Biodiversity: My Hotel In Action: A Guide To Sustainable Use Of Biological Resources

E-Book Overview

Biodiversity plays an important role in the day-to-day life of a hotel. From the food in the restaurant and wood in furniture and fittings, to the amenities in the spa, the products of biodiversity are everywhere inside hotels. Outside, plants and animals make a hotel’s public areas and gardens attractive for guests, while beyond the hotel gate, national parks, green spaces, coasts, and natural habitats provide guests with opportunities for recreation and enjoyment. This guide is designed to help owners and managers of small and large hotels to conserve nature and to guide the sustainable use of biological resources in their day-to-day operations.

As a Union, IUCN seeks to influence, encourage and assist societies throughout the world to conserve the integrity and diversity of nature and to ensure that any use of natural resources is equitable and ecologically sustainable. A central Secretariat coordinates the IUCN Programme and serves the Union membership, representing their views on the world stage and providing them with the strategies, services, scientific knowledge and technical support they need to achieve their goals.
