About the Cover
Brown pelicans (Pelecanus occidentalis) represent a conservation success story.
Pelican numbers had declined in the United States, with the pesticide DDT
identified as the cause of thinning eggshells and a lack of reproduction. Since its
listing under the U.S. Endangered Species Act in 1970 and the banning of DDT,
brown pelican numbers have increased substantially. Because of this recovery,
the brown pelican was removed from listing under the Act in 2009. (Photograph

Preface
After decades of public interest in nature and the environment, the United Nations
focused worldwide attention on conservation by declaring 2010 to be the Interna-
tional Year of Biodiversity. The general public has absorbed this message and is ask-
ing its political leaders to provide the policy changes needed to address this issue.
Conservation biology is the field that seeks to study and protect the living world
and its biological diversity (or biodiversity in its shortened form). The field emerged
during the last 35 years as a major new discipline to address the alarming loss of
biological diversity. The threats to biodiversity are all too real, as demonstrated by
the recent recognition. that fully one-third of amphibian species are in danger of ex-
tinction. At the same time, our need to remain hopeful is highlighted, for exam-
ple, by increasing sea turtle populations at many locations throughout the world
following comprehensive conservation efforts. Many examples described in this
book show that governments, individuals, and conservation organizations can work
together to make the world a better place for nature.
    Evidence of the explosive increase of interest in conservation biology is shown
by the rapidly increasing membership in the Society for Conservation Biology, the
great intellectual excitement displayed in many journals and newsletters, and the
large numbers of new edited books and advanced texts that appear almost week-
ly. International conservation organizations have emerged to tackle conservation
issues with a multi-disciplinary approach, and an Encyclopedia of Life is being de-
veloped as an online resource to provide the needed information for conservation
issues.
    University students continue to enroll enthusiastically and in large numbers in
conservation biology courses. Previous editions of Essentials of Conservation Biolo-
gy have provided a comprehensive textbook for this subject. (The Primer of Conser-
vation Biology, in its Fourth Edition, continues to fill the need for a "quick" guide
for those who want a basic familiarity with conservation biology.) The Fifth Edition
of Essentials provides a thorough introduction to the major concepts and problems
of the field. Like its predecessors, it is designed for use in conservation biology
courses, and also as a supplemental text for general biology, ecology, wildlife biol-
ogy, and environmental policy courses. The book is also intended to serve as a de-
tailed guide for professionals who require a comprehensive background in the sub-
ject. Readers should enjoy and benefit from the updated full-color illustration and
photo program. Highlighted synopses of major points in the text have been added
as sidebars and serve as useful study aids.
    This Fifth Edition reflects the excitement and new developments in the field. It
provides coverage of the latest information available on a number of topics, includ-
ing the expanding system of marine protected areas and linkages between conser-
vation and global change. It also highlights new approaches culled from the liter-
ature on topics such as species reintroductions, population viability analysis,
protected areas management, and payments for ecosystem services. Also new to
this edition is an Instructor's Resource CD, available to qualified adopting instruc-
tors of the text. This IRCD includes electronic versions of all the figures, photos,
and tables from the textbook.
xiv   Preface
                    In keeping with the international approach of conservation biology, I feel it is im-
                portant to make the field accessible to as wide an audience as possible. With the as-
                sistance of Marie Scavotto and the staff of Sinauer Associates, I have arranged an
                active translation program, beginning in 1995 with translations into German and
                Chinese in 1997. It became clear to me that the best way to make the material acces-
                sible was to create regional or country-specific translations, identifying local scien-
                tists to become coauthors and to add case studies, examples, and illustrations from
                their own countries and regions that would be more relevant to the intended au-
                dience. To that end, in the past 12 years, editions of Essentials have appeared in Ara-
                bic, Hungarian, Romanian, and Spanish with a Latin American focus; and the Primer
                has appeared in Brazilian Portuguese, Chinese (two editions), Czech, Estonian,
                French with a Madagascar focus, Greek, Indonesian (two editions), Italian, Japan-
                ese (two editions), Korean (two editions), Mongolian, Romanian, Russian, Spanish,
                and Vietnamese. New editions of the Primer for France, South Asia, Pakistan, Turkey,
                and the Czech Republic are currently in production. It is my hope that these trans-
                lations will help conservation biology develop as a discipline with a global scope.
                At the same time, examples from these translations find their way back into the
                English language editions, thereby enriching the presentation.
                    I hope that readers of this book will want to find out more about the extinction
                crisis facing species and ecosystems and how they can take action to halt it. I en-
                courage readers to take the field's activist spirit to heart-use the Appendix to find
                organizations and sources of information on how to help. If readers gain a greater
                appreciation for the goals, methods, and importance of conservation biology, and
                if they are moved to make a difference in their everyday lives, this textbook will
                have served its purpose.
                Acknowledgments
                I sincerely appreciate the contribution of everyone who helped make this book ac-
                curate and clear. Individual chapters in this edition were reviewed by Dana Bauer,
                Patrick Bohlen, Katrina Brandon, Sue Bratton, Phil Cafaro, Linus Chen, Richard Cor-
                lett, Chris Elphick, Richard Frankham, Elizabeth Freeman, Richard Griffiths, Susan
                Jacobson, Christopher Johnson, Jeff McNeely, Michael Reed, Tom Ricciardi, Marcos
                Robles, Eric Seabloom, Jodi Sedlock, Howard Snell, and Navjot Sodhi. Les Kaufman
                of Boston University provided expertise on marine systems in all chapters.
                    Numerous people offered specialized input that helped make the boxes and case
                studies current and accurate. I would particularly like to recognize the contribu-
                tions of Kamal Bawa, Steve Bousquin, Marlin Bowles, David Bray, Jim Estes, Ed
                Guerrant, Shen Guozhen, Kayri Havens, Rob Horwich, Daniel Janzen, Lukas Keller,

                Simmons, Lisa Sorenson, Michael Thompson, Sebastian Troenig, David Western,
                Tony Whitten, Peter Wrege, Miriam Wyman, and Truman Young.
                    Rachel Morrison was the principal research assistant and organizer for the proj-
                ect, with additional help from Jin Chung, Libby Ellwood, Elysia Heilig, Heather
                Lieb, Farah Mohammedzadeh, Rebecca Norklun, Caroline Folgar, and Lily Smith.
                Sydney Carroll and Kathaleen Emerson provided invaluable help in the produc-
                tion of the book, with numerous suggestions on how to make the book friendlier
                to student readers. Andy Sinauer, Chris Small, David McIntyre, Joan Gemme and
                the rest of the Sinauer staff helped to transform the manuscript into a finished book.
                    Special thanks are due to my wife Margaret and my children Dan, Will, and Jasper
                for encouraging me to fulfill an important personal goal by completing this book.
                I would like to recognize Boston University for providing me with the facilities and
                                                                                       Preface   xv
environment that made this project possible and the many Boston University stu-
dents who have taken my conservation biology courses over the years. Their en-
thusiasm and suggestions have helped me to find new ways to present this mate-
rial. And lastly, I would like to express my great appreciation to my coauthors in
other countries who have worked with me to produce conservation biology text-
books in their own languages, which are critical for spreading the message of con-

   (Advertising for pupils in newspapers was not the usual rule
among Quaker masters in early Pennsylvania, though some
cases occurred. 345 advertisements from 1730 to 1790 have
been noted in various newspapers of the period. Of a list of
seventy Quakers who are known to have taught school, only 15
were found in the list of advertisers. The papers examined were
the Weekly Mercury, Pennsylvania Gazette, Freeman’s Journal,
Evening Post, Pennsylvania Journal and Weekly Advertiser, Pa.
Packet, and the Pa. Chronicle; also the Courrier Francais (which
is not mentioned in the bibliography).)
