Review
'... fascinating reading ... a must for all fans of the carnivores, as well as students of conservation and carnivore biology.' Graham J. Holloway, Biologist
Book Description
Carnivores, such as tigers, wolves and badgers are charismatic and the focus of much conservation effort. But does this attention benefit or detract from the conservation of other species? Carnivore Conservation is a critical review of the field, exploring the problems, solutions and future for this group of animals.

Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Carnivores are the focus of intense attention and resources in conservation biology. It is often argued that, because carnivores are at the top of the food chain, if they are protected, then other taxa will also be afforded adequate protection. Carnivores are also charismatic and compete with humans for dwindling space and environmental resources. In the past 10 years, theoretical and empirical studies on carnivores have developed very quickly. This volume reviews and summarises the current state of the field, describes limitations and opportunities for carnivore conservation, and offers a conceptual framework for future research and applied management. As such it will be of interest to students and researchers of conservation biology, mammalogy, animal behaviour, ecology and evolution. Seller Inventory # 00106571393
