Protecting wild life for a practical, thriving future.
This classic lectures collection examines how forests, farms, and families depend on healthy wildlife—and what we can do to preserve it. It argues that conservation is not a niche cause but a broad, everyday responsibility for producers, consumers, and citizens alike.
From the rise of industrial change to the need for practical, science‑based solutions, the work lays out a clear path: protect key species, understand their roles in ecosystems, and apply humane, evidence‑based methods to manage pests and preserve game. The book blends historical context with concrete steps that readers can use to support sustainable wild life across North America.
