Overview

""Monitoring Nature Conservation in Cultural Habitats"" presents monitoring as an integral component of responsible conservation management and as a catalyst for decision making. The early sections of the book cover key areas in the development of a monitoring project, including: the roles of survey and surveillance; incorporating knowledge from existing research; identifying the conservation priority on sites; minimising observer error; identifying site-specific condition indicators for habitats; and collecting monitoring data. The later sections of the book comprise a series of case studies covering a wide range of habitats and species. These case studies focus mostly, though not exclusively, on sites that form part of the ""Natura 2000"" series in Europe.
