Description:Are conservation and protecting animals the same thing? In "Game Changer," award-winning environmental reporter Glen Martin takes a fresh look at this question as it applies to Africa s megafauna. Martin assesses the rising influence of the animal rights movement and finds that the policies championed by animal welfare groups could lead paradoxically to the elimination of the very species including elephants and lions that are the most cherished. In his anecdotal and highly engaging style, Martin takes readers to the heart of the conflict. He revisits the debate between conservationists, who believe that people whose lives are directly impacted by the creation of national parks and preserves should be compensated, versus those who believe that restrictive protection that forbids hunting is the most effective way to conserve wildlife and habitats. Focusing on the different approaches taken by Kenya, Tanzania, and Namibia, Martin vividly shows how the world s last great populations of wildlife have become the hostages in a fight between those who love animals and those who would save them."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
