Terrestrial Ecoregions of North America, Volume 1: A Conservation Assessment

Buch

Using a rigorous ecoregion-based approach, rather than the more common state-by-state analysis, a team of scientists from World Wildlife Fund has produced a comprehensive assessment of the current status of biodiversity in North America north of Mexico. The book presents the rationale for the ecoregion approach, describes the biological distinctiveness of North American ecoregions, assesses the level of threats facing each, presents a conservation agenda for the next decade, and sets forth recommendations for preserving and restoring biodiversity.
