Summary

This book reviews wildlife management and conservation in Central and South America. The book discusses the threats to biodiversity in this area including habitat fragmentation, development, ranching, tourism as well as hunting. The book contains contributions from many local Latin American authors who work there daily and are exposed to the numerous and unique issues that need to be taken into account when talking about conservation in Central and South America.

The approach to the conservation of biodiversity and wildlife in Latin America diverges from that of North American and European biologists. How, why, and in what way are elucidated in this book. It is a compendium of 25 papers originally written in Spanish and Portuguese, selected and translated from the proceedings of five international conferences on wildlife management and conservation in Latin America and the Amazon. The volume is divided into four parts, covering (1) local peoples and community management, (2) economics, (3) forest fragmentation, and (4) the biological basis and rationale for the sustainability of hunting. The papers by Latin American biologists focus on the conservation strategies within the context of large intact tropical ecosystems, the unique mix of immigrant and indigenous cultures, and rural peoples' continued reliance on wild plants and animals for subsistence and economic use. Biologists have developed scientifically rigorous research and conservation tools adapted to the biological, economic, and spiritual links between indigenous humans and nonhuman nature. In this book biologists and conservationists will discover potential management solutions to wildlife conservation in North America. It belongs in all working wildlife and conservation biology libraries. ^BSumming Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above. R. L. Smith emeritus, West Virginia University
