Biodiversity Hotspots Through Time. Using the Past to Manage the Future. 2007. illus. 167 p. 4to. Paper bd.
From the introduction: We know a lot about how our planet has been altered and recovered in the past, both in deep time and through prehistory. Linking this knowledge to conservation action has not been widely practised, by either the palaeoecology or the conservationcommunities. Long-term data, however, have much to offer currentconservation practice. We identify areas for productive collaborationand some key synergies for work in the near future to enable ourknowledge of the past to be used for conservation action in the here andnow.
