Biodiversity and Land Conservation

Conservation is the protection, preservation, management, or restoration of wildlife and natural resources such as forests and water. Through the conservation of biodiversity and land the survival of many species and habitats which are threatened due to human activities can be ensured. Other reasons for conserving biodiversity and land include securing valuable natural resources for future generations and protecting the well being of ecosystem functions.

The book provides an explicit and comparative treatment of the issues of biodiversity and land deterioration and the programmes and policies for conserving endangered species and ecosystems. It will appeal to students and researchers in the areas of environmental science and politics, environmental activists in national and international NGOs, and all those interested in the protection of the Planet Earth.
