Talk:Applied Ecology/Introduction

This book arose from a discussion point in the Ecology Wikibook, which pointed to the need for 'conservation management' to be included. I have close contact with university students and land managers, where the need seems to be for a text book on applied ecology that centres on the long-term sustainable management of the outcomes of things like, reclamation of industrial sites, and reintroductions of rare species. This would obviously grow into a big project, with distinctive subject matter, so I decided to start it as a separate book. It is at a very early stage, and I must say I miss the availability of integral Wiki software for making mind maps. Its not so easy to reorganise what are essentially provisional basic topics, but 'there you go'--Denis Bellamy 07:54, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
