Summary
"Nature-Friendly Communities tackles some of the thorniest problems of our communities today - land conservation, quality of life, and damaged habitats. And it offers the most creative and successful tools and programs to create healthier communities and a better quality of life." "In this book, Christopher Duerksen and Cara Snyder detail the most successful nature protection programs in towns and counties across America. They discover creative examples that other communities can easily follow and document the many social and economic benefits of living in a nature-friendly community." "The case studies range across the map looking at communities with unique environmental conditions, different political make-ups, and diverse local economies. They document the benefits of comprehensive nature protection efforts, analyze best community practices, and establish benchmarks for evaluating programs. Duerksen and Snyder summarize the most successful strategies that other communities can use to become nature-friendly communities." "Nature-Friendly Communities offers an inspiring overview of the increasing number of communities that have forged successful nature protection programs. This book is an essential resource for public officials, planners, environmentalists, and community activists."--Jacket.

Summary
The rapidly increasing number of threatened flora and fauna species worldwide is one of the chief problems confronting environmental professionals today. This problem is largely due to the impact humans have had on land use through development (e.g. agricultural, residential, industrial, infrastructure and mining developments). The requirement for developers to implement measures to reduce the impacts of development on wildlife is underpinned by government legislation. A variety of measures or strategies are available to reduce such impacts, including those to reduce impacts on flora and fauna.

Summary
"The bowerbirds (family Ptilonorhynchidae) are famed for their unique bower-building behaviour which, in some species, can be a complex construction of sticks and other vegetable matter that can grow to two metres or so in diameter and about one and a half metres high. Many species are also accomplished mimics, and are able to copy the calls of other bird species, other natural and mechanical sounds and even human speech. The bowerbirds are confined to Australia and New Guinea and, due to the difficulty in accessing certain areas of their distribution, the study of their habits has been challenging. The 20 species are also almost equally divided between the two regions with eight species endemic to Australia, 10 to New Guinea and two species occurring in both regions"--Publisher.
