Produktbeschreibung
While most books covering wildlife law include a survey of international laws, this book takes a different approach. Looking closely not only on the legal issues involved but also on compelling ethical and moral issues, this book is a thoughtful guide for attorneys and laypeople alike. Chapters are framed around specific issues, including species extinction, illegal wildlife trade, exploitation of the world's oceans, and wild animals in captivity, and include case studies. Wild animals, unlike companion animals, are usually in distant lands or public parks, making our ability to help seem beyond reach. After reading this book, no one should see his or her role in wildlife protection as limited or nonexistent. By understanding the issues and the laws, it is clear how the products we buy, the entertainment we choose, and the votes we cast have a direct impact on wildlife and the environment.
