This volume explores fifteen exemplary education and communication programs that have contributed to the conservation of wildlife and natural resources around the world, presenting the perspectives necessary to confront the unbated extinction of animal and plant species and increasing human pressure on tropical and temperate forests, wetlands, and marine environments. Includes documented examples of conservation education programs, with sections on planning, implementing, and assessing each program.

Industry Reviews

Provides an in-depth analysis of conservation education programs based on well-documented descriptions of the scientific issues... The theme throughout the book reiterates that the responsibility of conservation of ecosystems depends less on scientists and more on the support and commitment of the public. Ecoscience There can be little doubt that one major change in wildlife conservation in the last thirty years has been recognition of the importance of working with and educating the public about local wildlife (and other resource) conservation efforts. I have seen no book that better illustrates this revolution, or can better move it along than this one. Alternatives
