Biological Conservation Special Issue: Uncertainty and adaptive management for biodiversity conservation
ANNOUNCEMENT
Ever wonder why adaptive management is just so darn hard to make work on-the-ground and in-the-water?
David A. Keith, Tara G. Martin, Eve McDonald-Madden, and Carl Walters take a stab at answering this question in this special issue of Biological Conservation, which publishes the results of a 2009 workshop in Brisbane, Australia. From the empirical to the highly modeled, topics include:
- Embracing uncertainty
- Imaginative synthesis
- Experimental design
- Institutional barriers
- Models for policy screening
- Innovative monitoring approaches
- Conflict resolution
- Self-serving behavior
