ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-4214-3756-9 Prix : 74.95 USD Note générale : ISBN-10 : 1-4214-3756-2 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Natural resources  Resource conservation  Wildlife management  Decision making  Case studies Résumé : La 4ème de couv. indique : When faced with complicated, potentially controversial decisions that affect our environment, many resource management agencies have come to realize the value of structured decision making (SDM)—the systematic use of principles and tools of decision analysis. Few professionals, however, have extensive experience implementing SDM. Structured Decision Making provides key information to both current adopters of the method and those who are deploying it for the first time by demonstrating the formal use of decision analysis to support difficult, real-world natural resource management decisions. Drawing on case studies from multiple public agencies in the United States, Canada, Australia, and Mauritius, the editors present an overview of decision analysis, a classification of decision types, and a catalog of decision analysis methods. Dozens of detailed charts and maps help contextualize the material. These case studies examine a rich variety of topics, including: *keeping forest birds free from disease *conserving imperiled freshwater mussels *managing water for oil sands mining *safeguarding coastal wetlands in the face of sea-level rise *designing networks for prairie-dependent taxa *combatting invasive alpine shrubs *managing vernal pool habitats for obligate amphibian species Aimed at decision makers tackling natural resource challenges in government agencies around the world, as well as advanced undergraduate and graduate students preparing to work in natural resource management, Structured Decision Making shows how SDM can be implemented to achieve optimal outcomes that integrate social values and scientific understanding.

Roads and ecological infrastructure: concepts and applications for small animals / Kimberly M. Andrews (2015)  

Public ISBD Titre : Roads and ecological infrastructure: concepts and applications for small animals Type de document : livre Auteurs : Kimberly M. Andrews, Éditeur scientifique ; Priya Nanjappa, Éditeur scientifique ; Seth P. D. Riley, Éditeur scientifique Editeur : Baltimore, Maryland : Johns Hopkins University Press Année de publication : 2015 Autre Editeur : Bethesta, Maryland [Etats-Unis] : The Wildlife Society Collection : Wildlife management and conservation Importance : 281 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-4214-1639-7 Prix : 75.00 USD Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Wildlife conservation  Animal behavior  Wildlife crossings  Roads  Infrastructure Résumé : Few of us think twice about driving on roads. Yet the very presence of roads and the act of driving on them can impact the ecological infrastructure that supports an animal’s daily life. What chance does a turtle have of successfully laying its eggs when it needs to traverse a busy highway? Is it realistic to expect small mammals to breed when an interstate thoroughfare subdivides their population? These are the sorts of challenges faced by small, often slow-moving, animals, challenges that road engineers and ecologists are trying to address. For countless small species, vehicles traveling at high speeds are nothing less than missiles shooting across migration pathways. For too many animals, the danger can lead to the loss of populations, in part because they simply are not programmed to react to traffic. Salamanders faced with a two-lane road between the forest and their aquatic breeding site, for example, will typically cross that road regardless of the congestion. The result can be hundreds of flattened animals in a single night. Roads and Ecological Infrastructure is the first book to focus on reducing conflict between roads and small animals. Highlighting habitat connections and the challenges and solutions from both transportation and ecological perspectives, the volume covers various themes, including animal behavior related to roads and design approaches to mitigate the negative effects of roads on wildlife. The chapter authors—from transportation experts to university researchers—each promote a goal of realistic problem solving. Conceptual and practical, this book will influence the next decade or more of road design in ecologically sensitive areas and should prevent countless unnecessary wildlife fatalities.
