Urban Wildlife Management

The first comprehensive text to examine the issues that have led to the need for human-wildlife interface management strategies, Urban Wildlife Management focuses not only on ecological matters, but also incorporates the political, economic, and societal issues. Synthesizing hundreds of journal articles with countless other sources, the book organizes a wealth of material under five subject areas: urban landscapes, urban ecosystems, urban habitats and hazards, sociopolitical issues, and special management considerations. Exploring the changing landscape of wildlife management, the authors offer a historical perspective and take a closer look at current trends and future directions.
