Conservation of Biological Resources

The authors, an ecologist and an anthropologist, have both worked on the conservation and sustainable use of wildlife for several years, including the ivory and rhino horn trades.

• The first book to examine the issues underlying the sustainable use debate in a fully interdisciplinary manner. Both the theoretical section and the case studies approach the issues using methods from economics, ecology, anthropology and other fields
• Designed as a course textbook, combining a theoretical section with invited case studies written by expert practitioners in the field
• Outlines the new direction that conservation biology (and thus conservation biologists) must take if it is to be successful
