The Earth's ecosystems are in the midst of an unprecedented period
of change as a result of human action. Many habitats have been
completely destroyed or divided into tiny fragments, others have
been transformed through the introduction of new species, or the
extinction of native plants and animals, while anthropogenic
climate change now threatens to completely redraw the geographic
map of life on this planet. The urgent need to understand and
prescribe solutions to this complicated and interlinked set of
pressing conservation issues has lead to the transformation of the
venerable academic discipline of biogeography - the study of the
geographic distribution of animals and plants. The newly emerged
sub-discipline of conservation biogeography uses the conceptual
tools and methods of biogeography to address real world
conservation problems and to provide predictions about the fate of
key species and ecosystems over the next century. This book
provides the first comprehensive review of the field in a series of
closely interlinked chapters addressing the central issues within
this exciting and important subject.
