Tom Brereton of Butterfly Conservation sounded gloomy when I spoke to him about the year ahead.
Bearing in mind the strong meaning of the term (e.g., Joumard and Nicolas 2010), a sustainable and conservation-sound planning of the European transport network should take into account the still existing roadless and low-traffic areas.
The conservation of sound tooth structure helps preserve tooth vitality and reduce postoperative sensitivity.
Therefore, mapping seagrass beds is indispensable in the management and conservation of sound littoral ecosystems, and in the development of sustainable fisheries in coastal waters.
Weaker demand despite the lack of evidence of conservation efforts sounds as if recessionary forces might be building.
We hope this visit will inaugurate a new commitment to conserving the national park system and to the science on which sound conservation is based.
Exploiting ANWR and not having a sound conservation policy is backwards.
In doing so, it blatantly contradicts the lesson Aldo Leopold taught us so well: the basis of sound conservation is not merely pragmatic it; is also ethical.
He learned, over time, that if you gave the hotheads enough rhetorical rope, they eventually would hang themselves -- most hunters were rational, receptive to scientific fact, and eager to embrace sound conservation strategies.
To a certain extent, the prosperity of Maine lobstermen -- who harvested 56.7 million pounds last year, triple the catch in the mid-1980's -- is an example of sound conservation of a limited resource.
An increasing number of scientists want to see decisions about the future of biodiversity conservation informed by sound ecological science, and some are directly offering their expertise and services to government, in order to assess the rigour of work conducted by the research community.
