Tropical Conservation Biology by Navjot S Sodhi

Tropical Conservation Biology by Navjot S Sodhi

This introductory textbook examines diminishing terrestrial and aquatic habitats in the tropics, covering a broad range of topics including the fate of the coral reefs; the impact of agriculture, urbanization, and logging on habitat depletion; and the effects of fire on plants and animal survival.

"This is by far the best introduction to conservation biology in the broadest sense that I have yet encountered" (Biodivers Conserv, 2011)

"It is simply a good, detailed, and up-to-date book that belongs on the shelves of scholars in tropical biology, ecology, conservation biology, and the environmental sciences.” (Ecology, April 2009)

"This is the most up-to-date and informative reference on the wrongs of conservation of biodiversity in the tropics." (Environmental Conservation, December 2008)
