Description
Book SynopsisThis comprehensive manual provides guidance to the legal mechanisms used to protect wildlife and to conserve nature in the UK. For each section (e.g. trees, hedgerows, SSIs, protected species) there is an introduction covering the scale of the problem, the level of decline of the species and why there is a need to protect.
Trade Review"this is a most practical book...it is well worth the attention of those involved in wildlife conservation or protecting the environment" "It also provides an excellent resource for veterinarians, biologists and others pursuing the many graduate and undergraduate courses which feature wildlife conservation law, ecology or planning."
"It should definitely be on appropriate library shelves and course reading lists."
