Description: Drawing on six case studies of wolf, grizzly bear, and mountain lion conservation in habitats stretching from the Yukon to Arizona, this title argues that conserving and coexisting with large carnivores is as much a problem of people and governance - of reconciling diverse and sometimes conflicting values, perspectives, and organizations, and of effective decision making in the public sphere - as it is a problem of animal ecology and behaviour.
