Resolving Human-Wildlife Conflicts

An excellent and well-organized overview of an emerging field, this volume discusses the issues currently facing wildlife managers, and anyone else who deals with interactions between wildlife and humans. The book contains an extensive review of the scientific literature and stresses the inter-relatedness of wildlife damage management and the larger discipline of wildlife conservation. It covers the philosophy, history, and social considerations of issues such as euthanasia, relocation, and supplemental feeding. By defining the discipline, it fills a void in wildlife management and ecology programs.
