Investigating representations of the hyena throughout history, Brottman divulges that the hyena, though shrouded in taboo, has been the source of...Hyenas are almost universally regarded as nasty, scheming charlatans that skulk in the back alleyways of the animal kingdom.

This book is about a question that bothers no one in India: Why preserve wild animals despite the danger they pose to human life and property? While the whole world is conserving wildlife as a natural resource to support national economies, India preserves dangerous animals just for the heck of it. While the world feeds millions and makes billions from wildlife, an impoverished India says we want none of it. As a result, both, the animals and people, are just struggling to survive. HS Pabla, of the Indian Forest Service, spent 35 years trying to preserve India's wildlife, wondering: why? When...

This conference represents the first time in my life when I felt it was a misfor- tune, rather than a major cause of my happiness, that I do conservation work in New Guinea. Yes, it is true that New Guinea is a fascinating microcosm, it has fascinating birds and people, and it has large expanses of undisturbed rainforest. In the course of my work there, helping the Indonesian government and World Wildlife Fund set up a comprehensive national park system, I have been able to study animals in areas without any human population. But New Guinea has one serious drawback: it has no primates, except...

Conservation Biology: The Theory and Practice of Nature Conservation Preservation and Management
ISBN: 9781468464283 / Angielski / Miękka / 507 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. - - - John Harper - - - Nature conservation has changed from an idealistic philosophy to a serious technology. Ecology, the science that underpins the technol- ogy of conservation, is still too immature to provide all the wisdom that it must. It is arguable that the desire to conserve nature will in itself force the discipline of ecology to identify fundamental prob- lems in its scientific goals and methods. In return, ecologists may be able to offer some insights that make conservation more practicable (Harper 1987). The idea that nature (species or communities) is worth preserv- ing rests...
