Sloth Bear: The Barefoot Bear of Sri Lanka synthesises the author's
body of research and experiences while working on the subspecies of
sloth bear in Sri Lanka. Accompanied by beautiful photographs, the
book provides readers with access to scientific information of
urgent conservation concern delivered in a non-technical style.
Meet one of the most enigmatic animals of the lowland forests: the
sloth bear. This book provides a wealth of resources and imagery on
the biology, ecology, and behaviour of sloth bears; sloth bear
habitat and the rising threats to it from human population growth;
and the difficult relationship between humans and sloth bears.
Written in an engaging and accessible style, this book is an
essential and inspiring read for both professional ecologists and
non-specialist readers interested in the challenges of large
carnivore conservation and workable solutions for human-bear
coexistence. Part of the proceeds from the sale of this book will
go to the Bear Conservation Fund of the International Association
for Bear Research and Management. The fund supports bear research
activities and conservation projects to understand and sustain bear
populations across the world.
