The papers published in this volume were presented at a workshop organised by the IUCN Sustainable Use Initiative (SUI) during the first World Conservation Congress in late 1996. The first section includes several thought provoking papers on broad issues pertaining to sustainable use. Three subsequent sections include papers from workshop sessions organised by Regional Specialist Groups on artisanal fisheries, community-based management of forests and managing wildlife for sustainable use.
Wild caprinae, including sheep and goats, are an extremely valuable group of mammals. While most live in mountains, some inhabit desert grasslands, tropical forests or even arctic tundra. They range in size from the 30kg goral to the 350kg musk ox and display a variety of horn shapes and sizes as well as coat and body coloration. They are highly prized by hunters on account of their horns and their coats.
