We are living in the early stages of a looming worldwide extinction
crisis. Abundant evidence shows that the current rate of species
extinctions is nearing its highest level since the asteroid
collision 65 million years ago, and that humans are largely
responsible. This book addresses the urgent need to understand and
find solutions to this crisis. Written by an international team of
contributors who are among the best-known and most active
experimental biologists working in the field of conservation
biology today, it provides a unique approach by focusing on
individual species rather than whole plant and animal communities.
Emphasizing throughout how conservation biology can benefit from an
experimental approach, the book looks at a wide range of
terrestrial and aquatic speciesfrom giant pandas and tree snails to
sea turtles and Steller sea lionsand demonstrates what can be done
both to preserve rare species and to combat invasive organisms.
Finally, contributors show how we can bridge the gap between policy
makers and research scientists in order to develop lasting
solutions to these problems.
