Summary

Wildlife and People focuses on the human aspect of the animal-habitat-human triad, introducing virtually every discipline involved in the human dimensions of wildlife ecology. The most fruitful approach to wildlife ecology, Gary Gray maintains, grants coequality to wild animal population biology, the ecology and management of wildlife habitats, and human aspects of wildlife ecology.
