Stories
collected in this informative report describe three common threads of
conservation stewardship, say its authors: 1) a sense of place that is
complex and multi-faceted; 2) community-based conservation that is
comprehensive, collaborative, respectful, and self-sustaining; and 3) a
foundation of commitment and passion that works in concert with a sound
scientific understanding to provide enduring inspiration.
