Summary
To obtain an overview of the book, we suggest you return to the Take-home messages and read them again. For students revising for examinations, you should find the boxes at the front of chapters plus the small main point boxes in the margin assist you in revision.
We trust that you have found this book informative, thought-provoking and interesting and that it will assist in your future conservation activities. The Earth's biodiversity is being lost at a frightening rate, so we must act now to conserve our life support system. Extinction is for ever.
