The rapidly increasing number of threatened flora and fauna species worldwide is one of the chief problems confronting environmental professionals today. This problem is largely due to the impact humans have had on land use through development (e.g. agricultural, residential, industrial, infrastructure and mining developments).

Reducing the Impacts of Development on Wildlife contains a comprehensive range of practical measures to assist others to reduce the impacts resulting from development on terrestrial flora and fauna, and promotes ecologically sustainable development.

Industry Reviews

"This book should not be on the shelf of every ecologist, consultant or developer--it needs to lie open on their desk, sit at the top of their field bag and be widely discussed around the lunch-room table."--Dr Rodney van der Ree, Deputy Director
