By examining the interactions between biodiversity’s epistemology, ontology, and biology, they help us understand how and why we might steward the nonhuman world around us.'</strong> <em>- David Takacs, University of California Hastings, USA</em></p>

Anyone who has worked in conservation has probably been asked the question “why conserve biodiversity?” and this collection does succeed in furthering the dialogue on this point."</strong><em> - John J.
