BOOK: Conservation of Shared Environments
Udall Center researchers Laura López-Hoffman, Emily McGovern, and Robert Varady have edited a new book (with UA geoscientist Karl Flessa), Conservation of Shared Environments: Learning from the United States and Mexico, published recently by the University of Arizona Press.
The book, the first in the UA Press EDGE (Environmental Science, Law, and Public Policy) Series, comprises chapters from U.S. and Mexican scientists and scholars, discussing not only conservation problems that extend along the international border, but also potential strategies and policies for more effective transboundary conservation.
