Conservation of Faunal Diversity in Forested Landscapes (Conservation Biology Book 6)

Forest wildlife conservation is critically required in many parts of the world today. This book presents a merger between the elements of wildlife conservation and habitat conservation, and explains how these disciplines can be used to promote the conservation of vertebrates in forests around the world.
