About this title

Synopsis

Wildlife and Recreationists defines and clarifies the issues surrounding the conflict between outdoor recreation and the health and well-being of wildlife and ecosystems. Contributors to the volume consider both direct and indirect effects of widlife-recreationist interactions, including:

• wildlife responses to disturbance, and the origins of these responses
• how specific recreational activities affect diverse types of wildlife
• the human dimensions of managing recreationists
• the economic importance of outdoor recreation
• how wildlife and recreationists might be able to coexist

The book is a useful synthesis of what is known concerning wildlife and recreation. More important, it addresses both research needs and management options to minimize conflicts.
