- Summary:
-
"This book attempts to link sustainable development, conservation biology, restoration ecology and the protection of biological diversity. It gives an overall picture of the general state of global biodiversity with some emphasis to South Asia. On the basis of recent findings and new approaches, it covers the relevant aspects of conservation biology (e.g. biogeography, ecology, taxonomy, environmental studies, genetics) and resource management (e.g. fisheries, tropical forestry, agriculture, adaptive management of parks, nature reserves and wildlife). The role of indigenous knowledge and rural people in valuing and protecting species is discussed." "The book presents findings and views that should facilitate identification and implementation of remedial measures to conserve species before they vanish, taking with them their genetic legacy and potential benefits for us and our children."--BOOK JACKET.
