Wild mammals in captivity
    Kleiman, Devra G. | Thompson, Katerina V. | Baer, Charlotte Kirk

Zoos, aquaria, and wildlife parks are vital centers of animal conservation and management. For nearly fifteen years, these institutions have relied on Wild Mammals in Captivity as the essential reference for their work. Now the book reemerges in a completely updated second edition. Wild Mammals in Captivity presents the most current thinking and practice in the care and management of wild mammals in zoos and other institutions. In one comprehensive volume, the editors have gathered the most current information from studies of animal behavior; advances in captive breeding; research in physiology, genetics, and nutrition; and new thinking in animal management and welfare.

People, parks and money
    Getzner, Michael | Jungmeier, Michael | Lange, Sigrun

Currently, there are a number of book on the market dealing with protected areas management from different perspectives. However, there is no book available that emphasises regional development and stakeholder involvement along the "life-cycle" of protected areas and that additionally has a focus on the European perspective of managing protected areas. This book tries to fill this gap. This volume is an outcome of an international EU-funded project within the framework of South-East Europe called "Managing natural assets and protected areas as sustainable regional development opportunities" (NATREG) carried out with partners from Croatia, Italy, Serbia, Slovenia, and Austria. Within this project, the current book functions as a training manual for project partners in the respective protected areas, and as a means to distribute the project's findings to the largest possible audience.
2010-2011 State of the wild : a global portrait
    Fearn, Eva | Redford, Kent H.

State of the Wild is a biennial series that brings together international conservation experts and writers to discuss emerging issues in the conservation of wildlife and wild places. Each volume in the series combines evocative writings with a fascinating tour of conservation news highlights and vital statistics from around the world. One-third of each volume focuses on a topic of particular concern to conservationists. This 2010–2011 edition considers how destabilization and war affect wildlife and wild places. Only recently has the international community begun to appreciate the cost of conflict—simmering tension, war, and reconstruction—on the natural world. This special section examines the role that conservation plays in the context of human conflict considering issues such as, Can the work of saving wildlife and wild places help ameliorate tensions? Can conservation deepen political understanding? Can conservation help in post-conflict situations?
 
The book’s twenty essays are intermixed with poetry and beautiful photos that capture our connection to the wild.

Будущая история Арктики
    Emmerson, Charles

Previously always at the margins of global affairs, the Arctic has now found its way to the centre of the issues which will challenge and define our world in the twenty-first century. The region is warming faster than anywhere else on the planet and its future is uncertain, with the rush to claim the territory one of the ugliest aspects of the hydrocarbon era. In The Future History of the Arctic, geopolitics expert Charles Emmerson weaves together the history of the region with reportage and reflection, revealing a vast and complex area, loaded with opportunity and rich in challenges. Travelling from the oil-fields of Prudhoe Bay and the Russian port of Murmansk to the shores of Greenland and the militarised borderlands of northern Norway we learn how the Arctic nations have used the areas resources, and how past ideas frame the future.

Impact of climate change on marine and coastal biodiversity in the Mediterranean Sea : current state of knowledge
   

This document constitutes a summary of the work, studies and reflection initiated by the Regional Activity Centre for Specially Protected Areas (RAC/SPA) following the recommendations of the Contracting Parties in Almeria in January 2008. It provides answers to the request to assess the knowledge gathered on the effects of climate change on the Mediterranean coastal and marine biodiversity. More information is still needed but the effects of climate change on the sea and the Mediterranean littorals are already most perceptible and affect without exception the different components of the Mediterranean biome. They also affect the natural resources and threaten the benefits they have for the populations around the Mediterranean basin and there are also social as well as economic repercussions.
