Reihe: Conservation Science and Practice

This book demonstrates that trade-offs can be very important forconservationists. Its various chapters show how and why trade-offsare made, and why conservationists need to think very hard aboutwhat, if anything, to do about them. The book argues thatconservationists must carefully weigh up, and be explicit about,the trade-offs that they make every day in deciding what to save.
Key Features:
* Discusses the wider non-biological issues that surround makingdecisions about which species and biogeographic areas to prioritisefor conservation
* Focuses on questions such as: What are these wider issues thatare influencing the decisions we make? What factors need to beincluded in our assessment of trade-offs? What package ofinformation and issues do managers need to consider in making arational decision? Who should make such decisions?
* Part of the Conservation Science and Practice bookseries
This volume is of interest to policy-makers, researchers,practitioners and postgraduate students who are concerned aboutmaking decisions that include recognition of trade-offs inconservation planning.
