Quantitative conservation biology pdf

We propose the recognition of quantitative conservation geography as a subfield of conservation science that studies where, when, and what conservation actions could be implemented in order to mitigate threats and promote sustainable people–nature interactions.
We outline relevant methods and data needed in quantitative conservation geography.

In this view, quantitative biology is the recognition that theory and models play critical roles in biology, as they do in physics and engineering.
By tying together experiment and theory, quantitative biology promises a deeper understanding of underlying mechanisms, when the theory works, or to new discoveries, when it does not.
WHY QUANTITATE? .

The audience of Quantitative Conservation Biology is field biologists and graduate students.
This book is data- heavy and theory-light.
It is a book about methods rather than methodology and is for scientists interested in analysing data and developing management plans and recommendations.
