Since 1970, there has been an overall decline in wildlife
populations in the order of 52%. Freshwater species populations
have declined by 76%; species populations in Central and South
America have declined by 83%; and in the Indo-Pacific by 67%. These
are often not complete extinctions, but large declines in the
numbers of animals in each species, as well as habitat loss. This
presents us with a tremendous opportunity, before it is too late to
rescue many species. This book documents the present state of
wildlife on a global scale, using a taxonomic approach, and serving
as a one stop place for people involved in conservation to be able
to find out what is in decline, and the success stories that have
occurred to bring back species from the brink of extinction -
primarily due to conservation management techniques - as models for
what we might achieve in the future.
