درباره این کتاب:
This book
introduces updated information on
conservation issues, providing an
overview of what is needed to advance
the global conservation of freshwater
decapods such as freshwater crabs,
crayfish, and shrimps.
Biodiversity loss in general is highest
in organisms that depend on intact
freshwater habitats, because freshwater
ecosystems worldwide are suffering
intense threats from multiple sources.
Our understanding of the number and
location of threatened species of
decapods, and of the nature of their
extinction threats has improved greatly
in recent years, and has enabled the
development of species conservation
strategies.
This volume focuses on saving threatened
species from extinction, and emphasizes
the importance of the successful
implementation of conservation action
plans through cooperation between
scientists, conservationists, educators,
funding agencies, policy makers, and
conservation agencies.
