Conservation Biology

Conservation Biology: Foundations, Concepts, Applications, 3rd Edition, examines the foundational principles and practical management strategies of conservation science. The textbook explores the interplay between biological disciplines and the broader influences of ethics, economics, law, and environmental policy.

The volume covers population theory, genetics, ecosystem management, and habitat protection across terrestrial and aquatic systems. It also investigates conservation within human-dominated landscapes, addressing anthropogenic biomes, novel ecosystems, and urban habitats.

Intended for students, faculty, and practitioners, the text includes Points of Engagement discussion questions and Information Boxes summarizing case histories. A concluding chapter explores paths into traditional and non-traditional conservation vocations.
