Product Description
A companion volume to The Endangered Species Act at Thirty: Renewing
the Conservation Promise, published by Island Press in fall 2005, this
new book looks at the key policy tools available for protecting biodiversity
in the United States by revisiting some basic questions in conservation:
What are we trying to protect and why? What are the limits
of species-based conservation? Can we develop new conservation
strategies that are more ecologically and economically viable than past
approaches?
