Wildlife conservation

Given the vital role of power lines for social development, the rapid spread of such infrastructure worldwide and the fact that power lines can be one of the main causes of direct mortality for several species of birds and other wildlife, including mammals, it is essential to have suitable tools to ensure that these lines are built and maintained in accordance with environmentally friendly principles, and that priority is given to avoiding and reducing negative impact

This seventh edition provides 69 case studies with some 78 species covering plants, mammals, birds, fish, amphibians, invertebrates and reptiles. The projects are ranked as Highly Successful, Successful, Partially Successful and Failure.

In this publication, Professor Rudi van Aarde sheds light on what we really know, and don't, about elephants, their dynamics, and conservation management in Southern Africa.

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.

These guidelines are designed to be applicable to the full spectrum of conservation translocations. They are based on principle rather than example and are designed to provide guidance on the justification, design and implementation of any conservation translocation.

Featuring documentary-style photography, this work traces that remarkable story of how a species that was declared extinct in the wild was successfully reintroduced into its natural habitat.
