Why Animal Conservation?

Conservation biology is a discipline that has come of age. Over the past ten–fifteen years we have seen it develop, from a topic that many academics saw as peripheral and quirky into mainstream biological science. Conservation biology is now routinely taught on degree level courses, the number of papers published in the specialist academic literature has risen exponentially, and the citation rates of those journals continue to increase.
