Conservation Biology - HOME Conservation Biology The Science of Conservation Planning: Habitat Conservation Under the Endangered Species ACT by Reed F. Noss, Broad-scale conservation of habitats is increasingly being recognized as a more effective means of protecting species and landscapes than single-species preservation efforts. While interest in the approach has grown tremendously in recent years, it remains controversial and the science behind it has yet to be fully developed. In The Science of Conservation Planning, three of the nation's leading conservation biologists explore the role of the scientist in the planning process and ...
