Monitoring Animal Populations and Their Habitats : A Practitioner's Guide

Abstract

This book provides a framework that managers of natural resources can use to design monitoring programs that will benefit future generations by providing the information needed to make informed decisions. In addition the authors offer tools and approaches that engage individuals in our society in monitoring programs. The authors firmly believe that people and communities who are empowered in the design and implementation of monitoring programs are more likely to use the information that results from the program, and support it over time.
