Although more and more of the world's land and water surface is under some form of protection, many eco-systems are under represented and traditional management methods have often been ineffective. This new book, involving many of the world's leading conservation experts, examines how improvements can be made. Specifically, they explore ways of ensuring that all major ecosystems are safeguarded, and innovative approaches to conservation involving individuals, communities, companies and governments. The essence of the approach is to build partnerships with those who have a stake in the care of land and water resources. Essential reading for those involved with or studying biodiversity, conservation, and the planning and management of protected areas.
