 A Lecture by

Sahotra Sarkar

 

The Aims and Structure
of Conservation Biology

 

When conservation biology emerged as an identifiable organized discipline in the late 1980s, it was already apparent that it would have to draw its principles and practices from many different biological specialties including genetics, evolution, and especially ecology. However, besides this single point of agreement, the practice of conservation biology diverged radically in different cultural and political contexts.
