Students of conservation encounter some of the most complex issues
on our planet. The resolution of existing problems become more
complex when humans create further stresses on the natural balance.
Moulton and Sanderson brought the challenging issues in wildlife
conservation into greater clarity in Wildlife Issues in a Changing
World. The Second Edition of this definitive reference focuses more
closely on the causes of wildlife issues. The examination of Jared
Diamond's "Evil Quartet" (the four principal causes of extinction)
provides a framework for categorizing and resolving these issues.
The authors encourage the use of the scientific method basis for
resolution - especially where environmental laws have failed. The
three new chapters provide further counterpoints to preconceived
notions. A two-part history of wildlife in the U.S. shows how
wildlife had already been decimated by the year 1900. "Can Humans
Manage Wildlife?" questions efforts to revive endangered species,
acts which may inadvertently jeopardize the survival of other life.
Viewing the natural order from prehistoric times to the present,
Wildlife Issues in a Changing World, Second Edition gives students
and instructors an all-encompassing introduction to past relations
between humans and nature; explorations of current threats to
species and their habitats; and recent "novel solutions," where
humanity and industry have made adjustments to protect the natural
order. Professionals will also find invaluable reminders of the
importance of their work - the continuation and endurance of
wildlife everywhere on Earth.
