This book demonstrates that trade-offs can be very important for

conservationists. Its various chapters show how and why trade-offs

are made, and why conservationists need to think very hard about

what, if anything, to do about them. The book argues that

conservationists must carefully weigh up, and be explicit about, the

trade-offs that they make every day in deciding what to save.Key Features:

Discusses the wider non-biological issues that surround

making decisions about which species and biogeographic

areas to prioritise for conservation

Focuses on questions such as: What are these wider issues

that are influencing the decisions we make? What factors

need to be included in our assessment of trade-offs? What

package of information and issues do managers need to

consider in making a rational decision? Who should make such

decisions?
