    What Works in Conservation 2020 (2020)
    Cambridge : Open Book Publishers
    Details Availability
    Keywords: Biodiversity conservation ; Electronic books
    Description / Table of Contents: Is reduced tillage in arable fields beneficial for farmland biodiversity?Is prescribed burning in grasslands beneficial for bird conservation?Does livestock exclusion from degraded peatlands benefit peatland conservation?Is the provision of artificial shelters effective for subtidal benthic invertebrate conservation?Do wind turbine modifications reduce bat fatalities? Does adding topsoil increase the abundance of heathland plants?Are interventions to reduce road impacts on amphibians effective?Do herbicides control invasive parrot's feather?What Works in Conservation has been created to provide practitioners with answers to these and many other questions about practical conservation. This book provides an assessment of the effectiveness of conservation interventions based on summarized scientific evidence. The 2020 edition contains new material on mammals, birds, marine benthic invertebrates, bat conservation and wetlands. Other chapters cover practical global conservation of primates, peatlands, shrublands and heathlands, management of captive animals as well as an extended chapter on control of freshwater invasive species, the global conservation of amphibians, bats, birds and forests, conservation of European farmland biodiversity and some aspects of enhancing natural pest control, enhancing soil fertility and control of freshwater invasive species. It contains key results from the summarized evidence for each conservation intervention and an assessment of the effectiveness of each by international expert panels. The accompanying website www.conservationevidence.com describes each of the studies individually, and provides full references.This is the fifth edition of What Works in Conservation, which is revised on an annual basis.Arcadia, DEFRA, ESRC, MAVA Foundation, NERC, Natural England, Robert Bosch Stiftung, Synchronicity Earth, South West

    Terrestrial Mammal Conservation : global evidence for the effects of interventions for terrestrial mammals excluding bats and primates (2020)
    Cambridge : Open Book Publishers
    Details Availability
    Keywords: Biodiversity conservation ; Electronic books ; Säugetiere ; Tierschutz ; Biodiversität
    Description / Table of Contents: Terrestrial Mammal Conservation provides a thorough summary of the available scientific evidence of what is known, or not known, about the effectiveness of all of the conservation actions for wild terrestrial mammals across the world (excluding bats and primates, which are covered in separate synopses). Actions are organized into categories based on the International Union for Conservation of Nature classifications of direct threats and conservation actions. Over the course of fifteen chapters, the authors consider interventions as wide ranging as creating uncultivated margins around fields, prescribed burning, setting hunting quotas and removing non-native mammals.This book is written in an accessible style and is designed to be an invaluable resource for anyone concerned with the practical conservation of terrestrial mammals.The authors consulted an international group of terrestrial mammal experts and conservationists to produce this synopsis. Funding was provided by the MAVA Foundation, Arcadia and National Geographic Big Cats Initiative.Terrestrial Mammal Conservation is the seventeenth publication in the Conservation Evidence Series, linked to the online resource www.ConservationEvidence.com. Conservation Evidence Synopses are designed to promote a more evidence-based approach to biodiversity conservation. Others in the series include Bat Conservation, Primate Conservation, Bird Conservation and Forest Conservation and more are in preparation. Expert assessment of the evidence summarised within synopses is provided online and within the annual publication What Works in Conservation.
