The Convention on biological diversity was drafted with in mind the conservation of the world's natural resources, their sustainable use and the equal sharing of their benefits. Among the primary utilisers of these natural resources is industry, the pharmaceutical industry, the food industry and many more.

Booklet in a series intended to give the general reader facts and information about fur-bearing mammals from a more conservation-oriented perspective than information generally available from other sources. It is based on the relevant SSC Action Plan and is well-illustrated, with colour photographs and a centre-spread of sketches showing the animals in action as well as containing a wealth of interesting information about each species' biology, feeding habits, breeding, and behaviour.

One of a series of six booklets intended to give the general reader facts and information about fur-bearing mammals from a more conservation-oriented perspective than information generally available from other sources.

This Action Plan highlights the biological importance of these species, reviews current knowledge, and identifies those at risk and the causes, critical areas for conservation, and specific conservation projects.
