Addressing such topics as the effectiveness of conservation laws and treaties, design of conservation areas, classification of conservation threats, and strategies to save species on the verge of extinction, this undergraduate text is divided into sections on the value of biological diversity, threats to biological diversity, conservation, protecting and managing habitats and ecosystems, and sustainable development. Featured are examples of successful conservation approaches that suggest a future agenda for conservation biology linked to environmental law, economics, philosophy, social sciences, anthropology, park management, and government policy.
