In Game Changer, award-winning environmental reporter Glen Martin takes a fresh look at this question as it applies to Africa's megafauna. Martin assesses the rising influence of the animal rights movement and finds that the policies championed by animal welfare groups could lead paradoxically to the elimination of the very species--including elephants and lions--that are the most cherished. In his anecdotal and highly engaging style, Martin takes readers to the heart of the conflict. He revisits the debate between conservationists, who believe that people whose lives are directly impacted by the creation of national parks and preserves should be compensated, versus those who believe that restrictive protection that forbids hunting is the most effective way to conserve wildlife and habitats. Focusing on the different approaches taken by Kenya, Tanzania, and Namibia, Martin vividly shows how the world's last great populations of wildlife have become the hostages in a fight between those who love animals and those who would save them"--Provided by publisher.Animal welfareAfricaAnimal rightsAfricaAnimal rightsEnvironmental aspectsAfricaWildlife conservationAfricaAnimal rights activistsAfricaAnimal rights movementAfricaafrican history.animal hunting.animal rights movement.animal welfare.animals in africa.aspca.books for animal lovers.books for reluctant readers.conservationists.conservations vs protecting animals.conserve wildlife.discussion books.east africa.easy to read.engaging.environmental conservation protection.how to save animals.how to stop hunters.individual animals.man vs nature.page turner.protecting wildlife.the importance of animals.vacation reads.wildlife in africa.zoos and animals.Animal welfareAnimal rightsAnimal rightsEnvironmental aspectsWildlife conservationAnimal rights activistsAnimal rights movement179/.3096NAT037000bisacshMartin Glen1949-1697010MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910816490603321Game changer4077399UNINA
