Description

Conservation Biology in Sub-Saharan Africa

Conservation Biology in Sub-Saharan Africa comprehensively explores the challenges and potential solutions to key conservation issues in Sub-Saharan Africa.

This accessible textbook includes fifteen chapters covering conservation topics including threats to biodiversity, environmental laws, and protected areas management, as well as sustainability, poverty, and human-wildlife conflict. The resource provides a background discussion of conservation biology, theoretical approaches to the subject, and concrete examples of conservation practice in specific African contexts.

Key Features

Each chapter includes boxes with specific themes written by scientists who live and work throughout the region, recommended readings, suggested discussion topics, and extensive bibliographies. Strategies are outlined to protect biodiversity whilst promoting economic development in the region.

Available online without charge, this textbook serves as an essential resource for undergraduate and graduate students studying conservation biology, ecology, and environmental science. It also functions as a practical guide for professionals working to address the rapid loss of biodiversity in Sub-Saharan Africa and elsewhere.
