In this stimulating overview, international experts offer vital information for anticipating and meeting the environmental and ecological challenges of the next century. Representing a diverse range of specialties, the contributors examine such key topics as species extinction, ecosystem conservation and management, strategies for national parks, planning and management programs, legislative initiatives, and conservation in the developing world. Thoughtful and provocative, the book provides a much-needed basis for planning realistic action. It will be read with interest by conservationists, government decision-makers, wildlife resource managers, and all those concerned about the issues of ecology and preservation.
