Effective Conservation Science: Data Not Dogma de Peter Kareiva

Effective Conservation Science: Data Not Dogma

Editat de Peter Kareiva, Michelle Marvier, Brian Silliman
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 oct 2017
This novel text assembles some of the most intriguing voices in modern conservation biology. Collectively they highlight many of the most challenging questions being asked in conservation science today, each of which will benefit from new experiments, new data, and new analyses. The book's principal aim is to inspire readers to tackle these uncomfortable issues head-on. A second goal is to be reflective and consider how the field has reacted to challenges to orthodoxy, and to what extent have or can these challenges advance conservation science. Furthermore, several chapters discuss how to guard against confirmation bias. The overall goal is that this book will lead to greater conservation of ecosystems and biodiversity by harnessing the engine of constructive scientific scepticism in service of better results.

Recenzii

This collection does an excellent job of challenging some of the ideas that have established themselves in our belief systems and popular science.
[Effective conservation science] can serve as a compilation of representative criticisms in this high-profile and controversial field of research. Recommended.
The book tackles the philosophical and scientific issues that have divided the field of conservation biology in recent years.
