The study of protection of biodiversity is called conservation sciences. It is interdisciplinary in nature. This book elucidates new techniques and their applications in a multidisciplinary approach for a better understanding of conservation science. It aims to provide its readers a broad spectrum of topics dealing with care, protection and conservation of species and ecosystem. The text highlights in detail the various processes by which the nature and its resources could be preserved and maintained. This book is a vital tool for all researching or studying this science as it gives incredible insights into emerging trends and concepts. A number of latest researches have been included to keep the readers up-to-date with the global concepts in this area of study.
