Yet, how does one put this theoretical knowledge into practice? The aim of \u003ci\u003eThe Conservation Handbook\u003c\/i\u003e is to provide clear guidance on the implementation of conservation techniques. The wide range of methods described include those for ecological research, monitoring, planning, education, habitat management and combining conservation with development. Nineteen case studies illustrate how the methods have been applied.
