"This book provides important interdisciplinary insights into emerging forms of environmental advocacy and social justice. ... Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals and practitioners." (R. V. Labaree, Choice, Vol. 53 (2), October, 2015) "It is highly rewarding to read this book with its multiple facets from ecology and ethics to religion. It provides rich food for thought, describing many fresh and unconventional (also 'non-western') approaches to conservation, especially in a time where the arguments for biological conservation are dominated more and more by a utilitarian perspective on nature, as expressed by the increasing prominence of the ecosystem services concept. I thus highly recommend it." (Kurt Jax, Basic and Applied Ecology, August, 2015)
