About the Book
Ex Situ Plant Conservation: Supporting Species Survival in the Wild edited by Edward O. Guerrant Jr., Kayri Havens, and Mike Maunder

Faced with widespread and devastating loss of biodiversity in wild habitats, scientists have developed innovative strategies for studying and protecting targeted plant and animal species in "off-site" facilities such as botanic gardens and zoos. Such ex situ work is an increasingly important component of conservation and restoration efforts.
