Man-Eaters And Wildlife Challenges  (English, Hardcover, Nawab Shafath Ali Khan)

The author, "a modern day Jim Corbett" is the only licensed hunter and tranquillizer of man-eating tigers, leopards and rogue elephants in india. The book is divided into two streams: real-life encounters with wild beasts and conservation techniques as perceived by a hunter-cum-conservationist. Both streams are interwoven into chapters that relate in-the-field experiences to learning, and suggest novel conservation techniques and viable methods of implementation which have evolved from a lifetime of bonding with Nature. The riveting tales of hunting man-eaters, rogue elephants, and renegade sloth bears are interspersed with expert recommendations on scientific and practical wildlife conservation. These stories highlight the author?s acute appreciation of the sights, sounds, and life in the jungles of India. The chronicle of the way these wild beasts live, breed, protect their territory, and grow into old age reveal the poignancy in wildlife atrocities and arouse concern for expeditious resolution of the burgeoning man-animal conflict. The book, with its superbly photographed images, will appeal equally to lovers of jungle adventures and to those concerned with the environment and wildlife.
