This book offers a novel approach to the new science of conservation biogeography, for the more effective assessment and management of humananimal relationships, supported by natural and social science perspectives and technological developments. Conservation biogeography offers a deeper understanding of the modern context of rapid environmental change, politicized and polarized opinions on conservation, and the role for computational technology. Conservation biogeography includes individual perspectives within conservation psychology and group-based issues in broad social, economic, and political contexts. Concepts examined include intersections between wildlife charisma and conservation, perspectives on trophy hunting and humanenvironment relationships, environmental applications of geomatics, and computerization. This book contributes to the interests of academic researchers, students, practitioners and policymakers, and general readers.

Emphasizes the critical interface between conservation biogeography and the social sciences Presents interesting case studies from diverse continents in emerging environmental issues Examines future directions of conservation biogeography, including the use of geomatics
