Produktinformationen zu „Wild Rangelands (PDF)“
Rangeland ecosystems which include unimproved grasslands,
shrublands, savannas and semi-deserts, support half of the
world's livestock, while also providing habitats for some of
the most charismatic of wildlife species. This book examines the
pressures on rangeland ecosystems worldwide from human land use,
over-hunting, and subsistence and commercial farming of livestock
and crops. Leading experts have pooled their experiences from all
continents to cover the ecological, sociological, political,
veterinary, and economic aspects of rangeland management today.
This book provides practitioners and students of
rangeland management and wildland conservation with a diversity of
perspectives on a central question: can rangelands be wildlands?
* The first book to examine rangelands from a conservation
perspective
* Emphasizes the balance between the needs of people and
livestock, and wildlife
* Written by an international team of experts covering all
geographical regions
* Examines ecological, sociological, political, veterinary, and
economic aspects of rangeland management and wildland conservation,
providing a diversity of perspectives not seen before in a single
volume
