Summary:

"While the severity of the widespread loss of biodiversity has become increasingly apparent, the search for solutions remains impeded by a lack of practical knowledge and overall vision." "Written by two leading conservation biologists, Saving Nature's Legacy provides explicit guidelines on inventorying biodiversity; selecting areas for protection; designing regional and continental reserve networks; managing forest, rangeland, and aquatic ecosystems; establishing monitoring programs; and setting priorities." "The authors translate the principles, techniques, and findings of the ecological sciences into an accessible and practical plan for action."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
