The relentless exploitation and unsustainable use of wildlife,
whether for food, medicine or other uses, is a key concern for
conservationists worldwide. Indeed, wildlife conservation and
sustainable use have recently become centrepieces in conservation
and development research. Assessment, interpretation and ultimate
action in a scientific study of exploited species must consider
numerous factors: from the biology, habitat requirements and
population dynamics of the species in question to the relationships
that people have with their environment and the species within it.
Any long-term management plan must ensure that people and wildlife
can coexist - otherwise it is doomed to failure.
Conservation and Sustainable Use provides a practical and
integrated approach to carrying out research on the conservation of
exploited species. It is relevant to both tropical and temperate
biomes and is applicable to all exploited species, including
mammals, fish and plants. It describes both the practical (field)
and theoretical (modelling) techniques for obtaining and
interpreting information, integrating biological, social, economic
and institutional analyses. It also demonstrates how to translate
information into effective action through appropriate
interventions, from legislation to changing people's attitudes.
This is the first time that all these issues have been covered
together in a single, practically-orientated volume.
This book will be essential reading for graduate level students
and researchers in conservation biology, human ecology, sociology
and resource economics. It will also provide an important reference
for anyone who is interested in carrying out a
scientifically-basedconservation programme for an exploited
species, including field biologists, wildlife managers and
practitioners in the fields of conservation and international
development.
