Conservation in the Internet Age: Threats and Opportunities

Abstract

When opened the package from Pacific Conservation Biology and looked at the book that I was to do my first review on, my first thought was "What have I got myself into". I was looking at a collection of papers that were written by experts in various fields, of which I knew nothing about. As I prepared to slog through all the technical information about networks and social interactions, I realized that this was not just a collection of technical papers, but a well-constructed look at how the Internet has and will affect the way conservation occurs across the globe over the next few decades.
