This book demonstrates that trade-offs can be very important for
conservationists. Its various chapters show how and why trade-offs
are made, and why conservationists need to think very hard about
what, if anything, to do about them. The book argues that
conservationists 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 making
decisions about which species and biogeographic areas to prioritise
for conservation
* Focuses on questions such as: What are these wider issues that
are influencing the decisions we make? What factors need to be
included in our assessment of trade-offs? What package of
information and issues do managers need to consider in making a
rational decision? Who should make such decisions?
* Part of the Conservation Science and Practice book
series
This volume is of interest to policy-makers, researchers,
practitioners and postgraduate students who are concerned about
making decisions that include recognition of trade-offs in
conservation planning.
