This book brings together for the first time biological
and social scientists with the expertise necessary to
document the ways in which the economic value of
neotropical wildlife can affect conservation. The
contributors, who have done extensive research in Latin
America, explore the importance of wildlife to people,
the impact of the use of wildlife on animal populations,
and whether the present pattern of human use is--or could
be made--sustainable.
“John Robinson and Kent Redford provide an invaluable
overview of the status of wildlife use, from a
conservation perspective, in Latin America.
"This book is required reading for everyone in
conservation, from professionals, students and the
general reader, and particularly those who are concerned
about the impact of human populations on wild species in
developing countries, irrespective of their geographic
focus. . . . We know very little about the requirements
for sustainable use. This book is an important step
toward remedying that."--Stephen Edwards, New
Scientist
