Reading and Miller (Prairie Night: Black-Footed Ferrets and the Recovery of Endangered Species) are conservation biologists who present 49 case studies of endangered animals. The case studies are signed and represent the work of 70 individuals from 16 countries. They give the common name, scientific name, order, family, status, a list of threats, habitats, distribution, natural history, conflicting issues, and prognosis for each animal. They further provide a list of selected conservation organizations. Although the number of animals is limited, this guide is recommended for academic libraries requiring more detailed, scholarly information on specific animals and for the bibliography provided for each animal.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Explore the multiple issues that surround species declines and conservation efforts through the only reference source to examine the conflicting conservation issues of 49 endangered species. While the causes of endangerment are relatively easy to understand, the ultimate or underlying factors are often far more complex and difficult to address. An introduction to these issues and how to resolve them is provided in this unique collection of case studies of animal species that have been pushed to the brink of extinction. Each case study provides the following information: - Common name - Scientific name - Order - Family - Status - Threats - Habitat - Distribution - Natural history - Conflicting Issues - Future and Prognosis.Conservationists are increasingly recognizing that the ultimate causes of extinction are primarily socio-economic and political, yet biological approaches to recovery continue to dominate. More inclusive, interdisciplinary conservation programs are explored here to offer better prospects for managing problems and conflicts. In addition to the case studies, trends and common themes are explored to provide a comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach to conservation. Students and teachers can explore a wide variety of endangered species programs and the conflicting issues common to recovery efforts, which will enable them to evaluate conservation practice and to draw their own conclusions for improvement.
