Wildlife Conservation on Farmland Vol 1

It is remarkable that these diverse studies are edited to generate such a great coherence. [...] Taken together, this volume fills an important gap, since it links vital aspects for policy, conservation, and management with a nuanced overview building on local to regional examples. In times of ever shorter publications, this book is a valuable contribution. It provides diverse and layered information, just as the topic of wildlife conservation in farmland that it focuses on. * Henrik von Wehrden, The Quarterly Review of Biology * Overall, this is a testament to the achievements of David Macdonald with WildCRU, and these volumes now make his experiences and views generally available. As the chapters are extensively referenced, they are important source-works that will be of value to all concerned with wildlife conservation on lowland farmland in the UK. The books can be recommended without reservation. * David L. Hawksworth, Biodiversity and Conservation * The research is compelling ... due to the clear writing style and plethora of case-studies, both volumes will be useful in the classroom, as well. Wildlife Conservation on Farmland is a must read * Samantha Noll, Biological Conservation * Chapters in this book are very authoritative and they contain a wealth of knowledge and often thought-provoking suggestions for the future. * Daria Dadam, BTO * The publication offers on a plate four decades of blood, sweat, and tears from a wide range of scientists. It gives a good overview of what high-quality conservation science is all about. It is well written and well presented. * David Kleijn, TREE * [This book] definitely can provide ideas to scientists and conservationists in tropical and subtropical areas, where intensive agriculture practices are rapidly destroying natural areas, who wish to convince farmers of the long-term advantages of sustainable farming and biodiversity-friendly practices. * Gabor Pozsgai, Conservation Biology *
