An Approach for Managing Vertebrate Diversity Across Multiple-Use Landscapes

Abstract

There is widespread agreement that biological diversity is valuable and that it is rapidly being lost (Myers 1979, Wilson 1988, Soulé 1991). Consequently, the conservation of biodiversity has emerged as a major international issue, and numerous laws, research initiatives, and management strategies have been enacted. Yet, biological diversity continues to decline even in wealthy and technologically advanced countries (Ehrlich and Wilson 1991). The “endangered species” approach of protecting species after they are at risk is insufficient for several reasons (Rohlf 1991, Mann and Plummer 1992). Nature preservation is also failing because reserves are often too few, too small, and too isolated to maintain natural processes and species (Pickett and Thompson 1978, Noss and Harris 1986, Newmark 1987, Hunter 1991).
