Current State of the Book<\/strong><\/h4>\n

This wikibook project is in its first stage, which is to decide the chapters to be included and summarise what they should contain. At the present time, editorial effort is directed towards the writing of introductions to each chapter. This is also a process of selecting the main subsections for each chapter. These will eventually appear as \u2018pages\u2019 indented in the table of contents. Contributors are reminded that it is a textbook to provide an up to date review of important areas of applied ecological knowledge for advanced level university students and site managers.<\/p>\n

Applied ecology<\/a> is a framework for the application of knowledge about ecosystems so that actions can be taken to create a better balance and harmony between people and nature in order to reduce human impact on other beings and their habitats.<\/p>\n

Scope<\/strong><\/h4>\n
In Situ and Ex Situ Conservation Systems<\/h5>\n

With respect to scope, it is intended that the book should contain a body of knowledge about the use of ecological theory<\/a> and principles to solve problems associated with the intensive human use of the environment. It is beyond our capacity to return Earth to a primeval state, but what we can do is build a technological \u2018ark\u2019 to retain as much ecological integrity as possible. To achieve this, many aspects of ecology have to be applied to manage conservation systems where the maintenance, restoration, and creation of diverse and healthy ecosystems are principal objectives.<\/p>\n

Some conservation systems may be broadly classified as in situ operations. These include:<\/p>\n
