Would their elimination, which humans have sought with ever greater urgency in recent times, bring about a pastoral, peaceful human civilization? Or in fact is their existence critical to our own, and do we need to be doing more to assure their health and the health of the landscapes they need to thrive? In The Carnivore Way, Cristina Eisenberg argues compellingly for the necessity of top predators in large, undisturbed landscapes, and how a continental-long corridor?a ?carnivore way??provides the room they need to roam and connected landscapes that allow them to disperse. Eisenberg follows the footsteps of six large carnivores?wolves, grizzly bears, lynx, jaguars, wolverines, and cougars?on a 7,500-mile wildlife corridor from Alaska to Mexico along the Rocky Mountains. Backed by robust science, she shows how their well-being is a critical factor in sustaining healthy landscapes and how it is possible for humans and large carnivores to coexist peacefully and even to thrive. University students in natural resource science programs, resource managers, conservation organizations, and anyone curious about carnivore ecology and management in a changing world will find a thoughtful guide to large carnivore conservation that dispels long-held myths about their ecology and contributions to healthy, resilient landscapes. 606 $aNature conservation 606 $aAnimal ecology 606 $aEcosystems 606 $aBiodiversity 606 $aNature Conservation$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U26008 606 $aAnimal Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19015 606 $aEcosystems$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L1904X 606 $aBiodiversity$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19031 615 0$aNature conservation. 615 0$aAnimal ecology. 615 0$aEcosystems. 615 0$aBiodiversity. 615 14$aNature Conservation. 615 24$aAnimal Ecology. 615 24$aEcosystems. 615 24$aBiodiversity. 676 $a333.7 700 $aEisenberg$b Cristina$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0994768 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299556503321 996 $aThe Carnivore Way$92540300 997 $aUNINA
