Editorial Reviews
Midwest Book Review
Conservation And Biodiversity introduces readers to problems, both scientific and economic, of quantifying the magnitude and value of biodiversity. What really is the extent of biodiversity loss and how does one go about figuring it out? Why is biodiversity valuable for the earth and ourselves, what can be done to conserve it? Dobson gives clear answers in this beautifully illustrated book. Conservation And Biodiversity offers a lucid explanation of how current extinction rates are figured and how species endangerment is determined. He also offers fascinating insights into managing endangered species and the economics of different conservation strategies. Filled with vivid case studies, Dobson cites the changes in animal populations before and after management attempts. Highly recommended!
