A series of authoritative chapters have been written by the top names in conservation knowledge as widly as possible. Important topics such as balancing conservation and human needs, climate change, conservation planning, designing, and analyzing conservation research, ecosystem services, endangered species management, extinctions, fire habitat loss, and invasive species are covered. Numerous textboxes describing additional relevant material or case studies are also included. The global biodiversity crisis must rapidly dealt with; what can be saved in the devloping world will require and educated constituency in both teh developing and developed world. Habitat loss is particulary acute in developing countries, which is of special concern because it tends to be these locations where the gratest species diversity and richest centres of endemism are to be found. Sadly, developing world conservation scientist have found it difficult to access an authoritative textbook, which is particulary ironic since it is these countries where the potential benefits of knowledge application are greatest. There is now an urgent need to educate the next generation of scientist in developing countries, so that they are in a better position to protect their natural resources. This accessible, easy-to-red text will be of relevance and use to both undergraduate and graduate students taking courses in biodiversity and conservation biology. It will also be a valuable reference for a global audience of conservation practitioners, wildlife managers, and other conservation professionals.
