Proceedings of a British Ecological Society Symposium, September 1995, York. This symposium was the first on the genetic aspects of nature conservation to be held in Britain.

Later chapters attempt to answer these questions looking at a diverse range of British species. Sections: the conservation implications of genetic survey data; genetics and species recovery; conservation genetics and demography.
