Description and Table of Contents
Description
This is an up-to-date and comprehensive look at the increasingly important subject of population management and conservation. Drawing on case studies of previous extinctions and near-extinctions, the authors discuss surrent theories for why species are driven into decline and how these declines can be reversed. Set in a real-world context of economics, legislation and treaties, this book is very much a practical guide for conservation action.
