ABOUT THIS BOOK
This book brings together for the first time biological and social scientists with the expertise necessary to document the ways in which the economic value of neotropical wildlife can affect conservation. The contributors, who have done extensive research in Latin America, explore the importance of wildlife to people, the impact of the use of wildlife on animal populations, and whether the present pattern of human use is—or could be made—sustainable.
AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY
John G. Robinson is director of Wildlife Conservation International, the research arm of the New York Zoological Society. Kent H. Redford is assistant professor in the Center for Latin American Studies and the Department of Wildlife and Range Sciences, and director of the Program for Studies in Tropical Conservation, at the University of Florida.
