Hornocker Maurice: Cougars on the Cliff

Cougars on the Cliff

One Man's Pioneering Quest to Understand the Mythical Mountain Lion, A Memoir

A stag leaps on an ancient brooch. A doe and a fawn step across a field at first light. A pair of antlers is silhouetted by the side of a busy road.From the earliest cave paintings to the present day, humans and deer have a long and complex history. Royal harts were the coveted quarry of European kings, while the first Americans relied on deer for everything from buckskins to arrow heads. Once hunted to the point of extinction in some parts of the world, deer numbers have exploded in recent years, causing tension between scientists and conservationists. And yet, this is our own story, as the fortune of deer is inextricably bound up with the actions that we humans take on the world around us.Weaving together history and reportage, in The Age of Deer Erika Howsare deftly explores the relationship between our two species in the line where wildness meets humankind. It is a reminder of the poetry and violence of the natural world, from an exciting new voice in nature writing.

Trouble and Kinship with our Wild Neighbours

The Age of Deer

Mountain Sheep in North America provides a detailed account of bighorn and thinhorn sheep across their geographic range from Alaska and Canada to Mexico. The book examines all aspects of life histories, including activity patterns; biology; conservation; diet; ecology; genetics; habitat requirements; health and disease; historical perspectives; management approaches; predation; competition with other species; natural history; social behavior; taxonomy; the changing role of agency, Indigenous, and conservation stakeholders; and the considerations for future management actions, opportunities, and conservation risks. The book describes advancements in new technologies supported by current science, disproving some long-held assumptions about the species and their ecology, making it the most comprehensive source of information about mountain sheep in North America today. It offers every reader a better understanding of the management of mountain sheep, and the numerous challenges of a developing world that includes anthropogenic influences, altered habitats, species assemblages, and changing climates. Each chapter is written by internationally recognized experts and practicing mountain sheep managers from agencies and academia. New research is presented within broader shifts in conservation policy and funding, helping readers understand the practical implications of evolving science in real-world situations and offering wisdom that will help them create positive conservation outcomes for mountain sheep.This is an essential text for students of wildlife, early-career and experienced biologists, managers, policy and decision makers, administrators, and anyone interested in mountain sheep in our world today, including those who are simply passionate about them. This book will provide even the most knowledgeable mountain sheep enthusiast with an improved understanding of this magnificent wildlife resource.

This book is intended as a clear articulation of the mission, goals, and needs of fundamental taxonomists and a planetary-scale inventory of species by revisiting the idea of taxonomy as a fusion of the traditional questions asked by taxonomists and the latest technologies.

Human olfaction - the sense of smell - enables us to appreciate food and drink, it warns us of dangers and it makes our environments more enjoyable. However, olfaction is one of our least explored sensory systems. Until now.

A Life In Nature is a portrait of Sie Peter Scott collected from his own conversations, articles and broadcasts including thoughts on Conservation, expeditions to Lapland and Africa, his travels in Europe and much more. Illustrated by Peter's own beautiful illustrations.

A Life In Nature

Animal Lives

"Fongoli chimpanzees are unique for many reasons. Their female hunters are the only apes that regularly hunt with tools (tiny bush babies with wooden spears). Unlike most other chimps, these apes fear neither water nor fire, using shallow pools to cool off in the Senegalese heat. More than ninety percent of their home range burns annually-the result of human hunting or clearing for gold mining-and these apes have learned to predict the movement of such fires and to avoid them. The study of Fongoli chimps is also unique; while most primate research occurs in isolated reserves, Fongoli chimpanzees live alongside humans. As primatologist and anthropologist Jill Pruetz reports, this shared habitat creates both challenges and opportunities. The issues faced by Fongoli chimpanzees-particularly food scarcity and environmental degradation-are also issues faced by people living alongside them. This connection is one reason Pruetz, who has studied Fongoli apes for over two decades, created the non-profit Neighbor Ape in 2008 to help provide for the welfare of humans and their shared animal community. It is also why Pruetz decided to write this book, which is the first to offer readers a view of these chimps' lives and to explain specific conservation efforts needed to help them. Incorporating stories from her field work, including a compelling rescue mission of a young chimp from hunters, this book will be fascinating to anyone interested in animals and conservation"--
