ANIMAL EXTINCTIONS PB (NATIONAL ZOOLOGICAL PARK SYMPOSIA FOR THE PUBLIC SERIES)

Publication Date: December 17, 1985 | Series: National Zoological Park Symposia for the Public Series

Animal Extinctions: What Everyone Should Know, by Hoage, R.J.. 8vo.

The Smithsonian held its first National Zoological Park Symposium for the Public in September 1982. Twelve world-renowned experts delivered talks on aspects of animal extinction geared for informed laypersons. This volume collects those papers, delivered by Paul Ehrlich, anthropologist Colin Turnbull, Thomas Lovejoy of the World Wildlife Fund, Robert Jenkins of the Nature Conservancy, and others. Most speakers agreed that mobilizing public support for conservation is vital; without it existing efforts are little more than environmental triage. Containing enough technical information to interest college students or people engaged in conservation activities, nevertheless these papers are easily understood by neophytes.
