Publisher's Synopsis
This book, Wildlife Conservation - Natural and Human-Influenced Ecosystems, gives a very interesting collection of case studies on the current problems, challenges, and difficulties of this important and scientifically interesting applied ecological research area. This is a critical topic because abundant biodiversity enhances ecosystems' resilience, allowing them to effectively cope with and bounce back from various environmental stresses and disruptions. An effective strategy should be based on fundamental principles that cover the duties and obligations of different stakeholders within the wildlife preservation sector, including elected and appointed officials, conservation experts working in governmental roles (trust managers), non-governmental organizations, and the general public. I am sure this book will be very useful for everybody - researchers, teachers, students, government officials and activists committed to nature protection, or others interested in the field - who would like to get some insight into this part of the complex phenomena of biodiversity conservation.
