This richly illustrated volume not only documents those aspects of U.S. biodiversity that are particularly noteworthy, but also considers how species and ecosystems are faring, what is threatening them, and what is needed to protect the nation's remaining natural inheritance. 410 0$aOxford scholarship online. 606 $aBiodiversity conservation$zUnited States 606 $aConservation of natural resources$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aBiodiversity conservation 615 0$aConservation of natural resources 676 $a333.950973 676 $a333.95160973 701 $aAdams$b Jonathan S$0931975 701 $aKutner$b Lynn S$0931976 701 $aStein$b Bruce A.$f1955-$0931977 712 02$aAssociation for Biodiversity Information. 712 02$aNature Conservancy (U.S.) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453825603321 996 $aPrecious heritage$92096264 997 $aUNINA
