Abstract

conservation, consumption of biological resources, invasive species and protected areas. Ecological restoration is explicitly included in the conservation status of species category. Changes within this category (in relation to the 2010 goal of "restoring, maintaining, or reducing decline of species") include the imperative to prevent the decline and extinction of known threatened species and improve the conservation status of 10% of these species (Stokstad 2010), and here is where the role of ecological restoration will come in. Based on his extensive experience as chair of DIVERSITAS, an international research program founded in 1991, Loreau clearly delineates the major challenges we need to address in biodiversity research: 1) discovering species not yet known to humanity and improving our ecological knowledge of those we do know; 2) monitoring biodiversity change; 3) assessing the ecological and social consequences of biodiversity change; 4) building predictive models of biodiversity change; and 5) conserving and managing biodiversity. In a nutshell, Loreau advocates a research program the size of space exploration or the human genome to adequately address such key issues for humanity. These frontiers of biodiversity science outlined in the book mainly go way beyond the new policy-driven goals of the CBD for the
