EX SITU PLANT CONSERVATION
Supporting Species Survival in the Wild
Edited by Edward O. Guerrant Jr., Kayri Havens and Mike Maunder

Faced with widespread and devastating loss of biodiversity in wild
habitats, scientists have developed innovative strategies for studying and
protecting targeted plant and animal species in "off-site" facilities such
as botanic gardens and zoos. Such ex situ work is an increasingly
important component of conservation and restoration efforts.

EX SITU PLANT CONSERVATION edited by Edward O. Guerrant Jr., Kayri Havens,
and Mike Maunder, is the first book to address integrated plant
conservation strategies and to examine the scientific, technical, and
strategic bases of the ex situ approach. The book examines where and how
ex situ investment can best support in situ conservation. EX SITU PLANT
CONSERVATION outlines the role, value, and limits of ex situ conservation
as well as updating best management practices for the field, and is an
invaluable resource for plant conservation practitioners at botanic
gardens, zoos, and other conservation organizations; students and faculty
in conservation biology and related fields; managers of protected areas
and other public and private lands; and policymakers and members of the
international community concerned with species conservation.
