Conducting Research in Conservation [EPUB ebook] 
Social Science Methods and Practice

This is the first textbook on social science research methods for use in the expanding and increasingly multidisciplinary field of environmental conservation. It is divided into five useful sections and illustrated throughout with practical examples of conservation-related research from different parts of the world (Europe, the Americas, Africa, Asia, Australia) and different ecosystems (forests, grasslands, desert, marine and riverine systems; also farmland and home gardens). It will be an invaluable tool in the training of the next generation of conservation professionals.
