Summary

"As the human impact on the earth leads to ever increasing environmental degradation, the restoration of dwindling populations of numerous plant and animal species is becoming ever more important. In this unique volume, the political, biological and experimental procedures affecting the restoration of populations of both plants and animals are examined using case studies to illustrate basic points. Conceptual issues concerning the organization and management of restoration efforts and plans for the restoration of a wide variety of species including the Pitcher's thistle and woodland caribou are outlined. The success and progress of implemented plans for other species such as the Lakeside daisy and black-footed ferret are then evaluated, and the book ends with a broad overview, suggesting future opportunities and problems. The book will interest especially students and practitioners of restoration ecology."--Jacket.
