Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition.

Paperback. Condition: New. In the face of ever-declining biodiversity, zoos have a major role to play in species conservation. Written by professionals involved in in situ conservation and restoration projects internationally, this is a critical assessment of the contribution of zoos to species conservation through evidence amassed from a wide range of sources. The first part outlines the biodiversity context within which zoos should operate, introducing the origins and global spread of zoos and exploring animal collection composition. The second part focuses on the basic elements of keeping viable captive animal populations. It considers the consequences of captivity on animals, the genetics of captive populations and the performance of zoos in captive breeding. The final part examines ways in which zoos can make a significant difference to conservation now and in the future. Bridging the gap between pure science and applied conservation, this is an ideal resource for both conservation biologists and zoo professionals.

An unread slightly damaged copy. Published by Cambridge University Press for the Zoological Society of London. "Carnivores are the focus of intense attnetionand resources in conservation biology. It is often argued that because carnevores are at the top of the food chain, if the are protected, then other taxa will also be afforded adequate protection. .In the past ten years, theoretical and empirical studies on carnivores have developed very quickly. This volume reviews and summarises the current state of the field, describes limitations and opportunities for carnivore conservation, and offers a conceptual framework for future research and applied management." A collection of scientific papers which touch uponconservation biology, mammalogy, animal behaviour, ecology and evolution. Chapters include: Part 1, Problems: Carnivore extinctions; Interspecific competition and extinction-prone carnivores; Conservation lessons from contemporary extinctions; Alien carnivores, unwelcome experiments in ecological theory; Carnivore introductions and invasions; Hybridisation and cnservation of carnivores; Demography and consequences of changes in prey availability; Human-carnivore interactions; Control, exploitation and conservation of carnivores. Part 2, Some Approaches and Solutions: Interdisciplinary problem solving, an introduction; Assessment of carnivore reintroductions; Interactions between carnivores and local communities; New methods for obtaining and analysing genetic data from free-ranging carnivores; Applications of genetic concepts and molecular methods; Role of reproductive sciences; Monitoring of terrestrial carnivore populations. Part 3, Prospects For Research And Conservation: Changing landscapes, consequences for carnivores; Behaviour of carnivores in exploited and controlled populations; The role of disease in carnivore ecology and conservation; Geographic priorities for carnivore conservation in Africa; Estimating interpopulation dispersal rates; Setting priorities for carnivore conservation, what makes carnivores different?; Postscript - carnivore conservation, science, compromise and tough choices. .
