The Return of the Unicorns is an account of what it takes to save endangered large mammals. In its pages, Dinerstein outlines the multifaceted recovery program-structured around targeted fieldwork and scientific research, effective protective measures, habitat planning and management, public-awareness campaigns, economic incentives to promote local guardianship, and bold, uncompromising leadership-that brought these extraordinary animals back from the brink of extinction. In an age when scientists must also become politicians, educators, fund-raisers, and activists to safeguard the subjects that they study, Dinerstein's inspiring story offers a successful model for large-mammal conservation that can be applied throughout Asia and across the globe. 410 0$aBiology and resource management in the tropics series. 606 $aIndian rhinoceros 606 $aEndangered species$zAsia 606 $aWildlife conservation$zNepal$zRoyal Chitwan National Park 615 0$aIndian rhinoceros. 615 0$aEndangered species 615 0$aWildlife conservation 676 $a639.97/9668 700 $aDinerstein$b Eric$f1952-$01059932 702 $aLee$b Chang Jae 702 $aSchaller$b George B. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815716703321 996 $aThe return of the unicorns$94053109 997 $aUNINA
