Most causes of extinction are linked to corporate activity, either directly or indirectly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAround the World in 80 Species: Exploring the Business of Extinction\u003c\/em\u003e responds to the ongoing mass extinction crisis engulfing our planet by exploring the ways in which accounting, business, and finance can be used to prevent species extinctions. From Africa to the Far East and from Europe to the Americas, the authors explore species loss and how businesses can stop mass extinctions through greater transparency and through closer engagement with their investors and wildlife organisations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book concludes that global capitalism has led us to this extinction crisis and that, therefore, the mechanisms of capitalism—namely accounting, finance, and investment—can help to pull us out. Businesses must urgently address extinction before it is too late for all species, including ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs the first book to explore corporate accounting and accountability in relation to species on the brink of extinction, this book will be of great interest to both professionals and a wider audience interested in the causes and prevention of extinction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47772947579116,"sku":"9781783537136","price":79.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781783537136-around-the-world-in-80-species.jpg?v=1782175925","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/around-the-world-in-80-species-9781783537136","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
