Nature in Fragments
This book is based in part on the symposium \"Nature in Fragments: The Legacy of Urban Sprawl,\" held in April 2000 at the American Museum of Natural History and co-sponsored by the museum's Center for Biodiversity and Conservation and the Wildlife Conservation Society's Metropolitan Conservation Alliance. The impetus behind the conference —and this book— was to create a platform from which to integrate biodiversity issues, concerns, and needs into the growing number of antisprawl initiatives, including the \"smart-growth\" and \"new urbanist\" movements. Our goal is to add biodiversity to the agenda of all who are creating more sustainable human environments, but who may not be fully considering ecological issues and opportunities associated with more informed development. A second, related goal is to deepen and broaden the discussion about sprawl's impacts on biodiversity and to include looking at ways in which sprawl affects species and alters or modifies natural communities, ecosystems, and processes.
