Conservation Science and Action is intended for upper-level
undergraduate and graduate courses in conservation biology. This
book reviews the latest thinking and approaches, and in doing so
provides a readily accessible reference work for conservation
professionals and managers.
Because conservation biology is now one of the most dynamic
disciplines in the life sciences, William Sutherland and his
international team of authors have selected many of the liveliest
topics where key advances are currently being made. They stress
ideas, point to unresolved issues, and suggest possible future
developments. Finally, since conservation is an applied subject,
the book's emphasis throughout is on action.
