Global Integrity Project has brought together leading scientists and thinkers from around the world to examine the combined problems of threatened and unequal human well-being, degradation of the ecosphere, and unsustainable economies. Based on the proposition that healthy, functioning ecosystems are a necessary prerequisite for both economic security and social justice, the project is built around the concept of ecological integrity and its practical implications for policy and management.Ecological Integrity presents a synthesis and findings of the project. Contributors - including Robert Goodland, James Karr, OrieLoucks, Jack Manno, William Rees, Mark Sagoff, Robert Ulanowicz, PhilippeCrabbe, Laura Westra, David Pimentel, Reed Noss, and others - examine the key elements of ecological integrity and consider what happens when integrity is lost or compromised.
