Förlagets beskrivning
Through photographs, letters, essays and articles, this book tells the
history of endangered species conservation and the Wildlife Conservation
Society's global role in rescuing animals and their habitats from extinction.
The Society, originally called the New York Zoological Society, was founded in
the 1890s to establish the famed Bronx Zoo. This book describes how the Society
has grown and fought through the years to save endangered species and protect
fragile wilderness areas around the world. Some of the Society's leaders - William T. Hornaday, William Beebe,
Fairfield Osborn, George B. Schaller, and William Conway - address various
aspects of conservation. Included are pieces about preserving the American
bison and the great whales; odes to the complexity of nature; reports about the
future of the African elephant and other animals ; excerpts from speeches on
how to educate and inform the public about conservation; and tales of
scientific adventure, from the ocean depths to the far reaches of the
Himalayas. This volume tells the history of endangered species conservation and the
Wildlife Conservation Society's global role in rescuing animals and their
habitats from extinction. It describes the work of the Society which was
founded in the 1890s to establish the famed Bronx Zoo.
