The promotion of ecological  integrity as a basis for public policy and decision making stems from  scientists and others concerned about the threats of human activities  to ecosystems and species, and from philosophers attempting to derive  a more suitable ethic to guide the relationships between humans and  the non-human environment. Although ecological integrity has been  proposed as a norm for public policy and decision making, the concept  is relatively new and therefore the underlying scientific and  philosophical rationales have not been fully developed. This book  offers a number of perspectives to stimulate and inform future  discussion on the importance and consequences of ecological integrity  for science, morality and public policy. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eAudience:\u003c\/em\u003e Environmental professionals, whether academic,  governmental or industrial, or working in the private consultancy  sector.
