As the human impact on the earth leads to ever increasing
environmental degradation, the restoration of dwindling populations
of numerous plant and animal species is becoming ever more
important. In this unique volume, the political, biological and
experimental procedures affecting the restoration of populations of
both plants and animals are examined using case studies to
illustrate basic points. Conceptual issues concerning the
organization and management of restoration efforts and plans for
the restoration of a wide variety of species including the
Pitcher's thistle and woodland caribou are outlined. The success
and progress of implemented plans for other species such as the
Lakeside daisy and black-footed ferret are then evaluated, and the
book ends with a broad overview, suggesting future opportunities
and problems. The book will interest especially students and
practitioners of restoration ecology.
