Developing a balanced solution is the essence of sustainability. Until recently the hidden costs of high-production systems on biodiversity has been ignored.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis booklet identifies some of the hidden costs of unsustainable production, and also considers examples where conservation management has failed.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe authors argue that sustainable land management is possible, and that conservation and production interests can be satisfied. They go on to show how a sustainable approach can be applied throughout Europe. The approach adopted is the one that has underpinned the development of the European Union Biodiversity strategy and is becoming a compelling force for change in Europe's decision-making processes.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLand managers and planners, ecologists and agriculturalists will, in particular, find this booklet an invaluable resource.
