Bringing Conservation to Cities is a timely and informative expose of what it takes to foster a conservation ethic in a major urban area--complete with critical lessons learned--and to simultaneously inspire and develop the next generation of urban conservationists. The book explores the new urban conservation frontier, with its numerous challenges and opportunities, and fosters more urban conservation initiatives throughout the world. 410 0$aEcovision world monograph series. 606 $aConservation projects (Natural resources) 606 $aWildlife refuges 607 $aDetroit River International Wildlife Refuge (Mich.) 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aConservation projects (Natural resources) 615 0$aWildlife refuges. 676 $a333.72 700 $aHartig$b John H.$01030210 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910467733503321 996 $aBringing conservation to cities$92447020 997 $aUNINA
