註釋In July 1993 a remarkable group of ecologists, conservationists, land managers, government officials, & policy-makers representing 25 nations gathered at Purchase, New York, to attend a conference devoted to the conservation, restoration, & management of tortoises & turtles. Offering just a glimpse of the troubled conservation status of the world's 270-plus species of tortoises & turtles, the 77 papers & summary reports (as well as abstracts of presented posters) included in the proceedings represent the combined efforts of more than 130 authors & 35 reviewers. The material presented in this 494-page volume, organized by the major subject areas of the 1993 conference, roughly corresponds to the daily sessions of the meeting: Direct & Indirect Threats to Habitat; Direct Loss of Population - Disease, Predation, & Human Exploitation; Breeding, Repatriation, & Relocation; Applications of Demography, Ecology, & Genetics to Conservation; Status Reports; Species Recovery & Management Strategies; Reserves & Programs; & Integrated Management Strategies & Public Policy. Abstracts of the presented posters appear in a separate section. "Together the papers in this volume lay the groundwork for what one might call a theoretical basis for the science of chelonian conservation, an exercise that has never been attempted before."--Peter C. H. Pritchard, author ENCYCLOPEDIA OF TURTLES. Direct inquiries to: jimvan@easyway.net.
