The human population of tropical countries is expected to grow by more than 2.5 billion people over the next several decades, with expectations of increased consumption levels growing even more rapidly than population levels; clearly there will be a need for more trained conservationists and biologists.  Significant levels of local involvement are essential to conservation success, with the rights of local people fully recognized, protected and fostered by governmental and international assistance.  Overarching conservation plans are necessary, but cannot in themselves lead to success.   \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The individual experiences presented in the pages of this book will provide useful models that may serve to build better and more sustainable lives for the people who live in the tropics and lead to the continued survival of as many species and functioning ecosystems as possible. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Contributors vii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes on Contributors xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments xx\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRemembering Navjot Sodhi: An Inspiring Mentor, Scholar, and Friend xxi\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eMaharaj K.
