Evidence-Based Conservation - Lessons From the Lower Mekong

Zusatztext "The editors of this volume deserve a great deal of credit for bringing together such a broad and critical collection of conservation assessments." – William F. Laurance, Distinguished Research Professor & Australian Laureate, Prince Bernhard Chair in International Nature Conservation, James Cook University, Cairns, Queensland, Australia"The key message of the book is that without the evidence from experience in the field, conservation will fail to inform policy and science and vice versa. This book will be of interest to anyone interested in, studying, or practising conservation biology and resource management." - Sarah Taylor, British Ecological Society Informationen zum Autor Terry C.H. Sunderland is Principal Scientist in the Forests and Livelihoods Programme at the Centre for International Forestry Research (CIFOR), Indonesia. Jeffrey Sayer is Professor of Development Practice at James Cook University, Cairns, Australia. Minh-Ha Hoang is a Senior Scientist with the World Agroforestry Centre, based in Hanoi, Vietnam. Klappentext "Simultaneously published in the USA and Canada"--T.p. verso. Zusammenfassung The basis of this book is the disparity between the science of conservation biology and the design and execution of biodiversity conservation projects in the field. The book argues for an 'evidence-based approach', drawing information from fifteen projects in the Lower Mekong regions, with the aim of allowing more effective integrated conservation projects.
