About the Author
Craig R. Groves is Research Biologist and Conservation Planner for the Wildlife Conservation Society in the greater Yellowstone area. He worked for The Nature Conservancy for 13 years, first as a conservation biologist and then as Director of Conservation Planning, a position he held from 1997 to 2002.
Review
"Practical books are often unreadable and theoretical tomes are often impractical. This is that rare book that combines the virtues of both. No planner who deals with nature can afford to be without it." (Planning)
"Drafting a Conservation Blueprint is highly recommended for any conservation practitioner involved in landscape-scale or regional conservation planning, as well as agency staff, students, and those looking for efficient ways to focus scant conservation dollars in a region." (Wild Earth)
"Drafting a Conservation Blueprint is practical enough to be called a handbook, scholarly enough to be called a textbook, and thorough enough to be called a treatise." (Ecology)
