About the Book

Shows how an interdisciplinary approach led by planners and designers with conservation biologists, restoration ecologists, and natural and social scientists can yield successful results and sustainable practices. Minimising habitat loss and degradation-the principal causes of biodiversity decline-are at the heart of the planning and design processes and provide landscape architects and planners a chance to achieve their professional goals while taking a leading role in the environmental community.

About the Author :
Jack Ahern is professor and department head of landscape architecture and regional planning at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. He is the author of Guidebook to the Landscape Architecture of Boston (The Hubbard Trust, 1999) and editor, with Julius Fabos, of Greenways: The Beginning of an International Movement (Elsevier, 1995). The Landscape Architecture Foundation is a national nonprofit organization whose mission is the preservation, improvement, and enhancement of the environment. It accomplishes its mission through scholarship, research, and information on landscape planning and design - effective, inexpensive, and democratic tools for protecting natural environments, reclaiming disturbed land, and creating sustainable communities that foster health and safety.

Review :
"Biodiversity Planning and Design: Sustainable Practices is a valuable resource for students, practitioners, and environmental activists that describes, through multiple case studies, a diverse range of projects in varied climates, and at scales that range from small sites to regions. That the planning and design process, and post-construction challenges and performance are included only increases the book's value." --William Wenk, FASLA, Founder/President, Wenk Associates Inc. "Restoration requires a big vision informed and balanced by reality. These case studies have the advantage of hindsight to assess what worked and what did not work, yielding invaluable insights for both practitioners and planners." --Leslie Jones Sauer, author of "The Once and Future Forest"; founder, Andropogon Associates "This book highlights both how important biodiversity considerations are to planning and design and how essential good planning and design are to conserving biodiversity. The case studies offer important lessons for strengthening the links between biodiversity conservation and planning and design practice." --Timothy P. Duane, Associate Professor of City and Regional Planning at the University of California, Berkeley
