This book uses primary documents as a lens through which to examine
historical and present-day efforts to protect endangered species in
the United States and around the world. In this thought-provoking
work, author Edward P. Weber examines the values, policies,
challenges, and approaches to endangered species conservation over
the past 200 years. Using primary source documents and in-depth
analysis of the issues, the reference tracks the evolution of
species protection and conservation in the United States, and
offers a brief look at global programs in the United States and
other parts of the world. The book surveys how different countries
are faring in protecting their plant and animal life, and considers
which guidelines and programs hold the most promise for success in
the future. Chapters compare and contrast past and present
attitudes regarding endangered species and extinction and identify
the influence of major organizations and individuals central to the
debate over endangered species. Judiciously selected primary
documents also explore the impact of species endangerment and loss
on natural ecosystems—and ultimately, on humankind itself.
