Wildlife Conservation in Africa: A Scientific Approach presents comprehensive management
strategies for the consumptive and non-consumptive utilization of wildlife across
Sub-Saharan Africa. It describes African economies that are currently dependent on
wildlife resources and prescribes strategies for conserving biodiversity in both forests
and animals in ecosystems across the continent. The book covers the history and current
status of how Africa's culture, traditions, healthcare and food sources are woven
intricately around the local wildlife and resources. It is a necessary resource for
researchers and practitioners in wildlife and ecological conservation, but is also
useful for administrators and managers of protected areas
