Fundamentals of Conservation Biology

Abstract

In a time of changing social and environmental priorities and pressures, the conservation of biodiversity remains as one of the world?s most important issues. In this new edition of Fundamentals of Conservation Biology, the authors Malcolm, L. Hunter JR. and James Gibbs provide a valuable introduction to the subject of conservation biology. Although this book is titled a study in the biology of conservation, it maintains a strong focus on the politics, processes and, in particular, the preservation of biodiversity. The four sections into which the book is divided each deal with a separate aspect of biodiversity.
