(lirst Edition 1991) I ore word by U.K. II. I hi PrlBCC ol VNalis 



The first two chapters explain the importance of insects to the environment and the serious 

 reduction in abundance and geographic range of many species as a result of changes in land 

 usage. Examples of a range of insects and their varied life cycles arc used to demonstrate the 

 need for a greater awareness of insect habilat requirements amongst all those concerned with 

 conservation strategy and land management. Emphasis is placed on the importance of habilat 

 mosaic and the dangers of habitat isolation. The following seven chapters give examples of specific 

 habitat requirements and some of the management options for high forest, coppiced woodland, 

 grassland, heathland, moorland, aquatic, garden and wasteland habitats. The final chapter deals 

 with current legislation, the need for recording schemes and advice on dealing with planning 

 applications likely to damage valuable habitats. Hardback xvi + 262 pages with a further 32 

 pages of colour plates. Price £12 including postage and packing.
