Synopsis:

This book, intended as a supplement to a conservation biology or wildlife management textbook, provides a series of exercises for the field, lab or classroom. Topics range from population viability analysis to conservation planning, rare species occurrence, and gap analysis. The authors plan to develop a web site in conjunction with the book so that free–ware programmes and other information can be downloaded for use in some of the exercises. Perfect as a field manual as well as a course textbook. An instructors manual will also be available. Web site provides downloadable exercises.

From the Back Cover: This book has been created expressly for the students and teachers of conservation biology and wildlife management who want to have an impact beyond the classroom. The book focuses on "learning by doing" as a mechanism for professional development, and presents a set of 27 exercises spanning a wide range of conservation issues: genetic analysis, population biology and management, taxonomy, ecosystem management, land use planning, the public policy process and more. All exercises carry a message about making it happen, that is, how to take what has been learned in an exercise and make an impact in the larger world.
