 Harvesting
Wild Species : Implications for Biodiversity Conservation
by Curtis H. Freese (Editor).
Traditional wildlife conservation policy includes the
establishment of protected areas where certain species are off
limits to commercial exploitation. But for people in the
developing world who depend on these resources for survival,
such a policy is unworkable. Recently, some conservation experts
have argued that planned, commercial use - harvesting wild
species for human consumption - may actually promote
biodiversity conservation. In Harvesting Wild Species Curtis
Freese draws together a diverse group of authorities to discuss
the conditions under which commercial use may serve as a
conservation tool. Presenting fifteen case studies from around
the world - in areas ranging from fisheries and forestry to
non-timber forest products and trophy hunting - the authors
explore the link between sustainable development and
biodiversity conservation.
