'Conservation in the 21st century needs to be different and this
book is a good indicator of why' Bulletin of British Ecological
Society. Against Extinction tells the history of wildlife
conservation from its roots in the 19th century, through the
foundation of the Society for the Preservation of the Wild Fauna of
the Empire in London in 1903 to the huge and diverse international
movement of the present day. It vividly portrays conservation's
legacy of big game hunting, the battles for the establishment of
national parks, the global importance of species conservation and
debates over the sustainable use of and trade in wildlife. Bill
Adams addresses the big questions and ideas that have driven
conservation for the last 100 years: How can the diversity of life
be maintained as human demands on the Earth expand seemingly
without limit? How can preservation be reconciled with human rights
and the development needs of the poor? Is conservation something
that can be imposed by a knowledgeable elite, or is it something
that should emerge naturally from people's free choices? These have
never been easy questions, and they are as important in the 21st
century as at any time in the past. The author takes us on a lively
historical journey in search of the answers.
