International Wildlife Management cover

This comprehensive guide addresses global wildlife conservation challenges and strategies. International Wildlife Management emphasizes collaboration among experts worldwide.

The book International Wildlife Management serves as a crucial call for wildlife conservationists to move beyond local boundaries. It emphasizes the importance of sharing best practices and uniting under a common voice to influence global policy. The authors highlight the pressing conservation challenges faced by wildlife experts worldwide, including habitat loss, disease management, predator-human conflict, and illegal trade. Historically, the approaches to these issues have been fragmented geographically, but this work seeks to bridge that gap.

By providing a broad perspective on international wildlife issues, International Wildlife Management connects various challenges that wildlife faces, revealing that the underlying causes and strategies for mitigation can be surprisingly similar across different regions, from Montana to Zimbabwe. The book brings together wildlife professionals from around the globe to discuss shared challenges and examines widespread patterns of wildlife loss. It covers key conservation strategies such as species reintroduction, community engagement, and wildlife commerce.

Additionally, it explores urgent concerns like climate change, habitat loss and fragmentation, invasive species, and poaching. The book reviews major organizations involved in wildlife management at an international level and highlights successful cooperation among various groups and nations. Featuring stories of success and struggle from authors across 17 countries on 6 continents, International Wildlife Management provides a timely and thorough overview of the need for a global perspective in wildlife conservation.

As one who often finds himself reading news reports, commentary, and other material on a wide range of wildlife conservation issues, many of which seem mind-bogglingly perplexing in their complexity and – from an amateur's perspective – wholly beyond human capability to solve, I am very excited to see such a book as this now available that can provide not only an insight into how wildlife management professionals approach such challenges, but also that potential solutions are not only possible but are in fact already being tested and implemented in the field.

International Wildlife Management is an excellent book containing 16 chapters, including a 6 page index.
