Globally, more and more species are at risk of extinction as the
environment and climate change. Many of these species require
long-term management to persist - they are conservation-reliant.
The magnitude of this challenge requires a rethinking of how
conservation priorities are determined and a broader societal
commitment to conservation. Choices need to be made about which
species will be conserved, for how long, and by whom. This volume
uses case studies and essays by conservation practitioners from
throughout the world to explore what conservation reliance is and
what it means for endangered-species management. Chapters consider
threats to species and how they are addressed, legal frameworks for
protecting endangered species, societal contexts and conflicts over
conservation goals, and how including conservation reliance can
strengthen methods for prioritizing species for conservation. The
book concludes by discussing how shepherding nature requires an
evaluation of societal values and ethics.
