Indeed, such important considerations as the economic valuation of biodiversity, the importance of cultural diversity, methods for financing conservation projects and the use of conservation strategies are scarcely discussed. However, the policies are derived from current knowledge of biogeography, conservation biology, genetics, and systematics, and from population, community, and landscape ecology. ER -
