Based on our results, we show the critical importance of the ‘wildlife preservation’ approach for effective biodiversity conservation. The study also provides examples of a practical application of rigorous methods of quantitative sampling of different plant and animal taxa as well as human influences, thus serving as a useful manual for protected area managers. Protected\nareas of various kinds have been established in India with the goal of\narresting decline in, and to provide for, recovery of biodiversity and\necosystem services. A model that targets ‘wildlife preservation’ under state\nownership is practiced across the country. However, forests in India are under\nintensive human pressure and varying levels of protection; therefore,protected\nareas may also experience open-access resource use, a model that is being\naggressively advocated as a viable alternative to ‘preservationism’. We have\nevaluated the conservation efficacy of alternative forest management models by\nquantifying levels of biodiversity under varied levels of access, resource\nextraction and degree of state-sponsored protection in the Nagarahole forest\nlandscape of southwestern India.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-09-02\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789811009099\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-981-10-0911-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 111\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Nature Singapore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44398770225292,"sku":"9789811009099","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789811009099.jpg?v=1776521362","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789811009099","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
