Directory of crocodilian farming operations
   

This is the second edition of the Directory of crocodilian farming operations, first published in 1985. The first edition attempted to list all commercial farms, and was primarily intended as a conservation tool to assist government agencies in identifying legal sources of crocodilian skins, and wildlife managers in developing farming projects to benefit the conservation of the wild resource. The farming of crocodilians has increased substantially since 1985, and the need for up-to-date information on existing farms has led to this revised edition. Very little technical literature is available on crocodilian farming, and to try and meet the demand for more information and advice, the second edition provides a brief technical introduction designed to alert prospective farmers to the factors which should be taken into account before embarking on such a venture.

Protected landscapes : a guide for policy-makers and planners
    Lucas, P. H. C.

Many countries have areas with special natural qualities characterized by the harmonious interaction between resident populations and the land. This book sets out the varied approaches to establishing such areas as protected landscapes. It provides guidance on criteria for selection of a landscape, implementation, management and the legal measures involved if protection is to be achieved. The application of this concept is clearly illustrated through 11 diverse study cases from around the world. This book can thus provide a useful starting point for policy-makers and planners seeking practical assistance in establishing a protected landscape.

South American camelids : an action plan for their conservation = Camélidos silvestres Sudamericanos : un plan de acción para su conservación
    Torres, Hernán

This action plan gives a comprehensive survey of the distribution and conservation status of wild camelids in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile and Peru and identifies their conservation needs. One such need, for greater public awareness of the value of conserving the species, is addressed through recommending the development of sustainable utilization at the local level, which could allow rural populations to enjoy material benefits from the conservation of camelids.

Crocodiles : an action plan for their conservation
    King, F. Wayne | Messel, Harry | Ross, James Perran | Thorbjarnarson, John

This Action Plan describes the conservation status of 23 species of the order Crocodylia found worldwide. The plan is arranged in three principal sections: an Introductory overview, Country accounts, and Species accounts. Each Country account describes the status of wild populations, and current management programmes. The Species accounts summarise the conservation status, principle threats, and existing management programmes and then describe the ecology and natural history of the species and set out recommended priority conservation projects.
