Opis

Many of the encounters between farming and wildlife, especially vertebrates, involve some level of conflict which can cause disadvantage to both the wildlife and the people involved. Through a series of WildCRU case-studies, this volume investigates the sources of the problems, and ultimately of the threats to conservation, discussing a variety of remedies and mitigations, and demonstrating the benefits of evidence-based, inter-disciplinary policy.

Recenzje

[This book] definitely can provide ideas to scientists and conservationists in tropical and subtropical areas, where intensive agriculture practices are rapidly destroying natural areas, who wish to convince farmers of the long-term advantages of sustainable farming and biodiversity-friendly practices.
