The Wildlife Confessional is a window into the wildlife profession, a
career peopled by state and federal biologists, game wardens, land
managers, consultants, students, professors, interns, researchers,
students, and the community of peers who have built their careers (and
sometimes, their lives) around working with wildlife. The authors whose
stories have been collected here represent men and women from all walks
of wildlife biology and take place across North and Central America,
from the Gulf of Alaska to San Ignacio, Belize; from the tropics of the
Hawaiian Islands to the deserts of Arizona; and in the desert springs,
coastal bluffs, national parks, stock ponds, pickup trucks, traplines,
doctors' offices, rooftops, outhouses, and bombing ranges scattered
everywhere in between.
