Problem-Solving in Conservation Biology and Wildlife Management, 2nd edition

Abstract

Effective dialogue between scientists and policy makers has been identified time and time again as one of the most important factors limiting objective conservation outcomes (e.g., Sutherland et al., 2006). Education is an important step in facilitating this dialogue, as all too often there appears to be a divide between the proponents of conservation biology (scientists, academics and students) and practitioners driving wildlife management (policy makers and politicians). Problem-solving in Conservation Biology and Wildlife Management represents a manual for the practical application of theoretical ideas and the means of communicating them, thus bridging the divide between theory and practice.
