Description
Book SynopsisThis pioneering study focuses on a new tool for resolving the land-use conflict--the creation of habitat conservation plans.
Trade ReviewOverall, I strongly recommend it for geographers and planners interested in conservation in and near urban areas, and for anyone who needs further evidence of the very real difficulties involved in finding 'win-win' outcomes to conflicts in the United States between economic development and biodiversity protection. * Professional Geographer *
