- presents a broad array of global case studies exploring the
interaction between religion and the conservation of nature,
reflecting on both successes and failures - importantly, it gives
voice to the religious practitioners and adherents themselves,
where they discuss their personal motivation as conservationists
and how religion energises their commitment to the conservation of
other species and ecosystems - includes case studies covering a
variety of religions, faiths and practicies, including traditional,
indigenous, Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Jain, Judiasm,
Shinto, and Zoroastrianism - will be of great interest to students
and scholars of nature conservation, environment and religion,
cultural geography and ethnobiology, as well as practitioners and
professionals working in conservation

This book covers the discovery and history of the most northern
breeding population of Peregrine Falcons in the world, near Thule
Air Base in north-west Greenland (75.9-77.6 Degrees N). Although
the region was explored by scientific expeditions as early as 1818,
Peregrines were not documented in the area until the 1930s. By the
early 1990s the population had become well established, with a
warming climate enabling Peregrines from further south to expand
their breeding range northward. Here Burnham and his co-authors
present their comprehensive findings on the biology and ecology of
this population based on thirteen years of research from 1993 to
2005.
