Description

Wildlife Ethics

A systematic account of the ethical issues related to wildlife management and conservation

Wildlife Ethics is the first systematic, book-length discussion of the ethics of wildlife conservation and management, and it examines the key ethical questions and controversies. Tackling both theory and practice, the text is divided into two parts. The first part describes key concepts, ethical theories, and management models relating to wildlife. The second part puts these concepts, theories, and models to work, illustrating their significance through detailed case studies on controversies in wildlife management and conservation.

The book explores pressing topics including human responsibilities due to climate change, trade-offs when managing zoonotic disease risks, the ethics of the wildlife trade, culling non-native species, indigenous wildlife use, and zoo-based conservation programmes. Readers are encouraged to explore different ways of valuing wild animals and their practical implications.
