自然友好型社区展示了美国不断发展的社区中保护生物多样性和自然区域的成功方法的权威和可读性概述。在谈到无序扩张、开放空间和政治现实等关键问题时，Chris Duerksen和Cara Snyder解释了社区可以采取的最有效的保护自然的步骤。该书：记录综合生物多样性保护工作产生的广泛好处，包括经济影响；确定并传播关于可复制的最佳社区实践的信息；建立评估社区生物多样性保护计划的基准；9个社区综合案例研究，解释自然保护计划是如何实施的。从奥斯汀和巴尔的摩到图森和明尼阿波利斯，作者探索了不同的城市和县如何采取大胆措施成功地保护自然区域。这些案例研究考察了项目结构和管理、土地征用战略和资金来源、栖息地恢复项目、社会影响、教育努力和总体结果，列出了其他社区可以很容易效仿的完美范例。案例研究地点包括佛罗里达州的萨尼贝尔岛、得克萨斯州的奥斯汀、马里兰州的巴尔的摩县、佛罗里达州的夏洛特港和怀俄明州的蒂顿县。自然友好型社区提供了一个有用的概述，介绍了越来越多的社区建立了成功的自然保护计划，以及这些计划提供的重大好处。对于公职人员、社区活动家和任何关心理解或实施当地或区域生物多样性保护努力的人来说，这是一项重要的新工作。
Nature-Friendly Communities presents an authoritative and readable overview of the successful approaches to protecting biodiversity and natural areas in America's growing communities. Addressing the crucial issues of sprawl, open space, and political realities, Chris Duerksen and Cara Snyder explain the most effective steps that communities can take to protect nature. The book: documents the broad range of benefits, including economic impacts, resulting from comprehensive biodiversity protection efforts; identifies and disseminates information on replicable best community practices; establishes benchmarks for evaluating community biodiversity protection programs; Nine comprehensive case studies of communities explain how nature protection programs have been implemented. From Austin and Baltimore to Tucson and Minneapolis, the authors explore how different cities and counties have taken bold steps to successfully protect natural areas. Examining program structure and administration, land acquisition strategies and sources of funding, habitat restoration programs, social impacts, education efforts, and overall results, these case studies lay out perfect examples that other communities can easily follow. Among the case study sites are Sanibel Island, Florida; Austin, Texas; Baltimore County, Maryland; Charlotte Harbor, Florida; and Teton County, Wyoming. Nature-Friendly Communities offers a useful overview of the increasing number of communities that have established successful nature protection programs and the significant benefits those programs provide. It is an important new work for public officials, community activists, and anyone concerned with understanding or implementing local or regional biodiversity protection efforts.
