Broad-scale conservation of habitats is increasingly being
recognized as a more effective means of protecting species and
landscapes than single-species preservation efforts. While interest
in the approach has grown tremendously in recent years, it remains
controversial and the science behind it has yet to be fully
developed.In "The Science of Conservation Planning," three of the
nation's leading conservation biologists explore the role of the
scientist in the planning process and present a framework and
guidelines for applying science to regional habitat-based
conservation planning. Chapters consider: history and background of
conservation planning efforts criticisms of science in conservation
planning principles of conservation biology that apply to
conservation planning detailed examination of conservation plans
specific recommendations for all parties involved.The
recommendations, interpretations, and questions provided are
thoroughly based in the science of conservation biology, and the
framework presented is adaptable to allow for revision and
improvement as knowledge is gained and theories refined. "The
Science of Conservation Planning" will serve as a model for the
application of conservation biology to real-life problems, and can
lead to the development of scientifically and politically sound
plans that are likely to achieve their conservation goals, even in
cases where biological and ecological information is limited.The
book is essential for scientists at all levels, including agency
biologists, academic scientists, environmental consultants, and
scientists employed by industry and conservation groups. It is also
a valuable resource for elected officials and their staffs,
environmentalists, developers, students, and citizen activists
involved with the complex and contentious arena of conservation
planning.
