Titre : Conservation technology Type de document : livre Auteurs : Serge A. Wich, Auteur ; Alex K. Piel, Auteur Editeur : New York : Oxford University Press, NY Année de publication : 2021 Importance : 297 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-885025-0 Prix : 37.99 GBP Note générale : DOI:10.1093/oso/9780198850243.001.0001 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Nature conservation Technology Data collection Résumé : La 4ème de couv. indique : "The global loss of biodiversity is occurring at an unprecedented pace. Despite the considerable effort devoted to conservation science and management, we still lack the basic data on the distribution and density of most animal and plant species, which in turn hampers our efforts to study changes over time. In addition, we often lack behavioural data from the very animals most influenced by environmental changes; this is largely due to the financial and logistical limitations associated with gathering scientific data on animals that are either widely distributed, cryptic, or negatively influenced by human presence.
To overcome these limitations, conservationists are increasingly integrating/employing/incorporating technology to facilitate such data collection. The use of camera traps, acoustic sensors, satellite data, drones, and sophisticated computer algorithms to analyse the large datasets collected are becoming increasingly common. Although there are several specialist books on some of these technologies, there is currently no overarching volume that describes the available technology for conservation and evaluates its varied applications. This edited volume will fill this void, bringing together a team of international experts using a diverse range of approaches."Note de contenu : Companion website at : https://global.oup.com/booksites/content/9780198850243/ En ligne : https://global.oup.com/academic/product/conservation-technology-9780198850243?cc [...] Conservation technology [livre] / Serge A.
