From his call in the 1960s for the establishment of tussock-grassland reserves in the South Island high country to his involvement in the 2011-13 campaign to save the Denniston Plateau from mining, he has been a passionate and effective advocate for the preservation of areas of ecological importance. Alan's conservation activities are informed by a distinguished academic career. A staff member of the Department of Botany at the University of Otago from 1955 until his retirement in 1998, he has run and participated in numerous research projects, taught thousands of students and published 200 academic papers. As well as providing an important record of New Zealand's conservation battles and documenting the life of an outstanding New Zealander, Standing My Ground is an inspiring reminder of the power of individuals to make a difference."--Page 4 of cover. 606 $aConservation of natural resources$zNew Zealand 606 $aConservationists$zNew Zealand$vBiography 606 $aPlant ecologists$zNew Zealand$vBiography 615 0$aConservation of natural resources 615 0$aConservationists 615 0$aPlant ecologists 676 $a333.7 700 $aMark$b Alan Francis$f1932-$01654579 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822652303321 996 $aStanding my ground$94006502 997 $aUNINA
