Rather than merely fixing the broken bits and pieces of nature, restorative development advocates the reuse of devastated landscapes to improve the value and livability of a location for humans at the same time as effectively reinstating natural processes and functions. \u003cstrong\u003eRestorative Redevelopment of Devastated Ecocultural Landscapes\u003c\/strong\u003e explores the use of this approach to address the long-term, sustainable reparation of the fabled marshlands of southern Iraq destroyed by Saddam Hussein, as well as numerous examples of other ecologically sensitive regions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCase studies presented include:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eSouthern marshlands Iraq\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHula swamp, Israel\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAzraq Oasis, Jordan\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLas Vegas Wash, USA \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eXochimilco, Mexico\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePantanal, Brazil\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eClark County Wetlands Park, USA\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTonle Sap, Cambodia\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLake Titicaca, Peru\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNature Reserves, Jordan\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book reviews successfully-implemented and celebrated case studies from more than 15 countries around the world which, either in whole or in part, can offer valuable insight into the restorative development of the Iraqi marshlands as well as other devastated ecocultural landscapes. It presents practical approaches for sustaining the process of restoration efforts, both during and after the reparation work has been accomplished. The editor suggests solutions targeted for Iraq but that also have resonance in other regions devastated by conflict and natural disasters. He takes a synoptic or cross-system approach to problem solving when repairing large-scale landscapes that have been devastated by conflict or natural disasters such as tsunami-damaged Indonesia and earthquake-ravaged Haiti.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45549128777966,"sku":"9780415952255","price":260.8,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780415952255.jpg?v=1733980412","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/restorative-redevelopment-of-devastated-ecocultural-landscapes-hardback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
