Biodiversity is the variety and variability of life forms present in different geographical regions. It is a result of different climatic patterns and geographic settings. Biological systems may range from micro to macro that is they can exist in a form as small as mitochondria and as big as rainforests. Conservation aims at protecting habitats, ecosystems and species to maintain ecological balance. This book strives to provide extensive information on abundance, diversity and distribution of genes, species and ecosystems, components of biodiversity and effect of disturbance on ecosystems, species and populations, etc. It is compiled in such a manner, that it will provide in-depth knowledge about the theory and practice of this field. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book. It will serve as an essential guide for environmentalists, ecologists, conservationists, biologists, researchers and students alike.

Tree Kangaroos: Science and Conservation
<p><i>Tree Kangaroos: Science and Conservation</i>, a volume in the <i>Biodiversity of the World: Conservation from Genes to Landscapes </i>series, provides an overview of tree kangaroo species and their relationship with humans. This exciting, interdisciplinary work on tree kangaroo science and conservation is divided into six major sections: (1) tree kangaroo evolution, genetics, taxonomy, ecology, behavior, and conservation status&#x3b; (2) current and emerging threats to the species&#x3b; (3) conservation programs in Australia and New Guinea with an emphasis on the human aspect of conservation&#x3b; (4) the role of zoos in conservation solutions&#x3b; (5) techniques and technologies to study this elusive marsupial&#x3b; and (6) what is needed to keep tree kangaroos and their landscapes healthy in the future. </p> <p>The series on <i>Biodiversity of the World: Conservation from Genes to Landscapes</i> includes titles focused on specific species or taxa across disciplinary boundaries and spatial scales--from genes to landscapes. Volumes are edited and written by prominent scholars and practitioners to illuminate and advance biodiversity science and conservation.</p>
