Book SynopsisLONGLISTED FOR THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE FOR CONSERVATION WRITING Fascinating, intelligent and indispensable.' George MonbiotEvery nature lover should read this.' Amy-Jane Beer Investigating the ethical and practical challenges of one of the greatest threats to biodiversity: invasive species. Globally, invasive species threaten biodiversity on par with habitat loss, climate change and pollution. Tackling this isn't easy no one knows that better than Hugh Warwick. As a conservationist, he loathes the idea of killing, harming or even eating animals. As an ecologist, he is acutely aware of the need, at times, to kill invasive species whose presence harms the wider environment. How do we protect endangered native species? Which species do we prioritise? And how do we reckon with the ethics of killing anything in the name of conservation? Taking a balanced approach to this emotive subject, Hugh talks to experts on all sides of the debate as he explores the complex history of species control

Wolf rewilding projects have been successfully implemented across the world so what is holding us back in the UK?Hunt for the Shadow Wolfis Derek's quest to uncover the true nature of this magnificent creature. As Derek worked to reintroduce the beaver, he began to hear stories of the wolf, both real and mythical, and his fascination with it grew. He pieced together fragments of information, stories and artefacts to reveal a shadowy creature that first walked proud through these lands and then was hunted to extinction.What Derek came to realise was that the underlying motives behind our hatred were actually rooted in power and profit. We turned the wolf into a savage beast and saw its extirpation as a civilising mission. But the wolf endured and Derek tells of his sightings through folklore and mythology, the records of grand estates and parish churches as well as wolf heads, both real and recreated.With bitingly funny but also tender stories,Hunt for the Shadow Wolfmakes clear why we must reconcile our relationship with this majestic animal before we can begin to bring it back to these lands.Gow has a fire in his belly. We need more like him.'BBC Wildlife Magazine

The University of Alabama Press Year of the Pig
Book SynopsisYear of the Pig is a personal account of one avid hunter's pursuit of wild pigs in eleven American states. Mark Hainds tied his mission to the Chinese calendar's Year of the Pig in 2007 and journeyed through longleaf forests, cypress swamps, and wiliwili forests in search of his prey. He used a range of weapons--black-powder rifle, bow and arrow, knife, and high-powered rifle--and various methods to stalk his quarry through titi, saw palmetto, privet hedge, and blue palms. Introduced pig populations have wreaked havoc on ecosystems the world over. Non-native to the Western Hemisphere, pigs originally arrived in the southeast with De Soto's entrada and in the Hawaiian Archipelago on the outriggers of South Pacific islanders. In America feral hogs are considered pests and invaders because of their omnivorous diet and rooting habits that destroy both fragile native species and agricultural cropland. Appealing to hunters and adventure readers for its sheer entertainment, Year of the Pig wTable of ContentsContents Foreword by Steven Ditchkoff Foreword by Mark Bailey Acknowledgments Prologue 1.
