Illustrated textbook introducing students to conservation biology. The fundamental problems of habitat loss and fragmentation, habitat disturbance and the non-sustainable exploitation of species in both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems are explored. Methods that have been developed to address these problems, from the most traditional forms of conservation to new approaches at genetic to landscape scales are then discussed, showing how the science can be put into practice.
