The Conservation Handbook (PDF)

Textbooks on the principles of conservation biology abound. Yet,
how does one put this theoretical knowledge into practice? The aim
of The Conservation Handbook is to provide clear guidance on
the implementation of conservation techniques. The wide range of
methods described include those for ecological research,
monitoring, planning, education, habitat management and combining
conservation with development. Nineteen case studies illustrate how
the methods have been applied. The book will be of interest to
conservation biology students and practicing conservationists
worldwide.

For each copy of the book sold, another copy will be sent free
to a practicing conservationist outside Western Europe, North
America, Australia, New Zealand and Japan.
