In the Belly of the Beast

By Max Abensperg-Traun, former CSIRO research scientist and now Head of the CITES Management Authority, Austria.

“A delightful read that tackles with wit and razor-sharp intellect some of the most confounding obstacles that prevent sustainable wildlife management in an increasingly sanitized world. Based on several decades of on-the-ground experience, it very effectively challenges many common illusions about what many think may be best for some of our most cherished wildlife. The book is an absolute must for all who care to take a critical look at many of the current conservation practices.”

In the Belly of the Beast is published by Charles Darwin University Press. Advance copies are available from the author, Dr Graham Webb on gwebb@wmi.com.au and in time at all good book stores.
