People, Plants and Protected Areas: A Guide to in Situ Management: People and Plants International Conservation

Autor John Tuxill, Gary Paul Nabhan, with Elizabeth Drexler, Michael Hathaway
en Limba Engleză Paperback – mar 2001
Conservation of plant resources is often focused on seed banks and botanical gardens. However, the two authors of this volume present a comprehensive conservation strategy that complements this ex-situ approach with practical guidance on in-situ management and conservation of plant resources. The book aims to facilitate better management of protected areas and to illustrate new approaches to conservation of plants within their landscapes. It draws on concepts from forestry, the agricultural sciences, anthropology, ethnology and ethnobotany and should be useful to practitioners, academics and policy-makers.
