This book was released on 2010-05-16 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eastern bison roamed Florida into the 1800s. Red wolves disappeared in the 1920s. The dusky seaside sparrow was declared extinct in 1990. It's too soon to say whether the 116 threatened, endangered, or imperiled animal species currently found in the state will also fall victim to climate change, extermination, overdevelopment, or poisons. But as long as they remain, there will be men and women who work tirelessly on their behalf. Combining adventure, natural history, and cultural history, Encounters with Florida’s Endangered Wildlife features chapters tracking panthers, black bears, whooping cranes, manatees, sea turtles, even ivory-billed woodpeckers--which may or may not be extinct. Join Doug Alderson as he travels into prairies, woods, springs, and ocean to come face to face with these and other captivating creatures and learns firsthand about their strangled lives and fragile habitats. With a chapter on the impact of non-native populations of Burmese pythons and Rhesus monkeys, as well as a chilling epilogue that imagines the peninsula one hundred years in the future, this book is a must-read for anyone who wants to know more about the current state of wild Florida.

Book excerpt: Experience the thrilling adventures in wildlife conservation from "the Indiana Jones of Biology" (Entrepreneur) in this action-packed and educational memoir filled with danger and intrigue. Very few individuals can truthfully say that their work impacts every person on earth. Forrest Galante is one of them. As a wildlife biologist and conservationist, Galante devotes his life to studying, rediscovering, and protecting our planet’s amazing lifeforms. Part memoir, part biological adventure, Still Alive celebrates the beauty and determined resiliency of our world, as well as the brave conservationists fighting to save it. In his debut book, Galante takes readers on an exhilarating journey to the most remote and dangerous corners of the world. He recounts miraculous rediscoveries of species that were thought to be extinct and invites readers into his wild life: from his upbringing amidst civil unrest in Zimbabwe to his many globetrotting adventures, including suspenseful run-ins with drug cartels, witch doctors, and vengeful government officials. He shares all of the life-threatening bites, fights, falls, and jungle illnesses. He also investigates the connection between wildlife mistreatment and human safety, particularly in relation to COVID-19. Still Alive is much more than just a can’t-put-down adventure story bursting with man-eating crocodiles, long-forgotten species rediscovered, and near-death experiences. It is an impassioned, informative, and undeniably inspiring examination of the importance of wildlife conservation today and how every individual can make a difference.
Download or read book The Hunter s Guide to Endangered Species with Selected Recipes written by The Old Biologist and published by . This book was released on 2005-04-01 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forget everything you thought you knew about Endangered Species! This satirical exposi reveals the personality and character defects that have led these dastardly animals to the edge of extinction, and will inspire you to continue to do your part to push them over the edge into a well-deserved oblivion -- and maximize your personal enjoyment as you do it. The book begins with a bold, revisionist look at the scientific evidence behind endangeredness. You will learn that, contrary to popular scientific opinion, these obnoxious creatures brought their plight on themselves through sociopathic behaviors, poor hygiene, a lack of personal responsibility and bad parenting skills. You'll understand why it is so important - and personally rewarding - to do your part to help Nature do these species in, once and for all! Did you know that many endangered species can be found right in the middle of major metropolitan areas? Yep, some of America's finest cities have built endangered species hunting preserves, called "zoos" - often right in the middle of downtown! You will learn how to hunt effectively, whether your quarry is found in the urban zoo environment or in one of our great national parks or a government-run endangered species breeding facility. You'll learn the proper way to behave toward government wildlife biologists, who have done so much to open up hunting opportunities. You'll get guidance on weaponry (from grenade launchers to high-tech harpoons); how to use wardrobe and accessories to camouflage yourself for the urban hunt (children come in really handy); how to use government documents (such as "Environmental Impact Statements") to locate rare species in a development project nearyou; and many useful hunting safety tips to help you behave responsibly and safely as you bag the rarest of the rare. And best of all, you'll learn how to use what you shoot, with guidance ranging from attractive trophy-mounting and gift-giving tips to some great tasty recipes (your guests will rave over your California Condor Soup or Blue Whale Blubber Pie). Round it out with a handy glossary of Endangered Species terms, and you have the Complete Guide to a great, socially responsible sport - hunting endangered species!
