Media reviews

"The book is an important step to draw attention to the importance and peculiarities of insect species conservation and thus I recommend it to anyone involved or interested in animal conservation. [...] The style of writing is easy and a pleasure to read and I appreciated the wealth of very interesting examples. [...] the basic concepts needed to understand the peculiarities of insect species conservation, such as the concept of metapopulation for example, are outlined in detail, making the book easily accessible for beginners and professionals alike."
- Basic and Applied Ecology

"Tim New has done an extremely valuable job in covering virtually the full range of issues in insect species conservation in a concise, but apt, manner [...] I recommend this timely book to all conservation biologists, entomologists, and students in the field. But, the wider audience of amateur entomologists will also find it a rich source of information that helps to bridge the gap between knowledge and action."
