Top Research Papers on Wildlife Conservation

In this paper we consider how conservation has arisen as a key aspect of the reaction to human-initiated degradation and disappearance of ecosystems, wild lands. and wildlife. Concern over species extinction is given an historical perspective which shows the way in which pressure on wild and natural aspects of global ecology have changed in recent centuries. The role of conservation in the stnlggle to protect the environment is then analysed using underlying ethical arguments behind the economic, ecological and rights based justifications given for conservation. The moral considerability of sp...

General Information A. Show What You Did & Learned All exhibitors are encouraged to show evidence of their personal field experiences, study, or observations that relate to their exhibit.

Ecotourism has been proposed as a viable economic activity that can minimize negative human impacts on wildlife habitat and provide an incentive to preserve natural areas.The potential of ecotourism as a wildlife conservation strategy is limited by its inability to insure the long-term protection of environmental assets and by its tendency to contribute directly to environmental degradation. Ecotourism is a proxy market designed to align consumers' preferences for recreation with the protection of environmental assets. Because it does not necessarily address the direct protection of those asse...

This highly readable book contains a cast of characters unlike any seen before in a book about animal conservation, and a group of scientists using all their wits to develop a place where the golden lion tamarins can live, love, and produce young.

We have extensively surveyed our key conservation sites over the last four years resulting in a change to their management.

Wildlife conservation in South Africa is afforded mainly on a provincial basis. Apart from conservation in terms of the National Parks Act 42 of 1962, and to a lesser extent by the Forest Act 72 of 1968, the National Monuments Act 28 of 1969, the Sea Birds and Seals Protection Act 72 of 1968, the National Monuments Act 28 of 1969, the Sea Birds and Seals Protection Act 46 of 1973 and with the exception of certain municipal bylaws, wildlife in South Africa is conserved in terms of provincial ordinances.

Wildlife is unique among natural resources that is owned by the public and administered by government. Much has been said and seen in the media about human-wildlife conflicts and evidenced by public demonstration in small scale agricultural environments. This book is a testimony of conflicts in Mbuvori sub location of Embu District, Kenya which explains the extent and types of damage caused by elephants that are the major crop pests in the area. The truth is that the perpetuated human wildlife conflicts have far reaching implications to the lives of the community. The very sad fact is that the...

The future of endangered species depends on choices people make all over the world, but ultimately local solutions, developed with, by and for people who share land and resources with those animals, are paramount. The success of these local efforts is largely affected by the presence and effectiveness of a few entrepreneurial and passionate individuals, who live and work with local communities to develop and implement strategies for wildlife and people to coexist and thrive. This is not a small task, as the challenges in the field are numerous and daunting. Success is far from guaranteed, espe...

This chapter discusses Article XXVI of the Oklahoma constitution, which concerns the Department of Wildlife Conservation.

The legislature may not interfere with his or her authority by, ...

Animal Behavior and Wildlife Conservation is a multiauthored, edited volume that would make an excellent companion to the previous reviews by Sutherland (1998) and Caro (1999) for anyone seeking a comprehensive summary of the role of behavior in conservation for a graduate or undergraduate lecture.

Human-induced climate change is emerging as one of the gravest threats to biodiversity in history, and while a vast amount of literature on the ecological impact of climate change exists, very little has been dedicated to the management of wildlife populations and communities in the wake of unprecedented habitat changes. "Wildlife Conservation in a Changing Climate" is an essential resource, bringing together leaders in the fields of climate change ecology, wildlife population dynamics, and environmental policy to examine the impacts of climate change on populations of terrestrial vertebrates....

The traditional emphasis of most academic wildlife programs and--especially-state game departments on game species or control of a handful of "pest" species fostered the perception that wildlife biologists were ill-equipped to carry out research on nongame species.
