This book presents the issues surrounding the conservation of wild species and ecosystems used by people. It is aimed at final year undergraduate and master's students taking courses in conservation, environmental management, ecological economics and related subjects, as well as conservation professionals, including managers, policy-makers and researchers. The structure of the book is ideal for a course in conservation, comprising a theoretical section written by the authors, and a set of ten contributed case studies intentionally diverse in discipline, geographical region and system of study. The theoretical section provides the knowledge that is needed to understand the issues, while the case studies can form the basis of seminars. Readers will emerge with a clear recognition of the difficulties of limiting the harvesting of biological resources to sustainable levels, and of the boundaries of sustainable use as a conservation tool. The authors, an ecologist and an anthropologist, have both worked on the conservation and sustainable use of wildlife for several years, including the ivory and rhino horn trades. The first book to examine the issues underlying the sustainable use debate in a fully interdisciplinary manner. Both the theoretical section and the case studies approach the issues using methods from economics, ecology, anthropology and other fieldsContent: Chapter 1 The Ecological and Economic Theory of Sustainable Harvesting (pages 13-50): Chapter 2 Harvesting and Ecological Realities (pages 51-83): Chapter 3 Decision?Making by Users of Biological Resources (pages 84-113): Chapter 4 Practical Considerations When Applying the Theory (pages 114-165): Chapter 5 Sustainable Use as a Conservation Tool in the Forests of South?East Asia (pages 174-192): Kathy MacKinnonChapter 6 Will Bigleaf Mahogany Be Conserved through Sustainable Use?
