Publication : New York, NY : Springer, cop. 2009
Description matérielle : 1 ressource dématérialisée
Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references and index
"The vicuna has been one of the few success stories of wildlife conservation. Increasing
populations are, however, raising new challenges for effective management as emphasis
shifts from protection to allow sustainable use. Internationally, policy development
has followed the community-based conservation paradigm, which holds that economic
benefits from wildlife management practices bring greater commitment on the part of
local communities to protect both the species and its habitat. In this book we argue
that sustainability is not guaranteed by sustainable use, and that both education
and regulation are required to prevent the proliferation of unsustainable practices.
Community wildlife management does not replace conservation, but it does fundamentally
alter the nature of the task that conservation agencies face."--Jacket
