In this hefty work, the traditional and current relationships of humans and wildlife are described to provide a foundation for the central, lengthy argument for pursuing careful and consistent development that will maintain control of natural resources for the benefit of the country and the native people who depend on them. Targeting the central truth that poverty has a negative impact on wildlife conservation and utilizing frequent comparative studies with other areas, the authors discuss current models of trade and subsidies, arguing for the critical importance of a well-governed business climate. The final volume contains their roadmap for the future. Both authors are with the Department of Nature Conservation of Tshwane U. of Technology in Pretoria, South Africa.
