Description:
Conservation for a New Generation highlights the dynamic state of how natural resources management is being practiced in the United States today as it transitions from top-down programs and federal mandates to a largely bottom-up approach that involves a broad range of stakeholders working together to achieve common goals. The book considers the implications of those changes for future conservation efforts and offers a conceptual blueprint for effective conservation that can guide students and practitioners both now and into the future.
Review Quotes: "Conservation for a New Generation is a must read for those engaged in conservation science or practice. The book is uplifting, motivating, and encouraging of new ways of thinking about and doing conservation. The book should become a standard in conservation biology and natural resources management courses across colleges and universities around the globe."-- "Natural Areas Journal"
