Industry Reviews

From the reviews:

"Conservation in the 21st Century is a collection of papers wherein authors summarize the threats faced by wild gorillas and describe the diverse conservation efforts in place to try and save them. The 17 chapters address a wide array of topics, ranging from census methods to international policy. ... the volume provides a wide-angle snapshot of the gorilla conservation landscape. It will be useful to anyone interested in what's going on out there." (Kelly Stewart, International Journal of Primatology, Vol. 29, 2008)
