This book offers a novel approach to the new science of conservation biogeography by examining the role of this science and its integration with social science research in advancing new knowledge about sustainable environmental management. It offers a new perspective and integration of the shared roles of cultural biogeography and the environmental aspects of economics, anthropology, psychology and history, providing a background for conservation management as well as effective advice and applicable tools for environmental studies. In addition, the book also considers conservation biology, biogeography and cultural biogeography as sister and founding disciplines of conservation biogeography and offers meaningful, illustrative case studies. For academic researchers, this illustrates an integration of paradigmatically different disciplines for conservation management. For students, it provides a fundamental assessment of multidisciplinary training for conservation practice. For practitioners and policymakers, it provides an analytical tool for more responsive and conscious environmental protection. For futurists, it contributes to understanding trends in environmental change.
