This book is ideal for conservation biology students and practicing conservationists worldwide, particularly those seeking practical solutions and methods applicable in diverse ecological contexts and development settings.

The Conservation Handbook is a practical guide describing precisely what conservationists should do. It is not a textbook but, like the author's edited books on habitat management and census techniques, it will be of use to undergraduate students as well as to conservation professionals.

Description

Textbooks on the principles of conservation biology abound. Yet, how does one put this theoretical knowledge into practice? The aim of The Conservation Handbook is to provide clear guidance on the implementation of conservation techniques.

The wide range of methods described includes those for ecological research, monitoring, planning, education, habitat management and combining conservation with development. Nineteen case studies illustrate how the methods have been applied. The book will be of interest to conservation biology students and practising conservationists worldwide.

For each copy of the book sold, another copy will be sent free to a practising conservationist outside Western Europe, North America, Australia, New Zealand and Japan.
