Butterfly Conservation in South-Eastern Australia: Progress and Prospects

Beschreibung

This survey of the development of butterfly conservation in an important, largely endemic and highly threatened regional fauna of Australia demonstrates how lessons from elsewhere have been applied and developed in a relatively poorly known fauna, in which conservation targets range from single subspecies to entire biotopes and communities. Principles and practical programmes are discussed, and much hitherto scattered information is brought together in a synthesis that will be of considerable interest to ecologists, conservation biologists, and butterfly conservation practitioners in other parts of the world.
A survey of the development and practice of butterfly conservation in south east Australia, tracing evolution of the science through a series of cases from focus on single subspecies through increasing levels of ecological complexity to critical biotopes and communities. The book summarises much previously scattered information, and provides access to much regional information of considerable interest to practitioners elsewhere.
Brings Australian butterfly conservation efforts firmly to an international perspective First major synthesis /summary for the region, with many recent references Discussions of case histories demonstrate variety of approaches needed and feasible Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
