This book demonstrates the range of information and viewpoints that critically acknowledges the gaps and weaknesses in local, regional and hemispheric ecologies, as well as helps in understanding the limitations and barriers to accomplishing critical nature conservation projects. The book, through original research, enunciates the linkages between the geographical foci of conservation projects and the biological substances that we theorize as "nature". The reader will come across perspectives of diminishing spatial scales, from smaller to larger landscapes or larger proportions of the Earth, and learns that the length of factors that assist and limit conservation through the application of scholarship and academic concepts develop with the space in question. The book mirrors disciplinary multiplicity and a co-mingling of science and social science to aid in understanding of the patterns of, pressures on, and prospects for conservation.
