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. 606 $aWildlife conservation$zCalifornia 606 $aWildlife conservation$zUnited States 606 $aEndangered species$zCalifornia 606 $aEndangered species$zUnited States 606 $aGrizzly bear$zCalifornia 610 $a21st century habitat conservation. 610 $aamerican culture. 610 $aamerican politics. 610 $aamerican wildlife. 610 $aaspca. 610 $abooks for nature lovers. 610 $acalifornia gold rush. 610 $acalifornia history. 610 $acalifornia wildlife. 610 $acondor. 610 $aconservation of wildlife. 610 $adesert tortoise. 610 $aeasy to read. 610 $aendangered species. 610 $aengaging. 610 $aenvironmental conservation protection. 610 $aenvironmental ecology. 610 $ago green. 610 $ahow to protect animals. 610 $ainteresting books. 610 $anonfiction books. 610 $apolitics and science. 610 $apreserving wildlife. 610 $asaving the environment. 610 $ascience and math. 610 $asustaining landscapes. 615 0$aWildlife conservation 615 0$aWildlife conservation 615 0$aEndangered species 615 0$aEndangered species 615 0$aGrizzly bear 676 $a591.68 700 $aAlagona$b Peter S$01501476 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786712803321 996 $aAfter the grizzly$93728602 997 $aUNINA
