Requests:  0 Summary:  "How many species may perish as a result of climate change and other associated threats? Saving a Million Species addresses this question. Leaders from relevant disciplines synthesize the literature, refine the original estimates, and elaborate the conservation and policy implications. The ultimate goal of this book is to suggest ways to stem a wave of extinctions due to climate change. By understanding the drivers and magnitude of change, policymakers and conservationists should gain critical insights into effective responses"-- Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information No Item Information
