Book Description
Now forty years old, the Endangered Species Act (ESA) remains a landmark act in conservation and one of the world’s most comprehensive laws designed to prevent species extinctions and support recovery efforts for imperiled species. A controversial law and often subject to political attack, the ESA is successful overall but not without difficulties. Those who enforce the ESA, for example, struggle to achieve viable recovery goals for many species. At the forefront of challenges is a reactive framework that sometimes leads to perverse incentives and legal battles that strain support and resources. Further, few species have been delisted. Proactive Strategies for Protecting Species explores the perspectives, opportunities, and challenges around designing and implementing pre-listing programs and approaches to species conservation. This volume brings together conservation biologists, economists, private and government stakeholders, and others to create a legal, scientific, sociological, financial, and technological foundation for designing solutions that incentivize conservation action for hundreds of at-risk species—prior to their potential listing under the ESA. This forward-thinking, innovative volume provides a roadmap for designing species conservation programs on the ground so they are effective and take place upstream of regulation, which will contribute to a reduction in lawsuits and other expenses that arise after a species is listed. Proactive Strategies for Species Protection is a guidebook for anyone anywhere interested in designing programs that incentivize environmental stewardship and species conservation.

Book Description
In July 1993 a remarkable group of ecologists, conservationists, land managers, government officials, & policy-makers representing 25 nations gathered at Purchase, New York, to attend a conference devoted to the conservation, restoration, & management of tortoises & turtles. Offering just a glimpse of the troubled conservation status of the world's 270-plus species of tortoises & turtles, the 77 papers & summary reports (as well as abstracts of presented posters) included in the proceedings represent the combined efforts of more than 130 authors & 35 reviewers. The material presented in this 494-page volume, organized by the major subject areas of the 1993 conference, roughly corresponds to the daily sessions of the meeting: Direct & Indirect Threats to Habitat; Direct Loss of Population - Disease, Predation, & Human Exploitation; Breeding, Repatriation, & Relocation; Applications of Demography, Ecology, & Genetics to Conservation; Status Reports; Species Recovery & Management Strategies; Reserves & Programs; & Integrated Management Strategies & Public Policy. Abstracts of the presented posters appear in a separate section. "Together the papers in this volume lay the groundwork for what one might call a theoretical basis for the science of chelonian conservation, an exercise that has never been attempted before."--Peter C. H. Pritchard, author ENCYCLOPEDIA OF TURTLES. Direct inquiries to: [email protected].
