| Summary: | In recent years, public opinion has become more environmentally conscious. However, the politicization of environmental problems, at least in the U.K., has tended to overlook the pressing need for more research on the factors that control and influence the survival of plants and animals in our countryside. This volume examines the progress of research in recent years by conservation ecologists in temperate regions, but does not ignore the relevance of this in a global context. The volume stresses the importance of ecological science as a basis for conservation and considers all-embracing, unifying topics such as the future prospects for conservation at the global scale, data management and modelling. It provides an invaluable reference for the international community of conservation biologists. |
