A call for wildlife conservationists to transcend the boundaries of
locality, share best practices, and unite with a common voice to
influence global policy.
Habitat loss, disease management, predator-human conflict, illegal
trade--these are among the many conservation challenges faced by
wildlife experts around the world. But how wildlife professionals
approach these issues has historically been geographically fragmented.
By providing a broad perspective on issues faced by wildlife on an
international scale, the authors of International Wildlife Management
make vital connections, drawing attention to underlying causes and
strategies for mitigation that may look surprisingly similar from
Montana to Zimbabwe.
Bringing together wildlife professionals from around the globe to
discuss shared challenges, International Wildlife Management
- examines widespread patterns of wildlife loss
- covers key conservation strategies, including species reintroduction,
community engagement, and wildlife commerce
- explores the urgent concerns of climate change, habitat loss and
fragmentation, invasive species, and poaching
- reviews major organizations involved in wildlife management at an
international level, highlighting examples of cooperation among groups
and nations in effective wildlife management efforts
- features stories of success and struggle from authors across 17
countries on 6 continents
This timely and thorough overview thinks big by assessing threats to
wildlife on a global scale. Wild creatures don't recognize artificial
geographic borders. This useful compendium demonstrates that researchers
and scientists should follow their lead.
