The Nile on eBay   Restoration of Endangered Species by Marlin L. Bowles, Christopher J. Whelan

An examination of how we can restore ecosystems damaged by human impact, with a range of case studies.

FORMATPaperback LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description

As the human impact on the earth leads to ever increasing environmental degradation, the restoration of dwindling populations of numerous plant and animal species is becoming ever more important.
