Forest wildlife conservation is critically required in many parts of the world today. This text presents a merger between the elements of wildlife conservation and habitat conservation, and how this can be used to promote the conservation of vertebrates in forests around the world. This book should be of interest to conservation biologists; wildlife managers; policy decision makers (forestry, departments of wildlife management, fisheries etc.); nature conservancy personnel; ecologists; foresters; wildlife biologists; and rangers.
