Woodland Savanna Antelopes

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The book explains various ways antelope population uses the woodland savanna ecosystem. Wildlife population reduction in the tropics has been caused by poverty, corruption, habitat loss, and poaching. However, bush-meat is a delicacy in many countries found in the developing world. Unfortunately, wildlife farming is still a very remote idea in many communities, hence, whenever bush-meat is needed for consumption the people would turn to the wild forest for poaching. Nonetheless, the Savanna ecosystem is not rich in vegetation, rainfall, moisture, and nutrients compared to the rainforest yet it homes a hug population of wildlife especially the antelopes. The book further examines how antelopes make use of different ecological factors such as vegetation, landscape, weather, for the welfare of their social activities and population distribution. The behavioral flexibility of most antelope species to arid climatic conditions of the woodland savanna ecosystem undoubtedly has favored their hug population distribution in many countries in the tropics.
