This primer provides an introduction to the ideas of modern conservation biology, and the issues that constrain us from achieving sustainability.Opening with a consideration of ecology and conservation as a science, and the notion of different processes happening at different scales, the primer goes on to discuss the importance of populations and life histories. With a step up in scale, it then introduces the idea of ecosystem services, and the dependence of human life and well-being on these services.
