Designed by a partnership of UN agencies, international scientific organizations, and development agencies, the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MA) is the most extensive study ever of the linkages between the world's ecosystems and human well-being.
This comprehensive report outlines a new solution to the biodiversity extinction crisis, in response to its warnings that unless farmers and the world's poorest peoples can learn to coexist with wildlife, hundreds of species may be lost.
This exceptional publication provides a new analysis of the state of the world and the first global assessment of sustainability. It surveys 180 countries using the Wellbeing Assessment, a unique way of measuring human and ecosystem wellbeing.
