Publisher Synopsis
From the book reviews:"This book is essential for nature conservation planners and managers from academia and various governmental and private agencies. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals/practitioners." (R. L. Smith, Choice, Vol. 51 (8), April, 2014)"I was very happy to recommend this book to my undergraduate and postgraduate students as soon as I obtained a copy. This is a hands-on book, and offers an informative outline of what management planning for conservation entails in practice, including how to develop an action plan, which is a skill that standard academic texts seldom provide. One striking aspect of the book is its logical structure, and plain but authoritative tone." (Munir Morad, International Journal of Environmental Studies, Vol. 66 (3), 2009) Read more...
