Wetland conservation : a review of current issues and required action
   

There is today a growing awareness that many wetlands are more valuable in their natural, or only slightly modified state, than if drained, dyked or built upon. Past neglect of wetlands has meant that there is insufficient material available on policy guidance, planning techniques, or management methodologies for their conservation and sustainable use in different regions. This publication begins to redress the balance by reviewing the importance of wetlands, examining the reasons for wetland loss, and identifying ways and means to improve wetland management
Rabbits, hares and pikas : status survey and conservation action plan
    Chapman, Joseph A. | Flux, John E.C.

This Action Plan provides an overview of the state of knowledge about all species of lagomorphs, provides a contemporary framework about their importance to humans and the world’s ecosystems, reviews their status on a worldwide scale, and makes recommendations for conservation action to prevent the extinction of any lagomorph species and to allow their populations to recover to safe and production levels.
Otters : an action plan for their conservation
    Foster-Turley, Pat | Macdonald, S. M. | Mason, C. F.

This Action Plan gives an overview of otter biology and the conservation issues that affect all 13 species, and also practical guidelines and cautions to those intending to pursue conservation projects on otters. The final chapter summarises the actions that need to be taken to conserve all species of otters worldwide for the long-term future.
Foxes, wolves, jackals and dogs : an action plan for the conservation of canids
African insectivora and elephant-shrews : an action plan for their conservation
African elephants and rhinos : status survey and conservation action plan
The Asian elephant : an action plan for its conservation
    Santiapillai, Charles | Jackson, Peter

This Action Plan considers elephant populations across Asia on the basis of size and provides recommendations to enhance their long-term survival. It also considers the management of elephants in captivity.

Given that the basis for improved management of elephants throughout Asia must be sound systematic scientific research, the Action Plan recommends a number of research projects that need to be carried out in the field.

This book suggests the principles and tools that are available to promote the new civilization, base don community self-reliance, diversity in both nature and human cultures, economic systems that consider all costs and benefits of alternative actions, scientific research that is applied to managing natural resources, and the use of modern information technology to ensure that decisions are based on full knowledge of the likely consequences.
