably marketed, but private markets also need to be supported by appropriate public policies. This publication provides a conceptual framework to help identify and promote the use of markets in the biodiversity policy arena, and draws on the findings of a joint OECD/World Bank workshop held in Paris in January 2001. It discusses the concept of 'public goods' and considers four examples of emerging markets: organic agriculture; sustainable forestry; non-timber forest products, such as natural cosmetics and herbal medicines; and genetic resources.

This publication aims to clarify the links between the Rio Conventions on climate change, biodiversity and desertification, and sustainable development issues. It seeks to provide insights as to how development co-operation agencies can help developing countries respond to global environmental threats and address poverty reduction concerns. It contains the policy statement endorsed at the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) meeting in May 2002; an executive summary and an indepth analysis of key policy issues and priority areas for action; and a number of annexes summarising the main concepts and terms involved. Whilst the guidelines focus on the Rio Conventions, many of the findings apply equally to other global or regional environmental issues.

This report discusses the progress made by OECD countries towards targets established in 2001, as part of an agreed strategy by OECD Environment Ministers to promote environmentally sustainable policies. The strategy included five key objectives: maintaining the integrity of ecosystems through the efficient management of natural resources; decoupling environmental pressures from economic growth; improving information for decision-making and measuring progress through indicators; links between social and environmental factors and enhancing the quality of life; and global environmental interdependence and improving governance and co-operation. The report highlights the challenges and obstacles that remain if countries are to achieve the objectives by the planned date of 2010.
