About this book

The persistence of intact ecosystems in South America, and to a lesser degree in Central America, is the result of the region's unique mixture of human cultures as well as of its inhabitants' continued reliance on wild plants and animals for subsistence andeconomic use. This book highlights South and Central American approaches to wildlife conservation and documents both the current state and the historical development of a Latin American conservation and management strategy.
