Trade-offs in conservation: deciding what to save

With limited resources available for conservation, people are having to make difficult decisions, some conscious and others subconscious, about which species and biogeographic areas to prioritise for conservation and, by implication,which to allow to go to the wall. This book discusses the wider non-biological issues that surround making such decisions within a conservation planning framework. It addresses and focuses on questions including: What are these widerissues that are influencing the decisions we make? What factors need to be included in our assessment of trade-offs? What package of information and issuesdo managers need to consider in order to make a rational decision? Who shouldmake such decisions? This book is part of the Conservation Science and Practice Series, published in association with the Zoological Society of London. Wiley-Blackwell and the Zoological Society of London are proud to present our Conservation Science and Practice series. Each book in the series reviews a key issue in conservation today. We are particularly keen to publish books that address the multidisciplinary aspects of conservation, looking at how biological scientists and ecologists are interacting with social scientists to effect long-term, sustainable conservation measures.
