Peter S. Alagona shows how scientists and conservationists came to view the fates of endangered species as inextricable from ecological conditions and human activities in the places where those species lived. Focusing on the stories of four high-profile endangered species-the California condor, desert tortoise, Delta smelt, and San Joaquin kit fox-Alagona offers an absorbing account of how Americans developed a political system capable of producing and sustaining debates in which imperiled species serve as proxies for broader conflicts about the politics of place. The challenge for conservationists in the twenty-first century, this book claims, will be to redefine habitat conservation beyond protected wildlands to build more diverse and sustainable landscapes.Wildlife conservationCaliforniaWildlife conservationUnited StatesEndangered speciesCaliforniaEndangered speciesUnited StatesGrizzly bearCalifornia21st century habitat conservation.american culture.american politics.american wildlife.aspca.books for nature lovers.california gold rush.california history.california wildlife.condor.conservation of wildlife.desert tortoise.easy to read.endangered species.engaging.environmental conservation protection.environmental ecology.go green.how to protect animals.interesting books.nonfiction books.politics and science.preserving wildlife.saving the environment.science and math.sustaining landscapes.Wildlife conservationWildlife conservationEndangered speciesEndangered speciesGrizzly bear591.68Alagona Peter S1501476MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910786712803321After the grizzly3728602UNINA
