Effective Conservation Science

Data Not Dogma

Ebook (PDF Format)

This novel text assembles some of the most intriguing voices in modern conservation biology. Collectively they highlight many of the most challenging questions being asked in conservation science today, each of which will benefit from new experiments, new data, and new analyses. The book's principal aim is to inspire readers to tackle these uncomfortable issues head-on. A second goal is to be reflective and consider how the field has reacted to challenges toorthodoxy, and to what extent have or can these challenges advance conservation science.
