Trade ReviewThe authors did an outstanding job in collecting, analyzing, and organizing current best management practices for aviation wildlife management. I recommend Wildlife in Airport Environments to wildlife professionals and airport managers as the basis for science-based wildlife control programs. -- Nick Atwell Animal Behaviour I believe that the book should be read by airport managers, wildlife damage specialists, and wildlife professionals and students in general. -- Russ Reidinger Journal of Wildlife Management If a book like this had been available some years ago when I started my research on wildlife strikes as a human-wildlife conflict issue, it would have saved me a lot of time -- Cecilia Soldatini Journal of Field Ornithology
