This set of exercises has been created expressly for students and
teachers of conservation biology and wildlife management who want
to have an impact beyond the classroom. The book presents a set of
32 exercises that are primarily new and greatly revised versions
from the book's successful first edition. These exercises span a
wide range of conservation issues: genetic analysis, population
biology and management, taxonomy, ecosystem management, land use
planning, the public policy process and more. All exercises discuss
how to take what has been learned and apply it to practical,
real-world issues.
Accompanied by a detailed instructor's manual and a
student website with software and support materials, the book is
ideal for use in the field, lab, or classroom.
Also available:
Fundamentals of Conservation Biology, 3rd edition (2007) by
Malcolm L Hunter Jr and James Gibbs, ISBN 9781405135450
Saving the Earth as a Career: Advice on Becoming a
Conservation Professional (2007) by Malcolm L Hunter Jr, David
