What happened to Darwin? That's the question Lyanda Lynn Haupt compellingly explores in a narrative that puts us inside...

Pacific Salmon & Their Ecosystems: Status and Future Options

The symposium "Pacific Salmon and Their Ecosystems: Status and Future Options', ' and this book resulted from initial efforts in 1992 by Robert J. Naiman and Deanna J.

At this juncture, we decided to create a...

This book explores the politics of wildlife conservation policy in Africa, specifically Zambia, Kenya, and Zimbabwe. The book addresses a general question: Why don't wildlife policies seem to be working?

Connectivity Conservation
ISBN: 9780521673815 / Angielski / Miękka / 732 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. One of the biggest threats to the survival of many plant and animal species is the destruction or fragmentation of their natural habitats.

In practice, however, maintaining, creating, and protecting connectivity in our increasingly dissected world is a daunting challenge. This fascinating volume provides a synthesis on the current status and literature of connectivity...
