This book demonstrates that trade-offs can be very important for
conservationists. Its various chapters show how and why trade-offs
are made, and why conservationists need to think very hard about
what, if anything, to do about them. The book argues that
conservationists must carefully weigh up, and be explicit about, the
trade-offs that they make every day in deciding what to save.
