This book provides insight into the instances in which wildlife species can create problems.
Some species trigger problems for human activities but many others need humans to save them
and to continue to exist. The text addresses issues faced by economists and politicians dealing
with laws involving actions undertaken to resolve the problems of the interaction between
humans and wildlife. Here the words 'problematic species' are used in their broadest sense as
may be appreciated in the short introductions to the various sections. At times the authors
discuss special cases while always extending the discussion into a more general and broad
vision. At others they present real cutting-edge analysis of ecological topics and issues.The
book will be of interest to biologists ecologists and wildlife managers involved in research
on wildlife parks and environmental management as well as to government departments and
agencies NGOs and conservation wildlife organizations. Even those in contact with nature such
as hunters herders and farmers will be able to find a great deal of important information.
Specific case studies are selected from among the most significant and prevalent cases
throughout the world.A total of 26 papers have been selected for this book written by
zoologists biologists and ecologists. Many have an interdisciplinary approach with
contributions by economists criminologists technical specialists and engineers.
