This book demonstrates that trade-offs can be very important for
conservationists. Its various chapters show how and why trade-offs
are made, and why conservationists need to think very hard about
what, if anything, to do about them. The book argues that
conservationists must carefully weigh up, and be explicit about, the
trade-offs that they make every day in deciding what to save.
Key Features:
Discusses the wider non-biological issues that surround
making decisions about which species and biogeographic
areas to prioritise for conservation
Focuses on questions such as: What are these wider issues
that are influencing the decisions we make? What factors
need to be included in our assessment of trade-offs? What
package of information and issues do managers need to
consider in making a rational decision? Who should make such
decisions?
