| Summary |
"Practical Approaches to the Conservation of Biological Diversity brings together in a single volume information on a range of scientific and management approaches, and provides useful and workable guidelines for conserving biodiversity in a broad array of settings." "Following an introductory section that examines the concept of biological diversity, its historical context, and its importance to humans, the book presents a general discussion of approaches to biodiversity conservation along with detailed description and analysis of a variety of specific strategies. The book ends with a discussion of future directions and innovations in biodiversity conservation."--Jacket |
