Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue on Efficiency in the Conservation of Wild Mammals. We encourage you to publish your experimental and theoretical research in as much detail as possible, and your reviews of subjects that address wild mammal conservation concerns and issues.
All mammal species, i.e., omnivores, carnivores, herbivores and insectivores, are impacted by a multitude of threats. Many of these threats impact species inhabiting different geographic regions and ecosystems. There is, therefore, a need to recognize strategies that may be used worldwide to improve mammal conservation programs, and to develop approaches that benefit an array of species. Specifically, we must seek efficiency in the conservation of wild mammals.
The aims of this special issue are to:
- Recognize common threats (past, present and anticipated) to wild mammal conservation.
- Identify the challenges associated with climate change for the persistence of wild mammals.
- Identify the commonalities of conservation and management programs that successfully address wild mammal conserva-tion.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Gilbert Proulx
Guest Editor
