Once feared extinct, and still one of North America's rarest mammals, the black-footed ferret exemplifies the ecological, social, and political challenges of conservation in the West, including the risks involved with intensive captive breeding and reintroduction to natural habitat. David Jachowski draws on more than a decade of experience working to save the ferret. His unique perspective and informative anecdotes reveal the scientific and human aspects of conservation as well as the immense dedication required to protect a species on the edge of extinction. By telling one story of conservation biology in practice-its routine work, triumphs, challenges, and inevitable conflicts-this book gives readers a greater understanding of the conservation ethic that emerged on the Great Plains as part of one of the most remarkable recovery efforts in the history of the Endangered Species Act.Black-footed ferretConservationUnited Statesamerican conservation.animals.black footed ferret.conservation biology.conservation efforts.conservation ethics.conservation in the west.creatures.ecological challenges.endangered species act.extinction.feared extinct.ferrets.great plains.intensive captive breeding.natural habitat.north america.north american wildlife.personal account.political challenges.rarest mammals.recovery efforts.reintroduction into the wild.save the animals.social challenges.wildlife conservaton.wildlife.Black-footed ferretConservation599.76/629Jachowski David1977-1705011MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910813514803321Wild again4091388UNINA
