About this book
Takes an ideologically neutral approach to the vexed question of utilisation of wildlife resources, arguing that whether such schemes are good, bad or mixed from a conservation viewpoint is dependent on local factors. Case studies include giant clams in the Solomon Islands and butterfly ranching in the South Pacific. |There are also reviews of utilisation practices involving crocodiles, grey partridge, birds of prey, primates in research, game ranching, deer management and the pet trade.
