This title comes with a special section on Wildlife Conservation in
a Time of War. "State of the Wild" is a biennial series that brings
together international conservation experts and writers to discuss
emerging issues in the conservation of wildlife and wild places.
Each volume in the series combines evocative writings with a
fascinating tour of conservation news highlights and vital
statistics from around the world. One-third of each volume focuses
on a topic of particular concern to conservationists. This
2010-2011 edition considers how destabilization and war affect
wildlife and wild places. Only recently has the international
community begun to appreciate the cost of conflict - simmering
tension, war, and reconstruction - on the natural world. This
special section examines the role that conservation plays in the
context of human conflict considering issues such as, Can the work
of saving wildlife and wild places help ameliorate tensions? Can
conservation deepen political understanding? Can conservation help
in post-conflict situations? The book's twenty essays are
intermixed with poetry and beautiful photos that capture our
connection to the wild. "State of the Wild's" accessible approach
educates a wide range of audiences while at the same time
presenting leading-edge scientific overviews of hot topics in
conservation. Uniquely structured with magazinelike features up
front, conservation news in the middle, and essays from eminent
authors and experienced scientists throughout, this landmark series
is an essential addition to any environmental bookshelf.
