Because of the scope of conservation problems, biologists and
managers often rely on 'surrogate' species to act as proxies to
represent larger conservation issues. In "Conservation by Proxy",
conservation biologist and field researcher Tim Caro offers
systematic definitions of surrogate species concepts, explores the
theories behind them, considers how surrogate species are chosen,
examines evidence for and against their utility, and makes
recommendations for their continued use. "Conservation by Proxy" is
a benchmark reference that provides clear definitions and common
understanding of the evidence and theory behind surrogate species.
It is the first book to review and bring together literature on
more than fifteen types of surrogate species, enabling us to assess
their role in conservation and offering guidelines on how they can
be used most effectively.
