Fundamentals and Implementation of Biodiversity Conservation

Fundamentals and Implementation of Biodiversity Conservation offers a clear and comprehensive introduction to the science of biodiversity and the urgent need to protect it. Structured across six in-depth units, this textbook equips students, educators, and nature enthusiasts with the knowledge and tools to understand, study, and conserve the vast diversity of life on Earth.

Starting with foundational concepts, the book explains what biodiversity is, why it matters, and how it supports ecosystems, economies, and human well-being. From plant taxonomy and classification to the behavior, ecology, and evolution of mammals, birds, amphibians, and reptiles, each chapter blends scientific theory with real-world relevance.

Key conservation strategies are explored, including habitat protection, species monitoring, and both in-situ and ex-situ methods. Special attention is given to biodiversity hotspots, the impacts of climate change, and the ethical, cultural, and economic value of biodiversity.

What sets this book apart is its integrated approach—connecting ecological science with conservation practice. Clear explanations, structured content, and end-of-unit exercises make it ideal for classroom use, research support, or personal study.

Whether you’re exploring biodiversity for the first time or deepening your understanding of conservation efforts, this book serves as a vital resource for engaging with one of the most important environmental challenges of our time.
